Embattled hotelier and businessman, Lanre Gentry took to his Instagram page a while ago to wish the daughter of his estranged wife and actress, Mercy Aigbe a happy 16th birthday.

The proud father said some powerful prayers for the beautiful teen model.

He wrote: “If I should have to wish you a pleasant day, I’m going to start by giving thanks to God for creating a wonderful daughter like you.
I believe today is your perfect day, your special day and a wonderful day as well.
Michelle darling, celebrate with happiness!!! And know that one of my heart desires for you is to have a life full of joy.
You have always made me proud. And no matter how old you are, to me you will always be my little girl. Have a brilliant Birthday my love!!!
Michelle,
▪May the world know your name
▪May your heart remain beautiful
▪May your star continue to shine
▪May your smile continue to be like sunshine
▪May wisdom roll with you
Enjoy your day my darling daughter.‎”
