- BBNaija star Queen Mercy Atang and husband David Oyekanmi have unfollowed each other on Instagram, sparking marriage speculation.

- Their first unfollowing incident occurred in October 2024, raising concerns about their relationship.
BBNaija star Queen Mercy Atang and her husband, David Oyekanmi, have once again fueled speculation about their marriage after reportedly unfollowing each other on Instagram.
The couple, who tied the knot on March 16, 2024, first caused a stir in October 2024 when they unfollowed each other, prompting rumors of a marital rift. At the time, Queen Mercy even deleted their wedding photos from her social media.
In a June 2025 interview, the reality TV star explained that her actions were intended to shield their relationship from unnecessary public scrutiny. The pair later reconciled online and followed each other again.
However, a recent check by Gistreel indicates that they have once more unfollowed each other, though the reasons remain unclear.
Speculation about the state of their marriage has been further fueled by David’s recent post on X (formerly Twitter), where he advised, “Heal before you date. Otherwise, your wounds will pick your partner.”

In other news… Former Big Brother Naija housemate and reality TV star Queen Mercy Atang has shared an emotional reaction to a powerful scene from Kemi Adetiba’s Netflix thriller, To Kill a Monkey.
In a video posted to her Instagram page, Queen was seen crying uncontrollably while watching the heartbreaking betrayal of Oboz, portrayed by Bucci Franklin, at the hands of Efe, played by William Benson. The gut-wrenching moment shows Oboz standing firm to protect his brother-in-arms, only to discover that Efe the very person he was trying to shield was the one who betrayed him.
“Before you touch him, you’ll have to kill me first. You can’t touch my brother,” Oboz declares with his dying breath.
Queen, deeply moved by the scene, confessed that the betrayal hit close to home.
“Watching this film broke me. Even in the face of danger, he was still holding on to his charm, trying to protect them both… until he realized his own brother had betrayed him.”
The reality star used the moment to reflect on her own past experiences with betrayal, speaking candidly about how she’s often misunderstood for reacting emotionally when hurt.
“Stop judging people who get upset and vent right away. They’re often the realest and kindest at heart. I speak from deep experience.”
She added that while she may react strongly when hurt, she eventually lets go.
“If you ever betray me… I will vent. I will react. I will fight in my own way. But once it’s out of my system, it ends there.”
Concluding her post, Queen admitted the emotional toll of the scene lingered well beyond the viewing:
“Now I’m crying myself to sleep. I won’t be getting over this movie anytime soon.”
To Kill a Monkey, which premiered on Netflix on July 18, has quickly become a fan favorite for its gripping plot, complex characters, and unexpected twists. The crime-thriller follows Efemini, a young man drawn into the dark world of cybercrime, betrayal, and vengeance.
The eight-part series stars a powerhouse cast including William Benson, Bucci Franklin, Stella Damasus, Bimbo Akintola, Chidi Mokeme, and Sunshine Rosman. But it’s Franklin’s emotional performance in Oboz’s final moments that’s resonating deeply with viewers like Queen, sparking widespread emotional reactions across social media.
