I Don’t Have HIV – Dayo Amusa Breaks Silence On Shocking Rumour

Nollywood actress Dayo Amusa has firmly denied claims made in a viral video alleging she is among Nigerian celebrities living with HIV.

The actress responded after a content creator, Olaoluwa Segun, posted a video online in which he falsely named five actors, including Amusa and Hanks Anuku, as HIV-positive.

Taking to Instagram, Amusa expressed her shock and dismay at being listed in such a defamatory video. She clarified that she is HIV-negative and condemned the misinformation.

She recalled a 2019 post she made to raise awareness about HIV, encouraging people to know their status and seek help when needed. Unfortunately, she said, that post was taken out of context and misused by Segun, who failed to verify the facts before twisting her message.

Amusa demanded proof of the supposed hospital or lab results that Segun based his claim on and warned against the dangers of spreading baseless accusations.

“I won’t let this slide,” she stated. “You’ll be made an example. Not because I enjoy it, but to send a strong message to careless content creators and bloggers: verify before publishing damaging content.”

Following the backlash, Segun issued a public apology, admitting that his claims were false. He acknowledged that while Amusa had once spoken about HIV awareness, she never said she was positive.

He took full responsibility, confirmed the video had been deleted, and promised to verify information more thoroughly going forward.
