Michael Ilesanmi has been dropping hints about financial troubles online, indicating that he may not have been hired to return to the 90 Day Fiancé franchise. He first appeared on the show with his American wife, Angela Deem. Their relationship was far from perfect, as Michael failed to show respect for Angela and continuously gave her reasons not to trust him. Despite learning about Michael’s cheating scandals and secret piggy bank, Angela remained hopeful and applied for a spousal visa for him to come to the United States. In December 2023, Michael and Angela began living together in Hazelhurst, Georgia.

Unfortunately, their time together was brief, as Michael left Angela’s home in February 2024. He claimed his wife was mistreating him and received support from his new family, a community of his African-American friends. Michael began to appreciate his new life in the United States without Angela’s influence and made it clear he had no intention of reconciling with her. He currently lives in Houston, Texas, and frequently posts videos showcasing his extravagant lifestyle. Michael even managed to raise over $50,000 through a fundraiser to contest Angela in court regarding their annulment case.

Michael Alludes To Financial Difficulties

Michael Hints At Creating A Stricter Budget For 2025

Michael appears to be portraying a more fulfilling lifestyle since parting ways with Angela, but his recent repost indicates otherwise. Despite raising $52,000 through a fundraising campaign and purchasing a car, Michael seems to be alluding to financial struggles.

He shared a video titled, “how my budget gon be starting January 1st” from @kducketts__ on his Instagram Story, showing a man counting the same dollar bills repeatedly, suggesting a lack of money. Although Michael didn’t explicitly mention he was facing money problems, it’s evident that he resonated with the video enough to share it publicly.

Michael May Be Seeking New Job Opportunities

Despite breaking up with Angela, Michael has shown a strong interest in returning to reality TV.

He wants to pursue a career in the entertainment industry and is willing to work on shows with any network. Michael has started creating content for social media and hopes to leverage his reality TV fame to become more well-known. However, it seems that he hasn’t been approached with any reality TV opportunities, so he is struggling financially. If Michael had any projects lined up, he would likely be living a more luxurious lifestyle instead of sharing memes about being short on money.

Michael Lacks An Engaging Narrative To Tell

Michael Doesn’t Possess The Charisma Necessary For Reality TV

One reason Michael may be struggling with money issues is his lack of an entertaining personality, which is crucial to captivating the audience.

Angela played a significant role in Michael’s reality TV career, with her dynamic and exaggerated personality attracting viewers to their storyline. Without her, it seems unlikely that 90 Day Fiancé producers would invest in Michael. It appears doubtful that Michael will return to the franchise, as his more shy and unsensational personality doesn’t grab many viewers’ attention. Hopefully, the 90 Day Fiancé franchise alum would find another path to fame and financial stability.
