Controversial Nigerian relationship therapist and social media personality Blessing CEO has finally admitted that she never had br3ast cāncer, months after announcing that she was battling the disease and asking Nigerians for financial assistance.
The influencer made the shocking revelation during an interview with social media activist VeryDarkMan (VDM), where she confessed that she deliberately presented a non-cancerous breast lump as cancer to attract donations.
Blessing CEO explains why she lied about cåncer
During the interview, Blessing CEO explained that a medical examination had initially discovered a lump in her breast. However, further medical findings showed that the lump was not cancerous.
She admitted that she knowingly misrepresented the medical situation because she wanted financial assistance from members of the public.
Describing her actions as an emotional game, the influencer acknowledged that she had misled Nigerians.
She said:
“I played an emotional game. I did not have breast cancer. I had a lump in my breast, but it was not cancerous. I deliberately told the public that the lump was cancerous because I wanted financial support.”
Blessing also explained that she initially created the impression that she was considering selling her car and house.
According to her, people encouraged her to share her account details so they could send money to support her.
She disclosed that donations started coming in until VDM publicly questioned her claims and demanded evidence of her diagnosis. She said the donations stopped afterwards.
Reports on the interview put the amount she raised at approximately ₦13 million.
How Blessing CEO’s cancer controversy started
The latest confession comes months after the influencer sparked widespread reactions with her breast cancer announcement.
In March 2026, Blessing CEO shared emotional videos on social media, claiming she had stage four breast cancer and needed urgent medical attention and financial support.
She said she had received a diagnosis in January 2026 and was preparing for surgery.
However, her announcement quickly attracted questions from Nigerians, particularly over the medical report she presented to support her claims.

The controversy intensified after the medical diagnostic centre associated with the report questioned its authenticity. The dispute eventually attracted the attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
In April, Blessing maintained that she owed nobody an apology over the fundraising appeal. She also admitted raising ₦13 million, while questions about her medical claims continued.
Her latest admission has now brought a dramatic turn to the controversy.
Nigerians react to Blessing CEO’s confession
Following the revelation, several Nigerians took to X to express their anger and disappointment, with some questioning whether people would still trust online medical fundraising appeals.

“This is terrible.
Many people were skeptical about her cancer claims, and now that they’ve been proven right, I hope she finally turns over a new leaf.
This habit has given her a negative reputation, in that when she seeks genuine help, no one will listen to her.
