Angela Deem, 58, expressed her frustration over her ex-husband Michael Ilesanmi’s enjoyment of the 4th of July, taking to social media to slam him. She posted a TikTok video questioning how a Nigerian could celebrate America's Independence Day on her visa.
“Hi queens and kings, I just wanna ask a question. How can a Nigerian and a bunch of ‘em, celebrate my country’s July the 4th on my visa?” the reality star asked in the video.
Her response came after Ilesanmi posted Instagram stories where he was seen having a great time, grilling food, and celebrating with others, while also resharing fans' Independence Day wishes.
Deem and Ilesanmi’s rocky relationship and eventual move to the U.S. have been documented since Season 2 of 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days, in 2018. Their significant age gap and national diversity are what cast the spotlight on them as a couple.
Recent speculation among fans suggested the couple might have been removed from the show due to their absence from Season 8 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?
However, the couple was seen finally arriving in the U.S. in the June 30 episode. Deem urged Michael to show patriotism now that he was in the U.S., emphasizing his new status as a Nigerian-American.
