Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson-Okojie has reacted to growing concerns about her health after a video from her cooking show sparked rumours that she might be battling cancer.
The confusion began after a segment from her show, Mercy’s Menu, was shared online.
The video, which quickly spread across social media, showed her talking about a past health issue, leading to speculation and panic among fans.
In that clip, Mercy mentioned a health scare involving a swelling on her neck.
This statement was widely misinterpreted, with many concluding she had been diagnosed with cancer.
In a recent social media video, the 40-year-old actress explained what really happened.
She said the incident being referred to involved her thyroid, not cancer.
According to her, doctors were initially concerned about the swelling, which later turned out to be less serious than expected.
She made it clear that she is not suffering from any form of cancer and is in good health.
Mercy also thanked her fans and everyone who reached out with calls and messages of support.
She said she understands their concern but wants everyone to stop spreading false news.
She asked viewers to watch the full video of her show instead of relying on edited clips that can cause misunderstanding.
The actress, who has continued her work in the film industry and her cooking show, stressed that she is doing fine and appreciates the love from her fans.
She urged the public to always confirm information before drawing conclusions.
