Eddie Murphy and his daughter Angel have the same birthday and decided to celebrate together this year following allegations of a strained relationship.

Spice Girl Mel B gave birth to Angel on Eddie’s born day back in 2007, months after their bitter break-up. Several months ago rumors began to swirl after Mel B’s ex Stephen Belafonte asked for visitation rights. Belafonte accused the comedian of not wanting to be a part of Angel’s life. According to TMZ Belfonte went as far as saying he is Angel’s true father despite Murphy being the biological father. He has an”A” tattooed on his wrist to signify his love for his “daughter.”

Mel B denied the rumors and said Belafonte was the reason behind Murphy’s and Angel’s strained relationship. Since the divorce from Belafonte, Mel B says that their father and daughter relationship is “flourishing.”

Murphy’s sister posted the cute video of Angel blowing out her candles and her father singing the “happy birthday” song.

 

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
