Nollywood veteran Don Richard has dismissed widespread claims suggesting he is dead, describing the reports as completely false.
The rumours, which surfaced on Thursday, April 23, 2026, alleged that the actor had passed on following a prolonged struggle with kidney failure, causing panic among fans online.
Responding a day later through his Instagram page, Don Richard reassured the public that he is alive and in good condition, while expressing gratitude for the concern shown.
“There’s nothing wrong with me, I appreciate my fans for the love and concern. I’m alive, hale and hearty. I dey alive ooo, the bloggers should continue their bad posting, God will judge them amen,” he said.
Recall that in July 2025, the actor had cried out for financial assistance after selling his house and vehicles to cope with the cost of treating his kidney-related illness.
