Mercy Johnson, one of Nigeria’s most beloved Nollywood actresses, is drawing widespread attention across the country following her powerful response to persistent rumors about her health. In a recent video, the star addressed and firmly debunked claims that she had been diagnosed with cancer, putting an end to speculation that had caused concern among her fans and the public. The controversy originated from a resurfaced clip from a 2022 episode of her popular show, Mercy’s Menu, where she opened up about a health challenge during a heartfelt conversation with veteran actress Joke Silva. Misinterpretations of her words led some to falsely assert that she was battling cancer, a rumor that quickly spread across social media.
In her clarification, Johnson emphasized that the clip was taken out of context, explaining that she had experienced a “cancer scare” rather than an actual cancer diagnosis. She detailed how subsequent medical evaluations revealed the issue was related to her thyroid, a condition that was promptly treated and fully resolved, restoring her to optimal health. The rumors were further fueled by Johnson’s noticeable weight loss, which she attributed to her use of weight loss tea, a choice she has openly discussed. Despite her explanation, some netizens continued to speculate about a cancer diagnosis, prompting her to speak out to set the record straight. Johnson’s candid and composed response has earned praise from fans, who admire her resilience and transparency, while also sparking conversations about the dangers of misinformation and the impact of public scrutiny on celebrities’ personal lives.
