Queen Mercy addresses misconception amid marriage collapse

Reality TV star Queen Mercy has responded to the backlash trailing her recent marriage crisis with David Oyekanmi, rejecting allegations that she is a prostitute and expressing frustration over the online attacks.

In a statement shared on Instagram, the former beauty queen criticised those spreading rumours about her, questioning how she could have been labelled a prostitute over events that occurred before she became known.

The Big Brother Naija ex-star also addressed claims that she flaunted her marriage to spite her baby daddy, Lord Lamba, insisting she was simply excited about her union and had no ulterior motive.

Queen Mercy maintained that she is proud of who she is and will not allow others to define her.

She wrote, “USA mommy @glogele.fashion, please don’t be upset. The last time I was in the United States was in 2017/2018, back when I was still a pageant girl. I stayed at my aunt’s house in Houston, @mermer_dolly, for a few weeks before going to Florida for my pageant. I wasn’t even famous then, ma.

“So where exactly did your “USA people” see me and decide I was a prostitute????? I know my family will be upset that I’m responding. I’m sorry, family.

“Back to what I’m saying: there’s no name I haven’t been called since I left BBN. In fact, the question people ask the most is, “Didn’t you watch Queen in BBN? Wetin I do for bbn??? Dear bbn @bigbronaija, if all stars are coming anytime soon. I’m all in. Talk all you want to talk. If my crime is going to a reality TV show that most of you want to be on, but will never have the opportunity to, my dear hug transformer.

“I heard someone saying I was posting to pepper my baby daddy. Did you ever see me post my baby daddy??? When I posted my marriage, I was excited, like every other bride. I posted with no bad intentions, contrary to what people are claiming now. If he didn’t post, I would’ve shared my marriage pictures and moved on without anyone even knowing who my baby daddy was. So how exactly was I posting to pepper him??????

“Some said the Queen isn’t ready for marriage, she still wants to be in the street. Some said the kind of movies Queen act? A married woman, for that matter. Etc. I can count how many movies I’ve featured in. Mommy Toyin’s movie @toyin_abraham, my boss @babarex0’s movie, and a few others.

And I can tell you all, I’ve never acted in a deep kissing role or an over romantic scene. Pls, if you’ve a movie, I overkissed. pls, y’all bring it. Me sef want to watch the movie. It’s easy to point fingers at me because I’m in the spotlight.

“Some said I twerk on TikTok, my dear, dancing makes me happy. So twerking makes me a bad person???? Biko, let me head to TikTok and drop another then.

“Say whatever you want. Because in 2026, I am blocking all the noses in advance. Being a “good girl” didn’t pay. F*ck love. I’m Queen. I’m Gemini. I talk my truth without fear of no one. I don’t have time to fake it or pretend”.
