She said, "Immediately, I opened the door, he kept beating me. I was begging him and asking why he was beating me. He said he would destroy my face such that no makeup would fix it and destroy my career.

He was acting like someone who was possessed. I told him “Lanre, mo ma bi mo fun e” (translated as “I have a child for you)."

Mercy and her hubby started having issues many years back but it became a pubic discourse barely two weeks ago.
