Michael Ilesanmi from the 90 Day Fiancé franchise is living his best life in 2024 amid his split from Angela Deem. The Nigerian man was optimistic and happy when he got into a relationship with Angela. He loved her and couldn’t wait to come to the United States to build a future with her. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as Michael had planned. After Michael married his American partner, he learned he’d have to wait much longer than expected for his visa to be approved. He also saw Angela verbally abuse him and control his life.
Angela never trusted Michael. She doubted him and forced him to stay away from social media, thinking he’d cheat on her otherwise. In 2022, Angela surprised Michael in Nigeria, hoping to catch him red-handed. She got proof of his infidelity and shared that during 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 7 Tell All. Angela had enough evidence to prove Michael’s infidelity and thought about ending her relationship. However, she gave her marriage one last chance and welcomed Michael in the United States in late 2023. Unfortunately, Michael didn’t stay with Angela for long and ran away in February 2024.
Why Michael Depended On Angela For Money
Michael was self-dependent before he met Angela. He had successfully graduated from Yaba College of Technology and worked as a bus admin. The 90 Day Fiancé franchise star was once a car salesman. Unfortunately, Angela’s entry into Michael’s life changed everything. He became more dependent on her as she started helping him out with his bills and other payments. In 2022, Michael felt he deserved to cash in on his reality TV fame like his wife. He joined Instagram, hoping to increase his income and become financially stable.
Unfortunately, Angela wasn’t too happy about Michael’s return to social media. She didn’t trust him and felt he’d go behind her back and talk to other women. While Michael said he returned to social media platforms to build another source of income, Angela felt angry that he didn’t tell her about it. She commanded him to shut down his Instagram, but he didn’t obey her. Instead, he asked her for more money and said, “I don’t have more cash on me.” Michael said he’d only take down his Instagram if Angela sent him $5000.
Michael Calls Himself A “TV Personality” & “Digital Creator”
Michael has come a long way since claiming to be “financially buoyant” in 2022. Nowadays, he lives his best life and works as a reality TV star.
Michael’s Facebook bio suggests he’s a “digital creator.” He claims to be a “TV Personality,” which is understandable considering his lengthy run with the 90 Day Fiancé franchise. Michael debuted in 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 2. He quickly became popular because of his relationship dynamic with Angela. Michael has been part of the network since 2018. He’s one of the most popular cast members who’s still active.
Michael Asks Fans To Buy Personalized Videos On Cameo
Since leaving Angela, Michael has returned to various social platforms. Most recently, he created his Cameo page, selling personalized videos for $70 each. Michael was previously popular on Cameo. His old account had a 4.95/5 rating. While his new account hasn’t received any reviews, it won’t be long before he starts earning through it. Michael’s also open to making business videos. He’s charging $300 to create high-performing marketing content. Angela is also popular on Cameo. Hopefully, her husband will one day reach the same level of popularity.
Michael Isn’t Fired From The 90 Day Fiancé Franchise
Michael still mentions the TV network in his Instagram bio, which confirms he’s still working with them.
In early 2024, rumors hinted that the network had fired Angela and Michael from the 90 Day Fiancé franchise due to their controversial actions. It was even speculated that the network had cut Angela and Michael’s story from the spin-off as they had previously done with cast members like Alina Kozhevnikova and Caleb Greenwood. However, the rumors haven’t been unsubstantiated. Angela and Michael are still part of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8.
Since Michael is finally in the United States, the network may continue casting him. The producers may give up on Angela but will surely cast Michael because of his popularity. Fans would want to see Michael get his happy ending. Therefore, they’d love to see him return and join 90 Day: The Single Life season 5. Michael is a very interesting prospect for the spin-off, as he’s new to the United States. He wants to be successful and is trying to survive without the help of his wife.
Michael’s TikTok Videos Receive A Lot Of Views & Engagement
Michael has already become a content creator. He has created a TikTok account to post fun clips and entertaining videos.
Michael already has over 18K followers on the platform, which will continue to grow. He has nearly 10K likes and seems happy about it. While it’s hard to say if Michael earns through TikTok, he is growing exponentially. Angela stopped him from using social media for years. Therefore, he’s taking his time and finding his niche. Hopefully, Michael will soon be just as successful on TikTok as Angela.
Michael Has Already Earned Nearly 17K Followers On Instagram
Michael has already made a big name for himself on Instagram. He has achieved account verification and almost 17K followers. While Michael isn’t as popular as his wife, he’s quickly gaining popularity. He has also started posting reels, which may help him make money. Overall, Michael has come a long way since he was with Angela. However, he still has a long road to go before becoming as popular as some other reality TV stars. Hopefully, the 90 Day Fiancé franchise cast member will be able to achieve his goals in the coming months.
