R&B singer Montell Jordan says he is cancer-free after what he called a “roller coaster” battle with a second diagnosis.
The 56-year-old artist shared the update in a heartfelt message to fans this week. He described months of uncertainty, prayer and treatment. Jordan said doctors recently confirmed there is no evidence of disease.
“I’m officially cancer-free,” Jordan said in a video posted to social media. “It has been a roller coaster, but God has been faithful through every single turn.”
Jordan first revealed his health struggles several years ago. He previously battled prostate cancer and underwent treatment. He later learned the cancer had returned, prompting another round of medical care.
“This second diagnosis hit differently,” he said. “You think you’ve already fought the hardest fight. Then you find out you have to lace up your gloves again.”
A Second Fight
Jordan said he experienced a mix of fear and determination when he received the news. He credited early detection and an aggressive treatment plan for his recovery.
“My doctors were proactive,” he said. “They mapped out a plan immediately, and I trusted them.”
He said faith also played a central role in his healing. Jordan became a worship leader after stepping back from mainstream music. He has often spoken publicly about his spiritual journey.
“There were days I felt strong, and days I felt exhausted,” he said. “But I never felt alone.”
Jordan rose to fame in 1995 with the chart-topping hit This Is How We Do It. The song became a defining anthem of the decade. It topped the Billboard Hot 100 for seven weeks.
In recent years, Jordan has balanced music, ministry and motivational speaking. He frequently shares messages about health awareness, especially for Black men.
“Brothers, go get checked,” he said. “Don’t wait. Early detection saved my life.”
Health experts have long warned that prostate cancer disproportionately affects Black men. Jordan said he hopes his story encourages others to prioritize screenings.
“I want my testimony to be a reminder,” he said. “Your health is not something to gamble with.”
Gratitude and Moving Forward
Jordan said his family provided steady support throughout treatment. He described their encouragement as a source of strength.
“My wife and kids were my rock,” he said. “They prayed with me, cried with me and believed with me.”
He also thanked fans for their prayers and messages. He said their outreach helped him remain hopeful.
“I felt the love from all over the world,” he said. “That kind of support lifts you when you can’t lift yourself.”
Jordan said he plans to continue sharing updates about his health journey. He hopes to use his platform to advocate for cancer awareness and faith.
“This wasn’t just about surviving,” he said. “It was about trusting the process and trusting God.”
For now, Jordan said he is focused on recovery and gratitude.
“I’m thankful for every breath,” he said. “This chapter could have ended differently. Instead, it’s a new beginning.”
