Michael Ilesanmi of 90 Day Fiance fame has launched a GoFundMe to raise money for an impending legal battle against his estranged wife, Angela Deem.

Michael is seeking to raise $25,000 to cover legal fees as he seeks to remain in the United States against Angela’s objections.

On Tuesday, August 13th, Michael took to Instagram to share a photo in which he was wearing a t-shirt with the inscription ‘God got Me’.

His caption indicated why he was wearing that t-shirt as he wrote: “I could really use your help right now. I’m facing some unexpected legal expenses, and any support would mean the world to me. If you’re able to donate, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,”

According to reports, Angela Deem, who is Michael’s estranged wife, is requesting an annulment of their marriage and for Michael to be kicked out of the United States. She’s claiming that Michael tricked her into marriage in order to get a green card.

Regular viewers of the TLC show will know that Michael and Angela have been dating for years and after getting married, had a tough battle getting him into the States.

He was eventually able to enter the U.S. in December 2023 but after living with Angela for only three months, he escaped from her Hazelhurst home, claiming she was abusive and made his life a living hell.

Angela in return is also trying to find a way to get Michael deported considering he came into the country on a spousal visa.

The GoFundMe the 90 Day Fiance star has started is to raise funds so he can fight his wife’s lawsuit so he will not get deported back to Nigeria.

The fundraiser, organized by Mary K, reads: “Due to the recent legal filings by Angela against me I must seek legal advice. I have obtained an attorney but the fees are expensive. I have a legal battle to fight and that fight will be expensive. I am asking all my fans to help – whatever you can give I would deeply appreciate,”

The fundraiser has raised circa $12,000 out of its $25,000 goal so far.

Meanwhile, fans are divided over Michael’s actions. While some are supporting him against Angela, well aware of her abusive behaviour long before Michael moved to the States, others are saying he tricked her and if he’s not ready to remain married to her then he should be ready to go back to Nigeria.
