• Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson’s weight loss has continued to strengthen the rumours about her having cancer
• However, a video has resurfaced online where the actress and politician’s wife addressed the cancer allegations
• Mercy Johnson’s reactions to the rumours about her having cancer raised mixed feelings after the old video reemerged

Nigerian actress Mercy Johnson’s old video has resurfaced online amid the cancer rumours trailing her over her recent weight loss.

Recall that the formerly curvy movie star left many netizens worried and asking questions after she debuted her new skinny appearance. Mercy Johnson did this while advertising some products for sale on social media.

However, netizens were concerned about her health and dug up an old video where she spoke about the health scare she had, particularly cancer.

Not long after, another video from 2023 also resurfaced where Mercy Johnson addressed the cancer rumours. The mum of four shut down the claims of her being down with the disease.

In the throwback video, Mercy Johnson claimed that her words in another video were misinterpreted and that she only had a cancer scare. She said:

“Hi guys, Okay so first and foremost, thank you so much for all of you who have been calling and sending messages and prayers, thank you I do appreciate it so much. But, I do not have cancer. I noticed that a clip from my TV show, Mercy’s Menu, has been flying around and I think they cut the clip. I said I had a cancer scare, it means that I had this swelling on my neck and my doctors felt it was something serious. I had problems with my thyroid, I am perfectly okay. Thank you so much for all of your calls and your messages, the phone has been buzzing like crazy, I am perfectly fine and I do not have cancer. I am perfectly okay. So thank you so much for checking up on me, thank you for sending those messages. Go back and watch the clip, it was completely misunderstood, I am fine, I do not have cancer in Jesus name, thank you guys so much.”
