Many couples from the 90 Day Fiance franchise have successfully managed to cement their
status as popular reality couples despite the initial hiccups in their relationships.
Lisa Hamme who is better known as ‘Baby Girl Lisa’ and Usman Umar aka ‘SojaBoy’
weren’t one of them.
From having a staggering age gap to struggling with severe compatibility issues, the mismatched
couple was doomed from the start!
Lisa and Usman first met each other on the internet, where they interacted for 9 months
before getting engaged.
Despite never having met in person, Usman, then-29 proposed marriage to Lisa who was
24 years his senior.
Their first meeting and subsequent marriage were documented on season four of 90 Day Fiance:
Before the 90 Days.
Umar started second-guessing his decision to marry Lisa because she was constantly mistreating
him.
Ultimately, he pushed his reservations aside, and the couple tied the knot in a small civil
ceremony.
Lisa got embroiled in controversy after footage from the Tell-All was leaked.
In the clips, the show’s host Shaun Robinson questioned Usman about his relationship status
with his wife.
He replied saying he and his wife were frequently arguing and also accused her of directing
a racial slur towards him.
Lisa admitted using the N-word but instead of accepting her mistake told everyone to
get over with it.
Lisa immediately became a franchise villain and many viewers believe she was fired by
TLC after the incident.
However, she quickly denied it.
When the incident caused a lot of furore, the reality star went on a press apology tour
asking for forgiveness.
Still, that marked the end of her association with the TLC franchise.
Lisa hit the headlines again after she accused her husband of being a ‘romance scammer’,
saying he never loved her and was only with her for fame.
According to Us Weekly, the 53-year-old said in an Instagram Live, "He used me.
He married me just to be on a TV show that people would recognize his name to sell his
music...
He thinks it's just him, he thinks he's going to do what he wants and he's never going to
apologize for anything he's ever said bad about me."
Usman denied the accusations of being a romance scammer and accused his wife of withholding
$26,000 from him.
He reportedly received the money from Cameo, but at his request, the check was written
out to his wife.
In an Instagram video, he explained that it was tough for him to receive the sum directly
from Cameo with his African bank account.
So, the company gave him the option of receiving the money through PayPal or choosing someone
to receive the money on his behalf.
He alleged that his wife promised to transfer the money the day after receiving it but failed
to do so.
Usman posted a lengthy note on Instagram calling out his wife.
“Keep on saying whatever you wanna say about ME but just know that I wish you the best
even if you wish me death and HELL.
I just start making $26K from US and you are claiming my money what will happen when I
start making Millions???
This is not nice woman you are old enough to be matured but they said Fool at 40’s
is fool forever.”
When Lisa was confronted regarding the issue, she admitted having the $26k but insisted
he owed her $6,300.
She also claimed that it was her husband’s full responsibility to take care of her bills.
The couple made their split official after being estranged for more than six months.
Hardly anyone batted an eyelid when the news about their split first hit the headlines
because fans had witnessed their dysfunctional relationship from the beginning.
In an interview with InTouch, Usman confirmed sending the divorce papers to his American
wife last December.
The Nigerian native said, “Lisa and I are no longer together, she was served papers
last week and she doesn’t want to accept it.”
Divulging further he said that his lawyer tried to communicate with Lisa, but she ‘cut
the call’.
The rapper also confessed that his life has improved since splitting up with his wife,
saying he was ‘happy without the drama’.
Despite the failure of his marriage, Usman seems very optimistic about his future prospects
and his rap career.
Following his highly publicized split from his American wife, he celebrated buying his
custom-built house in his hometown in Nigeria with the money he earned from Cameo.
He posted images of his dream house which has fancy brick accents, two garages, a large
driveway, and a gate.
The rapper spoke about its journey and thanked model Chrissy Teigen who started the petition
to get Usman his own Cameo account.
He stated his ‘patience’ and ‘pure heart’ led to all the blessings he was receiving
in his life.
Usman’s ex-wife Lisa also had plenty of reasons to celebrate.
She recently announced via a TikTok video that she got married again.
She later reposted the same video to her Instagram and captioned the short clip saying, “Married
my best friend April 22, 2021!”
Fans quickly flooded her with comments ranging from shock to happiness.
Lisa is hardly active on social media and hasn’t shared any post with her Instagram
followers since announcing her marriage back in April.
On the other hand, Usman is living the charmed life of a successful rapper back in Nigeria
and has revamped his image to suit his alter ego SojaBoy.
He has also established his business venture and frequently shares his life with his 202k
followers.
