Cancer Is Not Content - Uriel Oputa Blows Hot After Blessing CEO Claimed She's Been Diagnosed With "Stage 4"

Big Brother Naija star, Uriel Oputa has spoken out against using cancer-related claims as a means to generate content.

The reality TV star took to Instagram to state that cancer is serious. She added that her mother suffered breast cancer and it is not something to joke about.

Though she did not call names, her post comes after content creator Blessing Okoro, aka Blessing CEO, cried out online that she has been diagnosed with "stage 4". She shared a video showing her loosening her braids, with some hair strands coming off.

Many reacted, accusing Blessing of chasing clout with cancer. They stated that the hair coming off is kinky attachment, not her real hair. Others asked "stage 4" what she has been diagnosed with, while some suggested she was diagnosed with "stage 4 clout chasing".

Others said prayers for her and urged her to ensure she was not making false claims.

Speaking on the topic of cancer, Uriel wrote: "I CANT BELIEVE WE'RE ACTUALLY PLAYING AROUND WITH SOMETHING LIKE CANCER.

"ALL I SAW WAS STAGE 4- NO DEFINITION NO CLARITY. NOTHING EXPLAINED JUST THROWN OUT THERE SO LOOSELY THERE WASN'T EVEN CANCER WRITTEN JUST-STAGE 4 AND EVEN WITH THAT.
