Blessing CEO, a social media influencer and relationship counsellor, has taken a strong stance in response to remarks posted online after news of actor Alexx Ekubo’s passing.
In a video posted online, the CEO of Blessing denounced social media users who likened her circumstances to the late actor’s, accusing certain Nigerians of stigmatising people when they were at their most vulnerable.
“I saw some people saying God take Blessing CEO and give us back Alexx. My God will punish you. You weee kpa! before me. Was it not the same Alexx Ekubo that you people said he was Agege? Was he not the one that his ex fiancée came out and told the would that he was g@y. You people know how to st!gm@tize people. If a photo of him in his vulnerable state had l£aked you people would have labeled him Agege,” she said.
In response to rumours about her health, the media personality stated that her fortitude has enabled her to endure public scrutiny.
“Some people are making it look like I had health issues. The reason why I’m still here is because I have a tough skin,” she stated.
She claims that the late star may have concealed his illness from the public out of concern for harsh criticism and internet mockery.
“What happened to Alexx Ekubo wasn’t privacy; it was sh@me. He knew that if he came out you guys are going to !nsult and v!CT!mize him, so his family protected him,” she added.
The CEO of Blessing also discussed how people view serious illnesses, especially cancer, and how bodily changes frequently result in presumptions and internet conjecture.
“And you know when you’re going through c@nc£r you start to shr!nk. People will label you that you have H!**V. That is why I have refused to shr!nk for you people. They keep asking where’s your bl@ck hand, what do you want the bl@ck hand for. You just want to confirm that I am suff£r!ng….” she said.
