Did Michael Ilesanmi from 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? catch Kim Kardashian’s attention after he got involved in a legal battle with Angela Deem for abandoning her? Michael is from Nigeria and had messaged Angela from Georgia on Facebook in 2017, which led to their online romance. Age gap and cultural differences aside, the biggest red flags were Angela’s abusive nature and Michael’s desperation for a green card. Michael left Angela as soon as he arrived in America. Angela has now filed for an annulment while Michael is living a happy life with his new family.

90 Day Fiancé star Michael got to prove how popular he is in the franchise by getting fans to donate $52,000 towards his fundraiser in mere days, and now, there are rumors that Kim will be helping him fight this case.

However, Michael has finally revealed that rumors of his association with Kim and her mother, Kris Jenner, are just rumors. Michael posted a quick statement on his Instagram Stories where he wrote, “I have no involvement or interest in news related to Kim Kardashian.” Michael requested for such information about him and Kim to be “omitted.” The Sarah Fraser Show had first reported rumors that Kim and Kris had met Michael and even invited him to be a part of an episode of The Kardashians. The blogger mentioned Kim was supposedly helping Michael out with his “brand.”

What Michael Ilesanmi’s Statement Means For Legal Battle Against Angela

Why Michael Benefited From The Kim Kardashian News

Kim rushing to help Michael seemed a little farfetched even when the rumors started spreading online. Given Michael’s recent popularity in the reality TV world, there have been several clickbait articles and videos being made about him. Michael was accused of using his GoFundMe money to buy a Mercedes, and he has been linked to several women who claim he has been DM-ing them. Michael even hired a PR agency to tackle all the false news about him. Interestingly, being linked to the SKIMS founder gave Michael more reasons to be discussed online.

For someone like Angela, who didn’t like Michael getting attention from female fans, Kim taking an interest in him could have come as quite a shocker. Michael also took his time to address the news as he was aware it was adding to his clout. Michael could have thought that these news articles could actually get noticed by Kim, who would want him on her show. Michael has been open about doing shows for other networks if the opportunity feels right and being a part of The Kardashians could have been his ticket to Hollywood.
