Popular Nigerian Actress, Dayo Amusa, has denied reports that she’s HIV positive, reports thegazellenews.com.
Recall that a content creator, Olaoluwa Segun on Friday, 18 July, 2025 in a viral video named the actress among five Nigerian actors living with HIV.
Dayo Amusa, responding to the claim in a video on her Instagram page, explained that the content creator picked up a post she made in 2019.
While debunking the viral claim, the actress said she’s HIV negative, just as she also admitted to having made a post about her HIV status six years ago to educate the public.
She further threatened legal action against the content creator.
“I want to address a video that is trending across all social media platforms since the last 24 hours. A video posted by someone I don’t know, and people start to tag me in it.
“The video is related to a post I made in 2019 regarding my HIV status, which was negative. The purpose of that post was to educate people on the importance of knowing their HIV status. And even if, for any reason, you’re positive, it’s important to seek medical help and take the necessary steps. After all, it’s not the end of the world.
“It’s shocking that someone picked it and enlisted me with others, claiming we are HIV positive without any proper investigation. The post has attracted several comments and likes. I am not going to let this slide. I will make you a scapegoat,” she added.
