Controversial media personality Blessing CEO has spoken out on the passing of Nollywood actor Alex Ekubo, offering a stark condemnation of the disease that claimed his life. The self-styled relationship expert, who has herself been embroiled in a heated dispute over her own health claims, took to social media to express her dismay.
According to reports, the actor succumbed to stage 4 liver cancer at a medical facility in Lagos on Monday. In her Instagram tribute, Blessing CEO posted a photo of Ekubo alongside a caption that read, “God will punish cancer. We waited for you to show up. You fought silently. Rest in peace.” Her words seemed to echo her earlier assertions about battling the same illness.
Back in March 2026, Blessing CEO had publicly appealed for financial assistance to undergo chemotherapy, alleging she was fighting stage 4 breast cancer. However, the Nigerian Medical Association’s Delta State chapter contested her claim, accusing her of tampering with a medical report from Xinus Medical Diagnostics. The report in question had been authorized by Dr. O.A. Odigwe, a consultant pathologist.
The controversy deepened when social media influencer VeryDarkMan petitioned the Inspector-General of Police to launch an investigation into Blessing CEO’s actions, a request that was eventually granted. Despite the backlash, Blessing CEO has now used the tragedy of Ekubo’s death to reiterate her stance against cancer, adding a new layer to the ongoing saga.
