Singer Nivea Says Her Cancer Is in Remission During Health Update

After learning about the drug’s success rate with other patients, the “Complicated” singer—who shares daughter Navy Nash, 21, and 20-year-old twins London Nash and Christian Nash with ex The-Dream, as well as son Neal Carter, 16, with ex Lil Wayne—was willing to take the leap.

“It’s been an adjustment, like the symptoms,” she began, “I’m tired a lot. I have other issues. I’m bleeding. I have fibroids. It’s a long little list.”

However, she is grateful for this next chapter in her life, emphasizing, “I’m still on the better side than most. I’m not complaining at all.”

Nivea shared her cancer diagnosis in July, confirming that her treatment would not include chemotherapy since it was not a blastoma.

“Life for me has changed in various ways, but treatment thus far is working,” she said in a statement to People. “Taking it day by day with a positive mindset [and] a heart full of gratitude! I’m blessed with the ability to still do what I love—music, continue to mother my children, and learn new skills that fuel me!”

“I am and have been very blessed in this life and won’t ever take it for granted,” she concluded. “A tremendous thank you to everyone for the love [and] prayers.”
