Regina Daniels vs Angela Okorie, Nigerian Celeb Drama Explodes: Regina Daniels Slams Angela Okorie Over “Insensitive” Mercy Johnson Comment In what has now become one of the most heated celebrity feuds of 2025, Nollywood actress and billionaire’s wife Regina Daniels has come out swinging against Angela Okorie, after the latter made controversial remarks about Mercy Johnson’s health that many fans and insiders are calling “reckless and disgraceful.”
The explosive war of words is rocking Nollywood’s A-list circles and dragging up old beefs, unspoken alliances, and whispered gossip about Mercy Johnson-Okojie’s ongoing health battles which, until now, were largely kept private.
The Trigger: What Did Angela Okorie Say?
During a recent live Instagram session, Angela Okorie hinted that “some actresses pretend to be strong when they’re seriously sick behind closed doors.” While she didn’t name names, fans quickly pointed fingers at Mercy Johnson, who’s been rumored to be managing an undisclosed health condition.
Angela went on to say:
“Fake strength doesn’t heal anybody. Keep lying to your followers. Let’s see how far it takes you.”
Her comments were widely interpreted as a jab at Mercy Johnson’s carefully curated public image of resilience and positivity especially after the actress posted cryptic messages about battling pain and undergoing treatments earlier this year.
