Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson-Okojie is currently trending across Nigeria’s social media space after publicly addressing viral rumours alleging, she had been diagnosed with cancer.

The speculation stemmed from a resurfaced 2022 clip from her cooking show Mercy’s Menu, where she had a candid conversation with veteran actress Joke Silva about a personal health scare. However, many viewers misunderstood the clip, wrongly assuming the actress was confirming a cancer diagnosis.

In a new video, Mercy Johnson firmly debunked the claims, clarifying that while she experienced a cancer scare, she was never actually diagnosed with the disease. She revealed that after further medical examination, doctors discovered that the issue was with her thyroid — a condition that has since been treated successfully.

“I am perfectly fine and healthy,” the actress reassured fans, urging the public to stop spreading misleading narratives.

The cancer rumours were further fueled by noticeable weight loss in recent months, which Mercy Johnson attributes to her use of weight loss tea — not a health condition, as some had claimed.

Her response has sparked a wave of support from fans and fellow celebrities alike, many applauding her transparency and urging the public to verify facts before jumping to conclusions.
