Don Richard Death Rumours: Veteran Nollywood Actor Speaks Out, “I’m Alive and Well”

Panic swept across social media after reports claimed veteran Nollywood actor Don Richard had died — but the actor has now come forward to set the record straight.

The widely circulated claims alleged that the actor passed away on April 23, 2026, following a prolonged battle with kidney disease. The reports quickly gained traction, sparking concern among fans and industry colleagues.

However, Don Richard has dismissed the rumours as false. In a video shared on his Instagram page, the veteran actor reassured supporters that he is alive and in good health.

“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.

His response has helped calm fears, though it also highlights the growing problem of misinformation surrounding celebrities, especially on social media platforms where unverified reports often spread rapidly.

The actor’s health has been a subject of public attention in recent years. In July 2025, he made an emotional appeal for financial support after revealing that he had sold his house and cars while battling kidney disease.

That earlier revelation had drawn sympathy and support from fans, making the recent death rumours even more alarming when they surfaced online.

Despite the false reports, Don Richard’s latest appearance confirms he remains active, as supporters continue to send messages of relief and encouragement following his clarification.
