Michael Ilesanmi from 90 day fiance sad with negative social media symbols in the background

Michael Ilesanmi from the 90 Day Fiancé franchise is back on social media following his split from Angela Deem, but there are several reasons why he might struggle to gain traction online. Michael and Angela debuted in 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 2 in 2018. Despite appearing incompatible, the couple decided to get married in January 2020. Angela then applied for Michael’s spousal visa, but the process took a considerable amount of time. During this period, Angela discovered that Michael had been involved in an online affair with an American woman.

Despite Michael’s betrayal, Angela gave their marriage another chance. The couple sought marriage counseling and deliberated on the future of their marriage in 90 Day: The Last Resort season 1. Throughout the season, Michael showed significant improvement in his behavior and regained Angela’s trust. In late 2023, Michael’s spousal visa was finally approved, allowing him to reunite with Angela in the United States in December 2023. Unfortunately, just three months after their reunion, Michael ran away from his American wife, Angela, claiming he feared for his life.

Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.

90 Day Fiance Fans Realized How Michael Used Angela To Fulfill American Dream

Some Fans Think Michael Needs To Return To Nigeria


For a long time, Angela has been criticized for being an aggressive partner and insulting Michael on and off the screen. Over the years, Michael has received sympathy from many 90 Day Fiancé viewers for enduring verbal and physical abuse from Angela. There was a suggestion that Michael genuinely loved Angela, which is why he could never break up with her and move forward with his life. However, watching Michael leave Angela just three months after arriving in America has made many fans reconsider their opinions about him.

While some 90 Day Fiancé viewers still believe Michael should be able to start a new life in America after putting up with Angela’s abuse for years, many have come to see that Michael is actually quite cunning. In response to Angela‘s latest Instagram reel, one social media user commented, “it’s entirely possible that he did in fact use you.” Another user added, “he was playing the long game…he had his plans.” Some fans also believe Michael should be deported, as it appears he took advantage of Angela to obtain a green card.

Many 90 Day Fiancé Stars Struggle To Stay Relevant On Social Media

Michael is trying his best to be a social media influencer. However, he’ll probably fail like many others before him. Over the years, only a handful of cast members have made it big on platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and Cameo. The others haven’t been able to stay relevant, which is understandable considering their one-dimensional personalities. One big example is Nicole Nafziger, a fan favorite from her season. Many people supported the single mom amid her split from Azan Tefou. However, the same people started disliking Nicole when she began posting hoaxes online. In 2023, Nicole claimed she was dead.

Tania Maduro also struggles to maintain relevance on social media. She was a fan favorite during her divorce from Syngin Colchester. Fans were saddened by the failure of her marriage and her inability to start a family as she had always hoped. However, things changed when Tania shifted her focus to partying and traveling, which caused most of her followers to lose interest. Michael is also undergoing a change in personality, similar to Tania and Nicole. People will likely stop liking Micheal once they realize he’s no longer the same person.

Angela Deem from the 90 Day Fiancé franchise is determined to prove Michael has scammed her, but it would be challenging for her to provide evidence.

Michael was considered a level-headed and down-to-earth man. However, the Nigerian reality star has broken that perception by showing his true personality on social media.

Over the weeks, Michael has tried his best to act too cool on Instagram and TikTok. He has become overconfident, which is evident in his posts and captions. While fans support Michael amid his split from Angela, they will soon get tired of his pretentious attitude. They’ll realize he’s trying too hard to look better than Angela, pushing them to stop following him or engaging with his content.

Michael Is Unoriginal

Michael’s Content Is As Cringeworthy As Angela’s

Michael’s content isn’t the best. While he’s trying hard, he hasn’t found a niche yet. Famous cast members like Loren Brovarnik create quality content that keeps their audience hooked.

In comparison, Michael only shares the same unoriginal posts, which only get views because he’s still on TV. People will forget Michael once he finalizes his divorce from Angela and exits the show. They’ll stop interacting with his cringe-worthy posts or engaging with him as much as they do. Michael must invest heavily in building a niche if he wants to stay relevant among fans.

People liked Michael because of his calm demeanor. They felt he was a peaceful guy with a heart of gold. Unfortunately, Michael has already proved that he’s no angel. Over the weeks, he has taken shots at Angela in every way he could. Michael has also slammed his followers for asking him about Angela. He has become too aggressive towards the people who are supposed to keep him relevant. Michael is trying to look confident and goofy, which will eventually blow up in his face once fans realize he’s not who they felt he was before.

Michael’s Good-Guy Schtick Won’t Hold Up For Much Longer

Fans Might Want To Reconsider Their Support For Michael

People support Michael because they think he’s an honest man and deserves to be in the United States, as he gave years of his life to his marriage. Unfortunately, it appears that Michael used Angela to come to America and betrayed her by making her think he was serious about building a family with her. Sooner or later, Angela will expose Michael for who he is. She allegedly already has proof of his lies and won’t stop defaming him until she gets revenge. Angela could prove that Michael is a user, permanently destroying his reputation among 90 Day Fiancé fans.
