Yeni Kuti, the first child of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, has weighed in on the ongoing controversy surrounding Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO. The relationship expert recently shared a fresh cancer test result and a video of herself undergoing a medical test, which led to allegations of dishonesty from fans with medical knowledge who pointed out irregularities.
Yeni Kuti's Defense of Blessing CEO
Reacting on the morning programme Your View on Television Continental, Yeni Kuti stated that she refused to believe Blessing CEO was lying. She maintained from the beginning that she does not think a person could be that bad. Kuti noted that Christians often claim strength even when dealing with illness, and a co-host described such statements as affirmations. Kuti replied that if it were not true, the words would not have power over someone's life.
Kuti went on to say she prayed that Blessing CEO would truly have cancer so that people could pray for her and she would be healed. She asked her co-host whether they would not pray for a sick friend if they had one.

Some agreed with Tope, one of the show's hosts, who said Blessing CEO's case was not worth discussing given other pressing national issues. Others joked about Kuti's remark, especially her comment about affirmation. Some users also suggested that Blessing CEO might actually be sick, given the ongoing drama surrounding her on social media.
