being paid to make people believe in the
existence of COVID-19 in Nigeria.
The movie star had on Sunday revealed she
had taken the test for the virus, recounting
the pains she went through during the
process.
This had come a day after Omotola Jalade-
Ekeinde, a fellow actress, announced she had
contracted the virus and is currently
undergoing treatment.

But shortly after Henshaw made the post, a
follower had taken to the comment section
to play down her statement.
She added that the follower had accused her
and other celebrities of collecting money just
to prove the existence of the virus in Nigeria.
“Someone commented on my IG saying ‘all
these celebrities that have been paid to say
there is COVID-19, God will judge you,” she
wrote on Twitter.

The 49-year-old actress explained that she
had to contain her rage, nothing she felt like
laying curses on the follower for the remark.
“If I land am better curse now shay they will
say Kate has started again inside blogs. I just
blocked the person and moved on. COVID-19
is real!!” she added in a mixture of English
and Pidgin.
Several Nigerian celebrities, including Davido
and Peter Okoye , had previously shared their
COVID-19 test results and experiences with
the novel disease on social media.
