Popular food influencer Nara Aziza Smith revealed her 2-year-old daughter, Whimsy-Lou, has metastatic cancer.

In a video, the model and mother-of-four said Whimsy-Lou was diagnosed late last year. Nara and her husband Lucky Blue Smith spotted “something suspicious” and took Whimsy-Lou to a doctor.

Tests confirmed the toddler had metastatic cancer that spread to other parts of her body.

“After a lot of X-rays, ultrasounds and a biopsy they immediately called us and said she had cancer,” Nara said in a video that was viewed over 25 million times.

“They told us it had spread and that she needs to come and start chemo treatment immediately.”
