While soliciting financial assistance from the public for treatment and breast amputation, Blessing said she has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.
Many Nigerians including celebrities took to the comment section to encourage her.
However reacting to the development, VeryDarkMan in a video shared on his Instagram page on Thursday, demanded a medical report from Blessing CEO to back up her claims.
“I just hope what Blessing CEO is saying is the truth. Because I hope it is not prank, clout chasing or something she wants to use to gather money because cancer is a very sensitive matter globally.
“Cancer is not something that someone should joke with because it has claimed many lives. And till tomorrow, there’s still no cure for it.
“I’m not convinced enough that Blessing CEO is saying the truth. Because you did not provide the report of the hospital that diagnosed you. You said a lot of resources has gone into your health. You did not put the receipt of the money you’ve been spending together for the public to see. You just came with emotional blackmail. Post the proof here,” he said.
