90 Day Fiancé couple Babygirl Lisa Hamme and Usman Umar are encountering some new troubles when it comes to their relationship. The two are currently working on earning the blessing of Usman Umar’s mother, which he needs in order to marry Hamme. Additionally, Usman Umar claims he’s interested in having more than one wife, something that Hamme is considering allowing depending on the circumstances. However, this follows rumors that Umar has been spreading. Umar has claimed that Hamme threatened suicide if she couldn’t marry Umar, which is part of

Babygirl Lisa Hamme must win over Usman Umar’s mother 

90 Day Fiancé star Usman Umar’s mother is worried about her son. Umar’s mother isn’t so sure about him marrying Babygirl Lisa Hamme. In part, she’s not pleased that Hamme is so much older than her son. 

Her other concern lies in how Hamme treats Umar, as well as concerns over how Umar will be treated as a black man in America. In an attempt to win over Umar’s mother, Hamme attended a service at a mosque. While that did leave a positive impression on Umar’s mother, she remained unconvinced. 

“When Lisa came to the mosque to pray, I was happy. But we Hausas do not permit a younger man to marry an older woman. And I am scared. He’s a black man. When he gets to American they will turn him into a servant. That is my fear,” Usman Umar’s mother told cameras. 

Hamme didn’t exactly assuage her fears during their conversations together either. Hamme tends to boss Umar around somewhat, and continued to bark orders at him during their conversation with Umar’s mother. 

The ‘90 Day Fiancé’ star considers polygamy

It seems as though if Babygirl Lisa Hamme wants to marry Usman Umar, she might need to prepare for polygamy. At least, if they move to a state that allows it, or if they stay in Nigeria. 

Soap Dirt reports that Usman Umar is considering possibly taking on additional wives after he marries Hamme. The publication reports that Umar claimed, “I’m allowed to get married to four wives.”

I remains unclear if Umar is aware that polygamy is not widely practiced or accepted in the United States. It could also be the case that Umar, who wants children in the future, may be looking for more wives as Hamme cannot conceive. 

In a conversation with Angela Lee on her Lip Service podcast, Umar said, “Inasmuch as [Lisa] cannot give [me kids], even if we are going to stay together, I must get [a] child.”

Hamme’s representative, Rocco Straz, told InTouch Weekly that, “As far as four wives in the Islamic religion, it is acceptable for him to take four wives, BUT and I mean BUT, he must be able to provide for all four wives. [This includes] financially, housing, utilities, vehicles, car insurance and medical insurance.”

Babygirl Lisa’s rep bashes suicide rumors

Babygirl Lisa Hamme is now dealing with rumors that she threatened to commit suicide if Usman Umar wouldn’t marry her.

During Angela Lee’s podcast, Umar said, “So, after some time, I was like, this cannot continue. We spent about one year with you telling me that you love me, you love me, and I was saying that I love you, I love you. But deeply in me I know it’s not love. I don’t love you for real, honestly. But I do know that to make you happy, I do that to, you know, to make you happy – to calm you down.”

“So Lisa starts, you know, trying to hang herself, commit suicide. I was like, no, no. My father is an Imam and we were taught in the way that is good for you to please somebody. It’s better I tolerate her, you know problems – all the headaches she has given me – and make her leave, than for me to say I didn’t love her, then go and kill herself,” added Umar.

Umar continued, “So, I was like, it’s better for me to tolerate that, you know…than for me to say I don’t love you, then she go and kill herself because of me. So that is how it happened.”

Straz told InTouch Weekly, “At no given time did Lisa state she would kill herself, for him or any other man. She is a very independent woman. Lisa doesn’t need Sojaboy. She wants Sojaboy! Suicide is something that should not be thrown around lightly. Lisa has a beautiful family and would ever do such a thing!”
