Is there trouble in paradise? BBNaija star Queen Mercy and her husband, David, spark rumours of marital crisis.Big Brother Naija reality TV star, Queen Mercy Atang, and her husband, David Oyekanmi, may be going through a rough patch in their young marriage.
The couple, who tied the knot in March 2024, have been giving off signals that all may not be well between them.
Fans first noticed something unusual when the two unfollowed each other on social media. In today’s digital world, that is often seen as a red flag for relationship problems.
Adding to the speculation, David was recently spotted in photos without his wedding ring, a detail that did not go unnoticed by his followers. Many of them quickly pointed it out in the comment section, expressing worry and asking if everything was okay.
Apart from that, David has been liking cryptic posts online, some about what men expect from women in relationships, and others about healing and choosing the right partner. These posts have further fueled speculation that the marriage may be under strain.
Interestingly, Queen was actually the first to unfollow her husband. Back in June 2025, she had already sparked rumours of trouble when she deleted their wedding photos from her Instagram and also unfollowed David.
However, at the time, Queen addressed the situation in a viral video shared on her page. In her own words, she explained that she was only trying to protect her marriage by keeping it away from the public eye.
She said :“I was trying to take my marriage off social media because my husband’s handle is out there, with a lot of ladies sliding into his DM to say both positive and negative things. I just want to protect my marriage and reduce some of the things I put out there.”
Despite her explanation, the recent developments, like David’s missing ring, his cryptic likes, and their decision to unfollow each other again, have left fans concerned. Many are now wondering if Queen Mercy and David are really facing a marital crisis, or if they are simply trying to handle their relationship more privately.
