DJ Cuppy’s response is definitely stirring the pot online — and honestly, it’s one of those classic internet moments where opinions are wildly divided.
On one hand, people get where she’s coming from. She’s a billionaire’s daughter, well-educated, traveled, and used to a certain lifestyle. So when someone comes along and says, “I don’t have money, but I have love,” it’s sweet in theory, but as she bluntly put it: “Bills count too.” That line alone is meme material.
Her comment, while a bit savage, reflects a hard truth in relationships — love is essential, yes, but in reality, financial stability matters, especially when someone is already used to a certain standard of living.
The reactions are pretty telling:
- @ivgold1 dropped a warning about not trusting a broke man’s loyalty — which, whether you agree or not, taps into the idea that financial stress can seriously test relationships.
- @benosi at least gave the guy credit for “shooting his shot,” which is fair — it took guts.
- @kingsliveth hit on the irony: with all that wealth behind her, is it about needing someone else who’s rich, or is it about not wanting to “sponsor” someone?
- And @26hmarrah gave us the most relatable line: “If rich man pikin de talk bill, who be me?” 😂
What’s interesting is how Cuppy often speaks about wanting love and a real connection, but when the chance came with a less financially stable guy, she still said no — which says a lot about expectations vs. reality, especially in dating across class lines.
What’s your take — is she being practical, or is this just another example of how dating gets harder when money’s involved?
