Uriel Oputa noted that if the claim was true, she sympathised with Blessing CEO, but if it was false, then it was unacceptable to play with such a sensitive issue.
"I can't believe we're actually playing around with something like cancer. All I saw was 'stage 4.' No definition, no clarity, nothing explained, just thrown out there so loosely. There wasn’t even cancer written. Just 'stage 4.' And even with that, if this is true, then my heart genuinely goes out to you. But if this is not true… then this is actually disturbing."
Uriel added that she took the matter personally because her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer last year.
She emphasised that cancer should never be treated as content for clicks or attention.
"Cancer is Not Content. I swear I don’t rate some of our celebrities. This hit home, because my mother is actually battling this. Thank God we caught it early. If it’s true, God is your strength. Also if it’s true, please start removing sugar from your diet."
