Nollywood superstar Mercy Johnson-Okojie has finally responded to the recent public stir caused by her dramatic weight loss, which has been the subject of intense discussion across social media platforms.

In a video she shared online, the beloved actress addressed the backlash, emphasising her acceptance of public scrutiny and her decision to remain unbothered by negative commentary.

In the now-viral clip, Mercy Johnson appeared calm and upbeat, choosing a lighthearted tone to tackle the buzz surrounding her new appearance.

She admitted that she fully understands why people are talking, especially when something out of the ordinary catches their attention. “I understand people will talk when they see something strange, and they will also talk even when they don’t see anything strange,” she said with a smile.

The actress, known for her versatility and emotional depth on screen, made it clear that she is not shaken by the noise around her transformation. “Let people talk whatever they want to talk,” she added.

Social media had been awash with mixed reactions since Mercy Johnson’s new physique surfaced online.

While some fans praised her dedication and admired her slimmer figure, others speculated about her health, with a few even questioning whether she had undergone surgery or was ill.

The speculation was further fueled by her silence—until now.

In her video, Johnson refrained from directly addressing the health rumors or the specific cause of her weight loss. Instead, she chose to focus on the broader issue of public perception and the often impossible standards celebrities are held to.

“Whether you do something or not, people will always find something to say,” she noted.

She also used the opportunity to remind her fans and followers about the importance of self-confidence and inner peace. “What matters most is how you feel about yourself. Once you are happy, healthy, and at peace, that’s enough,” she said.

Despite the online scrutiny, the mother of four continues to engage with her audience through her social media platforms.

Her recent posts have included behind-the-scenes footage of new projects, family moments, and her usual humorous skits, demonstrating that she remains committed to her career and personal brand.

Senator Ned Nwoko’s Moroccan wife, Laila Charani, has accused her co-wife, Regina Daniels, of introducing her to illicit drugs.

She made the allegation in a recent post on Instagram after Daniels claimed that her husband’s other wives were also into drugs.

Charani claimed that it was her husband’s quick intervention that saved her from losing her marriage after Regina Daniels introduced her to drug addiction.

She also claimed that the only reason Regina Daniels is fighting with their husband is because he wants her to stop drug and alcohol addiction, stressing that the lawmaker doesn’t smoke nor take alcohol.

Charani further accused Regina Daniels of lesbianism, claiming that she sleeps with girls.

“You know too well that I almost lost my marriage when you introduced me to drugs 6 years ago and it was my husband’s quick insistence on intervention that rescued me from that dark path.

“You have been a bad influence since you married into this beautiful family giving drugs to nannies and our workers, including your younger sister Destiny.

“You infested everyone with your virus and this is why I will not trust my daughters around you unsupervised especially when I found out that you were sleeping with every single girl around you,” she wrote.

Charani urged Regina Daniels to seek psychological help and leave Ned Nwoko’s other wives out the her scandal with their husband.

Regina Daniels is yet to react to Charani’s allegations.

Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has sparked controversy after he ordered a couple out of his concert in Denver, United States, on Wednesday night, for allegedly sleeping midway into his performance.

The drama began when the singer paused his set and asked a male fan to take his girlfriend “home” for sleeping during his performance.

“When I stand up here [on the stage] and see you over there with your girl sleeping in the front of me, it pisses me the f**k up. So, please, take her the f**k home… Walahi I’m not performing another song till you go home,” Burna Boy fumed.

At first, the couple, especially the lady, was reluctant, but eventually left after the crowd started demanding they leave as Burna Boy vowed not to perform another song until their exit.

Burna Boy resumed his performance after the couple left the concert.

His action has sparked mixed reactions, with many berating him for kicking ticket holders out of his concert.

Recall that Burna Boy previously made similar headlines after he kicked a starstruck male fan who stormed the stage to hug him while he was performing.

He also once asked a fan to leave his concert for not dancing while he was performing.

The singer has earned a reputation for controversially kicking fans out of his concert for trivial reasons.
