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.

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
