Recall that Blessing CEO deactivated her Instagram account weeks ago following public outrage and calls for her arrest.
Yesterday, April 21, 2026, Legit.ng reported that the self-acclaimed relationship expert reactivated her Instagram page and quickly wiped every video about cancer from her profile.
Hours after her quiet return, Blessing CEO released a new video and caption begging for public forgiveness.
She expressed deep regret to her followers for the unnecessary drama and embarrassment surrounding her health issues.
The controversial influencer insisted that her illness was entirely real and begged the general public to bear with her.
"Please be patient with me, I did not lie about my health issues," she told her fans.
Moving forward, Blessing CEO said she plans to document her medical journey just like her previous liposuction and BBL recovery.
To prove her controversial claims, she promised to officially upload her scan results and biopsy reports soon.
Blessing also addressed the well-meaning donors who contributed money for her treatment, offering clear instructions for anyone who wants to get all their funds back.
She told them to send a direct message with their payment receipt.
"Send us a WhatsApp message or DM, attaching your receipt and account number, you get a refund."
