Michael fled to Texas. He launched his Instagram in May 2024.

Michael desired to become an influencer for years. It was Angela who never allowed him to be active on social media and deleted his pages. Now his new pursuit is paying off.

Michael became free to live his life on his own once he left Angela. He has since gained almost 200,000 followers on Instagram alone and several thousand on TikTok and YouTube combined. He recently posted an Instagram Story while tagging @raybanmeta. Michael revealed he received an early birthday present, which was a Ray-Ban Meta product, and that his birthday is on February 26. It appears to be the first time Michael has received such a big and important PR package since coming to America. He must be doing something right for Meta to have noticed him for this collaboration.

What Michael Receiving Meta Gift Means For His Influencer Career

Is Michael In The Big League Of Influencers Now?

Ray-Ban Meta is a range of smart glasses created by Meta Platforms and EssilorLuxottica. They include two cameras, open-ear speakers, a microphone, and touchpad built into the frame. The new AI features on Ray-Ban Meta glasses help the wearer things like where they parked, translate speech in real-time, answer questions about things they’re seeing, and more. Michael seems to have not started using his pair yet or is probably busy filming an unboxing video to give his followers a full experience.

Michael is a well-known name in the reality TV space, although it’s been a few months since he appeared on-screen. Rumors about Angela possibly getting fired have been rampant on the Internet, and that would affect Michael’s future in the franchise as well. He is open to doing shows with other TV networks, but for now, social media seems to be his biggest priority. Michael wished to make money by influencing people when he was in Nigeria. Now that he is in America, it’s opened up more opportunities for him.

Our Take On Michael's Future As An Influencer In America

Michael Has Yet To Find His Niche As An Influencer

Michael has been testing the waters when it comes to creating content. He has been exploring food reviews, recipe videos, funny skits, fashion modeling, and dancing videos as Instagram content. So far, Michael’s dance performances seem to have become fan-favorites. Michael should focus on creating more such videos to keep his fans entertained. Brands find him engaging enough to send him more of their cool products so the 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? star can help market them to his organic audience.

90 Day Fiancé airs Sundays at 8 p.m. EST on TLC.
