Yeni Kuti, the eldest daughter of Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, has joined the ongoing public discussion surrounding social media personality Blessing CEO, whose recent cancer-related claims have stirred controversy online.
The drama began after Blessing CEO, also known as Blessing Okoro, shared a video showing her undergoing a medical test along with what she described as a cancer test result. The post quickly went viral, but it also triggered skepticism from some social media users who questioned the authenticity of the results, pointing out what they believed were inconsistencies in the video and documents shared.
Speaking during a discussion on Your View, a morning programme on Television Continental (TVC), Yeni Kuti expressed doubt about the accusations against Blessing CEO. She said she found it difficult to believe that the influencer could be dishonest in such a situation, adding that she does not easily assume the worst about people.
Kuti further reflected on how people, especially Christians, sometimes declare strength and positivity even when dealing with serious health challenges. In response to a co-host’s explanation that such statements could be seen as affirmations, she agreed, noting that spoken words are often believed to carry influence over a person’s life circumstances.
She also added that she would rather hope Blessing CEO is genuinely unwell so that people can pray for her recovery, emphasizing that support and prayers are important when someone is facing illness. She questioned whether people would not do the same for a friend in need.
Her comments, however, sparked mixed reactions online. While some viewers found her perspective humorous or thought-provoking, others agreed with a co-host who suggested that the matter was being over-discussed, especially given more pressing national concerns.
Meanwhile, social media users remain divided on the issue. Some continue to question Blessing CEO’s claims, while others believe she may indeed be going through a health challenge and deserves empathy rather than criticism.
The conversation continues to generate debate across platforms, reflecting the wider sensitivity around health disclosures and public trust in online content.
