Montell Jordan delivered a sobering health update during an appearance on NBC’s TODAY, revealing that cancer has returned and spread to his lymph nodes nearly a year after undergoing prostate removal surgery.
The 55-year-old singer, best known for his 1995 Hip-Hop anthem “This Is How We Do It,” first learned of his diagnosis in early 2024. Jordan credited routine checkups and a long-standing relationship with his doctor for catching the disease early. Montell Jordan emphasized the importance of early detection, saying, “Early detection is the thing that allows me to have a choice to treat it and live and to continue giving myself the best quality of life possible.”
Now facing a new phase in his medical journey, the artist will begin a seven-and-a-half-week course of targeted radiation. He’ll also take hormone blockers to slow the cancer’s progression. Jordan’s last surgery was nearly a year ago, and his next round of treatment is expected to begin in the coming weeks.
