- Content creator Isbea U called out people mocking Ogogo’s stage-four cancer diagnosis over his political allegiance to President Tinubu
- Isbea U posted a strongly worded statement on X demanding that critics focus on supporting the veteran actor rather than blaming his choices
- The backlash followed a now-deleted post by comedian MC Lively, who appeared to link Ogogo’s cancer battle to his backing of Tinubu
Content creator Isbea U has spoken out forcefully against critics who are using veteran Nollywood actor Taiwo Hassan Ogogo’s cancer diagnosis as an opportunity to ridicule him for supporting President Bola Tinubu.
Ogogo, a beloved figure in Nigerian entertainment, is currently battling stage-four cancer, a diagnosis confirmed publicly by his daughters.

Taking to X, Isbea U condemned those turning the actor’s health crisis into a political talking point, writing:
“Ogogo has stage 4 cancer, if you don’t have any necessary information that can help him, then please just pray for him …. Enough of blaming it on him supporting Tinubu, Legend or Not, A human like us is fighting for his life for God sake.”
MC Lively’s Deleted Post Sparks Controversy
The content creator’s comment came in direct response to a post by comedian MC Lively, who has since deleted the comment.
In it, MC Lively quoted an old video of Ogogo publicly declaring his support for Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election, appearing to draw a connection between that endorsement and his current medical condition.
The post drew swift criticism before it was taken down, with Isbea U among the most vocal voices pushing back against what many saw as a callous reaction to a man’s life-threatening illness.
