A stage three cancer survivor, Princess Adetutu Adenike Koleosho, has condemned Blessing CEO over her claim of battling stage four breast cancer, a stunt that went viral on social media and attracted widespread outrage.

Princess Adetutu, in a video shared on her Instagram page and now circulating online, explained that she felt deeply insulted by the incident, describing it as a mockery of the pain and struggles faced by real cancer patients.
She narrated how she had to undergo a double mastectomy and continues to live with the heavy burden of treatment and post-treatment expenses.
“It is a slap on our faces as cancer warriors that somebody will just wake up and then feel like our own pain is what she can make a joke out of.”
She emphasised that the Nigerian Cancer Society should file a petition against Blessing CEO, warning that such false claims could discourage genuine patients from seeking help and support.
According to Adetutu, many Nigerians already present late for treatment, and stunts like this only worsen the stigma and fear surrounding cancer.
“I am of the opinion that the Nigerian cancer body needs to file a petition against her because this is something that we are losing people daily, because they are presenting late.”
Adetutu went further to explain the financial strain of cancer treatment, noting that scans and post-treatment care cost hundreds of thousands of naira yearly.
She explained that patients often rely on donations to survive, and misleading claims like Blessing CEO’s could make people reluctant to help those truly in need.
“Tell me somebody that’s giving you money for chemotherapy, radiotherapy, a few sessions of vitamin C infusion and all of that, and then you still come back and say you need 1.3 million or 1.5 million for a PET scan. Our scan is not something you just do once and it ends.”
She concluded by urging society to show empathy, encourage early detection, and support cancer patients rather than making a mockery of their struggles.
