Ahmed Yusuf, popularly known as Ahmed XM, rose to fame online as a crypto trader and TikTok content creator. His love life played out in public, first marrying Safiya Umar in 2024, then rekindling with childhood sweetheart Safeera Abba, marrying her as a second wife in early 2025. The public watched—and reacted.
Safiya’s Final Break and Divorce Announcement
After a year of marriage with Safiya, their relationship began to strain. Fans noticed increasing tension when Safiya deleted affectionate posts and Ahmed shared romantic content with Safeera, including a birthday tribute and the unveiling of his new dream car dedicated to Safeera. Rumors of emotional neglect swirled.
In recent days, Safiya took to Instagram to publicly announce her divorce. In her message, she cited emotional neglect and made clear she chose peace over being treated as a “third party.” Her words hit home: “I can’t be in a place where I’m treated like the third party.” Her divorce declaration resonated with many online supporters.
Safeera’s Rise—and the Marriage That Sparked Controversy
Safeera Abba dated Ahmed previously and re-entered the spotlight when she married him shortly after his wedding to Safiya. This move drew polarized reactions—some calling it true love returning, others labeling it drama revival.
Media reports highlighted that Ahmed had taken both women on spiritual trips to Mecca, fueling speculation. But when romantically leaning content shifted strongly towards Safeera—especially after Ahmed shared a birthday video and car tribute—Safiya’s silence and eventual departure made public divorce inevitable.
What Caused the Breakdown?
A lawyer close to the divorce case confirmed public opinion: the emotional neglect Safiya cited was real. While Ahmed publicly warned netizens against bullying either woman, tensions had already fractured online support. Safiya’s removal of affectionate posts from social media was seen as a turning point.
Public Reactions & Online Factions
Reactions exploded across social platforms. Many users expressed solidarity with Safiya, praising her dignity and decision to leave. Others backed Safeera, citing Ahmed’s openness about rekindled love.
Opinions split:
Even some content creators emphasized that while divorce is painful, Safiya’s public statement was a powerful declaration of self-worth.
What's Next for Ahmed, Safiya & Safeera
As of now, Ahmed XM has not issued a public statement addressing the divorce. Safiya is reportedly focusing on healing and moving forward with her daughter. Safeera, meanwhile, remains engaged with Ahmed in content and tandem posts suggesting their life together marches on.
The saga has set a precedent for influencers navigating personal life online: public love can turn public pain. And with millions tuned in, one misstep can become a viral crisis.
