Mercy Johnson speaks on cancer rumors

A video shared on X features Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson addressing rumors about her health, specifically denying claims that she is battling cancer.

The clip which has gone viral, comes in response to a circulating video that suggested otherwise, causing concern among fans and the public. Mercy’s statement, delivered with clarity and emotion, aims to set the record straight and reassure her audience.

In the video, Mercy begins by thanking those who reached out with messages and prayers, acknowledging their concern. “Thank you so much for all of you who have been calling in and sending messages and prayers,” she says, her tone appreciative. She then directly addresses the rumor, stating, “I do not have cancer,” a declaration that cuts through the speculation. She explains that a clip from her TV show, Mercy’s Menu, was misunderstood, where she mentioned a “cancer scare” due to a swelling on her neck, which her doctor initially thought might be serious. “I had this swelling on my neck and my doctor felt it was something serious,” she clarifies, attributing it to thyroid issues rather than cancer.

Mercy emphasizes her current health, repeating, “I am perfectly fine,” and expressing gratitude for the support she received. “Thank you so much for checking up on me, thank you for all the messages,” she adds, her words a mix of relief and appreciation. She urges viewers to revisit the original clip to understand the context, stating, “Go back and watch the clip, it was completely misunderstood.” Her final message is one of reassurance, as she concludes, “I do not have cancer in Jesus’ name, thank you guys so much, bye.”

Online reactions have been overwhelmingly supportive, with fans expressing relief and admiration for her transparency.
