Controversial relationship expert Blessing CEO and her partner, celebrity auto dealer IVD, deactivates their instagram accounts following a period of intense backlash over accusations of a fraudulent cancer fundraising scheme. On the evening of Sunday, April 5, 2026, it was confirmed that both had deactivated their Instagram accounts after explosive allegations claimed that Blessing CEO’s stage 4 cancer diagnosis was fake.
The crisis began when Blessing CEO announced her stage 4 cancer battle and solicited millions in donations for urgent treatment. However, the narrative shifted when social media investigators and a woman named Deborah Mbara accused her of falsifying medical records to pose as a cancer patient.
Facing widespread public outrage, Blessing CEO later recanted her stage 4 diagnosis in an interview, calling it a misunderstanding and clarifying that she is still awaiting an official staging. She also revealed that she had only raised about 13 million naira, far less than the rumored amounts.
Their social media deactivation comes amid reports that key donors, including businessman Alafaa Kariboye-Igbo (known as Oil Money), have demanded the return of their contributions. Many netizens view the account deletions as a strategy to dodge mounting demands for refunds and legal consequences.
Although Blessing CEO insists she owes no apologies and is focusing on her mental health, their sudden online disappearance indicates that the legal and social fallout from the “Renewed Hope” fundraiser is just beginning.
