…By Gift BADEWO for TDPel Media. Reno Omokri, a former presidential aide, has shared his thoughts on the alleged split between Nigerian DJ Cuppy and her fiancé, British boxer Ryan Taylor.
Reports and speculation from fans had suggested that the couple’s relationship was going through a rough patch.
However, Omokri expressed disappointment in the way Nigerians seemed to take joy in discussing the rumored break-up.
He questioned the need for celebration and called for a more optimistic and respectful approach to the situation.
Rumored Break-Up and Social Media Signals
According to Naija News, fans of DJ Cuppy had noticed signs that all might not be well in her relationship with Ryan Taylor.
They pointed out that Taylor had unfollowed Cuppy on social media, and the DJ’s frequent tagging and posting of him had stopped, adding fuel to the speculation of a potential break-up.
Ryan’s Cryptic Post and Omokri’s Response
Ryan Taylor shared a post on his Instagram story that alluded to the act of letting go of something hindering spiritual growth.
In response to the situation, Reno Omokri took to Twitter to express his sadness over Nigerians’ eagerness to discuss and revel in the rumored split.
He shared his optimistic outlook, stating that he believed the news to be untrue and encouraged thinking positively about oneself and others.
Urging Respect and Rejecting Celebration of Misfortune
Omokri criticized the celebratory response to the alleged break-up, drawing a parallel to a character in the novel “Gone with the Wind” who made a derogatory comment about Black people enjoying bad news.
He reflected on his initial disagreement with the character’s statement but now questioned his dismissal, suggesting that some individuals may indeed take pleasure in others’ misfortunes.
He urged people to focus on their own lives and allow DJ Cuppy to live hers, emphasizing her accomplishments and highlighting the irrelevance of marital status as a measure of success.
Embracing Life’s Fulfillment and Respect for Choices
Omokri emphasized that marriage is not an achievement in itself, asserting that whether someone is married or not, life can still be fulfilling.
He referred to biblical figures like Yeshua (Christ) and Paul, who did not marry but were considered highly successful individuals.
He encouraged contentment, purposeful living, and respect for others’ choices.
Omokri concluded by sending well wishes to DJ Cuppy.
