“Why I Unfollowed My Husband” – BBNaija’s Queen Mercy Breaks Silence on Marital Crisis Rumors
Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Queen Mercy Atang, has addressed growing speculation about trouble in her marriage following a series of social media actions that caught fans’ attention.
Queen, who tied the knot with David Oyekanmi in March 2024, raised eyebrows just months later when she deleted their wedding photos and unfollowed her husband on Instagram. The move immediately sparked rumors of a marital crisis.
However, in a candid video shared on her social media page, the reality TV star set the record straight. According to Queen, her actions were not a reflection of conflict but a deliberate attempt to protect her marriage from unnecessary public interference.
“I was trying to take my marriage off social media,” she explained. “My husband’s Instagram handle is out there, and a lot of ladies have been sliding into his DMs some with good intentions, some with not-so-good ones. It became overwhelming.”
She emphasized that the decision to remove some content and limit their public interaction online was born out of a desire to safeguard their relationship from outside noise.
“I just want to protect my marriage and reduce how much of our life I put out there,” she added.
Queen’s statement highlights a growing trend among public figures who choose to step back from social media to preserve their personal lives. Her move serves as a reminder that privacy, especially in relationships, can sometimes be the key to peace.
