Nollywood actor Richard Oguntimehin, widely known as Don Richard, has denied death rumours circulating online, sharing a video on Instagram where he dances and confirms he is alive. In the clip, he is seen moving to music, smiling and waving at fans, with the caption: "My fans and friends, I really appreciate you all. You all will not fall, I dey alive ooo. The bloggers should continue their bad posting, God will judge all of them, amen." The post directly responds to false reports of his death that spread widely and caused concern among followers. Don Richard referenced his ongoing health challenges, recalling a 2025 interview where he detailed a spinal cord injury that led to complications, including an enlarged bladder and kidney issues. He described the moment the pain began: "I had just anchored a show and was resting when, around 1:05 am, it felt like someone was nailing my spinal cord." Since then, he has stopped consuming alcohol and soft drinks, saying, "For two years now, I have stopped taking anything that has to do with alcohol. I don't take soft drinks. I only drink water." In the past, Don Richard appealed for N50 million to support treatment for his kidney condition, citing the severity of his health struggles.
Don Richard claims he is alive while also stating he has been unable to work due to a debilitating health condition requiring N50 million for treatment. The same man who says he is too ill to earn is now dancing vigorously in a video meant to prove he is not dead. Fans who donated based on his earlier plea for help may now question the authenticity of his condition. A man declaring bloggers will be judged by God for false posts has not explained the contradiction in his health claims.
