Former Big Brother Naija reality star, Queen Mercy Atang, has publicly addressed swirling rumours concerning the nature of her relationship with her now-estranged husband, David Oyekanmi, prior to their marriage. This marks her first direct response to the persistent gossip.
Setting the Record Straight on Dating History
The controversy began when Mercy Atang and David Oyekanmi tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in 2024. This union came shortly after she welcomed a child with content creator and former partner, Lord Lamba. Following the wedding, narratives emerged suggesting that David was actually an ex-boyfriend whom Mercy had left, only to return to him after her child's father reportedly ignored her.
Now, with the recent announcement that her marriage to David has ended, some fans revisited the old rumours. They speculated that David's motive for marriage might have been to get back at her for allegedly dumping him in the past.
Queen Mercy's Firm Rebuttal
Mercy Atang has now categorically denied these claims. She insisted that she never dated David Oyekanmi in the past before their decision to get married. Her statement serves as a direct attempt to clarify the timeline and dispel what she suggests is false information about their courtship.
Furthermore, the reality TV star reacted to commentary from a fan who implied she might be the common factor in her failed relationships. The fan referenced her two high-profile breakups—first with Lord Lamba and now with David Oyekanmi—within a few years.
Addressing Public Scrutiny
While responding, Mercy confronted the insinuation that she is "the problem." Her reaction highlights the intense public scrutiny and often harsh judgment faced by celebrities regarding their personal lives, especially following relationship breakdowns.
The entire saga, from her relationship with Lord Lamba to the swift marriage and subsequent separation from David Oyekanmi, has kept Mercy Atang in the public eye. Her latest comments aim to control the narrative and correct what she views as inaccurate reports about her personal history.
