DJ Cuppy recently caused a stir online not with a new song, but with a witty response to a bold admirer who took his shot in her Snapchat DMs. The admirer didn’t come with flashy cars or a fat wallet, just raw honesty and affection.
He wrote:
“I’m not financially stable, but I’ll love to be your boyfriend and treat you like the sweet and wonderful Queen you are… Please think about it. I love you.”
Cuppy’s reply? Classic.
“Awwwww the thought definitely counts, but… unfortunately so do bills.”
Short, sweet, and savage in the softest way possible.
Her response quickly went viral, sparking thousands of reactions across social media platforms. While many found her reply hilarious, others used the moment to unpack broader issues around love, money, and expectations in relationships especially when wealth and status are involved.
One user quipped,
“Them think say she no see man, you think say if she wan marry poor man she no go pull 1000 of you?”
Another added,
“Even billionaire daughter still wants your money. Men, if a woman wants your money that doesn’t mean she doesn’t love you o. We are just wired that way.”
The conversation got even deeper:
“Even rich girl dey find rich man. A girl wanting a financially stable man doesn’t mean she’s broke. Shey if na normal girl wey turn this guy down dem for call her ashawo or dem go ask if her papa no dey feed her.”
And then came the hard truth wrapped in humor:
“Shebi una say rich man pikin no care about money? The earlier y’all know that even the girl with good intentions or rich father still expects you to deliver your polling unit! I know you’re about to cry under my comment section but guess what? I’ll drink your tears cuz, truth dey always bite una for body.”
Beyond the laughs, Cuppy’s reply subtly reminded everyone that love, though beautiful, doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Finances matter whether you’re a billionaire’s daughter or just someone looking for real connection. And sometimes, shooting your shot means being ready for whatever bounce back comes with a smile.
