The influencer, who had also called on the general public for financial help, had put her properties up for distress sale to raise money for chemotherapy treatment.
Despite this, some Nigerians remained sceptical about her claim, with the likes of social media critic VeryDarkMan asking Blessing to provide evidence of her diagnosis.
In a new video she shared on her Instagram page on Thursday, March 26, 2026, Blessing CEO addressed her critics, saying it shows many are ignorant.
According to the influencer, she is still living in denial even though she is getting ready to move to the hospital. She disclosed that she is scared of going to the hospital as she barely falls sick.
"To everyone saying my stage 4 cancer is a prank, it is not a prank. Some people are saying how did it jump to stage 4, it shows a lot of people are ignorant. Right now, I am still living in denial even though I am packing my bags to go to the hospital. I am scared because I don’t go to hospitals. I barely fall sick. Now people are saying I should blend vegetables together, I don’t eat vegetables," Blessing CEO said in the video.

Doctor points out inconsistencies in Blessing CEO's claim
Legit.ng also reported that a Nigerian doctor criticised relationship influencer Blessing CEO's emotional video appeal for donations toward a mastectomy.
Addressing the video, the doctor highlighted inconsistencies in Blessing's claim.
According to the doctor, stage 4 breast cancer means the cancer has spread beyond the breast to other distant organs like the liver, lungs, and brain.
He questioned the medical practitioner who told the influencer she would need to undergo surgery to confirm how far it has spread, when she already stated that she is battling with stage 4 cancer.
