Be-Okojie, has addressed and dismissed the rumors claiming she is battling cancer. The speculations started after a clip from her show began trending online, leading many to worry about her health due to her noticeable weight loss.

Mercy took to social media to clear the air, explaining that the clip from her cooking show, Mercy’s Menu, was misunderstood and taken out of context.

In the video she posted, the actress expressed appreciation for the love and concern from fans:

“Hi guys first and foremost thank you for all the calls and messages and prayers. Thank you and I do appreciate it so much but I do not have cancer. I noticed that a clip from my TV show Mercys Menu has been round and they cut the clip.”

She went on to explain that the misunderstanding came from an episode where she mentioned having a “cancer scare,” not an actual diagnosis.

“I said I had a cancer scare, meaning that I had the swelling on my neck, you can see the line there. My doctor thought it was something serious and I had something with my thyroid but I am perfectly okay.”

Reassuring her fans once again, Mercy added:

“Thank you so much for your calls and messages, my phone has been buzzing like crazy. I am perfectly fine and I do not have cancer. I am perfectly okay, so thank you for checking up on me and sending all those messages. Please go back and watch the clip. It was completely misunderstood and I am fine. I do not have cancer in Jesus name.”

For a while now, fans have been asking about her weight loss. Mercy had earlier explained that her new look is a result of a non-surgical weight loss program she’s been promoting—not illness.

Hmmm

It's her that even have their time to explain. If I have cancer na them mama go take care of me abi? Nigerians sef.

Nigerian bloggers 😂

I prefer the old version of Mercy

You look pretty and younger with this look than before

A scare is different from the real thing. However in a country like this, when you mention the word cancer at all, that's what they would pick up.

She should have just said, I had thyroid issues. Simple

She looks good in the video. Keep being you jare, Nigerians too like shoshosho

Blockers, sorry bloggers, Gosh,Wata Bam Bam

God will heal you whatever the case may be

God bless one of the finest actress

Who else missed that Fluffy and Mercy J. of yesteryears'?

She had cancer of thyroid.
She removed her thyroid. Thyrodectomy
So technically she doesn't have cancer now.
But she had it before the thyrodectomy surgery.

Mercy been a smart igbo woman she had to mention it on her cooking show to generate buzz.

Then hungry bloggers now took over making ut viral
She even tells her fans to go back and watch that episode of her cooking show and mentions it couple times.

All na promotion strategy
And i have to say I'm impressed
Igbo women sabi marketing

But the curvy Mercy we used to know now looks like "Prof Mgbeke" of Natasha movie

Joblessness is in this country is high, this is why youths channel their energy to frivolities

People shouldn't joke with all these

This woman sha want still sell her slimming tea. Or the brand threatened to sue her, that's why she's debunking it

That one concern you.

God will heal her totally....🙏

Good

Well , either rumor or not , thank God she's perfectly fine

Y'all should keep messing around with Ozempic and the other new magic pills...!
