Mercy accuses Ike of choosing money over her, because they had both discussed the trip and Ike had agreed for her to go visit Willie XO, in London for the money, Ike went ahead to ask Mercy to unfollow Willie XO online, which seemed like she did after a heated argument, as she walks back into the house unhappy and sad.
Ike stated that if Mercy wanted to leave the relationship, she would have to pay him the sum of five million naira, in order for Mercy to go freely.
A fan calls Mercy to talk about her relationship with Ike, as she tells Mercy that Ike has changed and improved, after listening to the fan Mercy concluded that the lady only called to support Ike and didn’t care about her.
