The father of BBNaija star Angel Smith, Baron Meyagy, has publicly declared support for his daughter amid the ongoing controversy surrounding the reported collapse of her marriage to partner, Tunmininu.
His reaction comes as online conversations intensify following a viral video allegedly showing Angel being arrested in the United States, further raising concerns about her situation.
Father speaks out
Taking to Instagram, Meyagy shared a short but emotional message, assuring his daughter of his backing regardless of the circumstances.
“Family stands by each other as a unit, irrespective of the circumstance. In the end, she’s FATHER’S DAUGHTER. I gotcha U Mummy,” he wrote.
His post quickly drew attention, coming at a time when Angel’s personal life has come under heavy public scrutiny.
What triggered the crisis
The message followed fresh developments in Angel’s relationship with Tunmininu, who earlier announced plans to annul their marriage.
Tunmininu alleged that the union was rushed due to Angel’s legal situation in the United States and demanded the return of $40,000, alongside other conditions including the signing of annulment papers and additional compensation.
The situation has been further fuelled by viral videos and alleged private conversations circulating online, painting a picture of a relationship that deteriorated shortly after their private wedding.
Mixed reactions online
Meyagy’s show of support has sparked divided reactions on social media.
While some users backed his stance, insisting family should remain united during difficult times, others criticised his approach, questioning parenting decisions and the public nature of the situation.
The debate continues to trend, with many Nigerians weighing in on the unfolding drama.
Background
Angel and Tunmininu’s relationship had initially drawn attention after their low-key wedding in the United States.
However, what started as a private union has now turned into a public dispute, with both sides making claims and counterclaims online.
As the situation develops, attention is gradually shifting to how both parties will resolve the matter and move forward.
