King Mitchy Management Withdraws Death Claim, Says Influencer Is Alive

Michelle Mukoro, the Nigerian influencer widely known as King Mitchy, is alive, according to a fresh statement from her management, which has now withdrawn an earlier public announcement that claimed she had died.

The reversal followed hours of confusion online after her team initially said she died at Prime Care Hospital in Abuja despite medical attempts to revive her. That claim spread quickly across social media and triggered emotional reactions from followers and other users.

In its latest update, her management said Mitchy is okay, effectively overturning the earlier death notice. The development has raised questions about how the first statement was issued and why conflicting information was released to the public.

The controversy came after a tense social media dispute involving Mitchy and activist VeryDarkMan over claims linked to her charity activities. Mitchy had said she renovated a school within six days and challenged VeryDarkMan over his management of public donations dating back to 2025.

As the disagreement intensified, VeryDarkMan alleged that Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, was financing Mitchy’s charitable projects. The allegation added a political layer to an already heated exchange and drew more attention to the issue.

Around the same period, Mitchy reportedly lost access to her business Instagram account, further deepening the public drama. Matters then worsened after she appeared in a troubling live video where she was seen consuming a substance viewers believed to be a bleach product commonly called “hypo.”

Following that video, her management announced her death and appealed for privacy for her family. However, Prime Care Hospital publicly denied any link to the claim, saying Mitchy was never admitted at the facility.

The hospital also warned that legal action could be taken against persons spreading false information connected to the case. That response directly contradicted the initial statement attributed to Mitchy’s management.

With the latest update now confirming she is alive, attention has shifted to accountability for the misinformation and the broader impact of unverified announcements in high-profile online disputes. The incident has again highlighted the speed at which false reports can circulate and the risk such claims pose to public trust, affected families and emergency response systems.
