"I Do Not Have Cancer" – Blessing CEO Admits Faking Diagnosis For Donations

Controversial relationship coach and social media personality Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, has openly admitted to faking a cancer diagnosis to solicit financial donations from the public.

She made the confession during a recent interview with social media activist Martins Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan.

The relationship coach revealed that she fabricated the illness because she was under intense pressure and feared public embarrassment, leading her to look for a stunt to pull. Blessing CEO stated that she went for a medical check-up a few months prior where doctors discovered a lump in her breast but confirmed it was not cancerous.

The controversial media personality explained that she played an emotional game by pretending she wanted to sell her personal belongings, including her car and house, before eventually putting out her account number for donations. She admitted she was excited and honoured as funds started rolling in.

Blessing CEO noted that the donations abruptly stopped after VeryDarkMan released a video questioning her claims and demanding evidence.

She said:
"The pressure was too much, so what did I do? That was where the cancer drama came in and because of the pressure, I saw this embarrassment coming, then I said to myself, what stunt can I pull?"

"I pulled off the cancer. I don’t have cancer. Honestly, I do not have cancer."

"I played an emotional game. I wanted funds, but I didn’t come out directly to ask for funds. I first of all started by pretending like I wanted to sell my personal belongings, my car, my house."

"So that was when I put out my account number. The donation was rolling in. I was excited. One thousand, two thousand, three hundred, five hundred. I was honoured."

"When I saw the video he made. The donation stopped. Donation paused."

"So I’m like, oh, what do I do? What do I do? So that was where the whole orchestration and all that stuff came up. I’m not proud of what I did."

Recall that Blessing CEO lost her nine-year-old son, Bryan, who died on June 8, 2026, while she was in custody at the Kirikiri Correctional Centre, Lagos, over separate fraud allegations.

Since her release from prison, Blessing CEO has expressed grief over her son's death, while trying to turn a new leaf.
