Relationship coach and social media personality Blessing CEO has admitted to falsely claiming she had cancer to solicit financial support from the public, revealing that she raised ₦13 million through the controversy.
She made the confession during an interview with social media activist VeryDarkMan (VDM), where she explained how pressure over an outstanding financial dispute pushed her to stage the cancer drama.
Blessing revealed that a medical examination had discovered a lump in her breast, but it was not cancerous. However, she deliberately presented it to the public as cancer to attract sympathy and donations.
“Honestly, I do not have cancer. The truth is, I had gone for check-up a few months ago, and they found a lump on my breast, but it was not cancerous. So, I took advantage of that, came to the media, cried for help and said that the lump was cancerous. I played an emotional game,” she said.
She explained that she initially created the impression that she wanted to sell her personal belongings, including her car and house, before fans encouraged her to share her account details for financial support.
According to her, donations started coming in until VDM questioned her claims and demanded evidence of her diagnosis, causing contributions to stop.
She also claimed that she was under pressure from the EFCC over an outstanding payment to a man identified as Mr Onouha, prompting her to devise the cancer stunt to avoid public embarrassment.
Blessing further disclosed that she raised ₦13 million from the donations and used ₦5 million to prepare a bank draft for Mr Onouha.
The confession comes months after she publicly maintained that she had received a cancer diagnosis. In April 2026, she claimed that an initial test found the lump non-cancerous, but a subsequent biopsy revealed cancer.
