A well-known Nollywood actor has addressed rumours reportedly circulated online that he had died, by cursing the person behind the gossip.
Speaking on Instagram Kanayo O Kanayo warned: “You will not live past the next seven days. You’ve got the wrong guy.”
He said before people start rumours about famous people, they should think about the impact on their families.
“Do most people think that Nollywood actors or entertainers or popular people don’t have families? What kind of life do they think we live? Somebody wakes up, compiles three, four, five pictures, and puts RIP,” he said.
“My life has never been in anybody’s hand. I want to thank all friends who have called since morning. I don’t even have fever,” he continued.
He concluded the video by thanking fans for their kindness.
Kanayo O Kanayo is a veteran in the industry and has featured in hundreds of movies over 30 years, according to Nigeria’s Pulse news website.
