The comment, which she later deleted, immediately sealed what had been public speculation for months.
Queen Mercy Atang and David Oyekanmi tied the knot in March 2024 in a glamorous ceremony that dominated social media conversations and celebrity blogs.
Their union was celebrated as one of the standout celebrity weddings of the year.
But behind the scenes, things were far from perfect.
By August, fans noticed that the couple had unfollowed each other on Instagram. David also appeared without his wedding ring in several recent posts.
The story took an unexpected turn when comedian and skit maker Lordlamba publicly introduced his daughter, Princess Keilah, to the world.
He shared photos of himself with the little girl and stated that she was his child with Queen Mercy Atang.
The revelation resurfaced their past relationship, which began shortly after Queen’s exit from BBNaija.
Queen later confirmed that she is indeed the child's mother and has openly celebrated her daughter online, even while married to David.
For many fans, the timeline raised unanswered questions.
