Mercy Johnson Clears the Air After Health Rumors Spark Concern
Mercy Johnson-Okojie has stepped forward to put minds at ease following a wave of concern sparked by an old video that resurfaced online. In the clip, the actress shared a personal story about a health scare during a chat with fellow screen legend, Joke Silva, on her show Mercy’s Menu.
In the conversation, Mercy spoke candidly about a moment doctors feared a growth on her thyroid might be cancerous—an experience that led to a surgery to remove it. But while she clearly mentioned it was only a scare, the snippet made rounds without the full context, leaving many fans anxious and assuming the worst.
Shortly after the clip began to trend, messages of love and prayers poured in from worried supporters. Mercy, never one to leave her fans hanging, quickly took to Instagram with a heartfelt update.
“I truly appreciate everyone who reached out,” she said in a calm, reassuring video. “But I need to clear things up—I do not have cancer. What I had was a scare. There was swelling in my neck, and the doctors were being cautious. Thankfully, it turned out not to be what we feared.”
She even pointed out the faint surgical line on her neck as she explained the situation, but emphasized that she’s healthy and doing just fine.
So, if you were among those concerned, you can breathe a little easier—Mercy’s okay, and she’s grateful for the love.
