Nivea Reveals She’s Been Diagnosed With Leukemia; “I’ve Been Going Through Treatment, And Everything Is Going Great So Far.”

Nivea is opening up with a deeply personal health update to fans after revealing that she was diagnosed with leukemia earlier this year!

During a recent appearance on Cadillac Chronicles, the 44 year old opened up about her journey, sharing that she has been undergoing treatment while remaining hopeful and grounded in her faith.

“First of all, I was diagnosed with leukemia earlier this year, and I’m so grateful to God,” said Nivea while reflecting on what she’s most grateful for. “I’ve been going through treatment, and everything is going great so far. And I expect it to continue. Amen, amen, amen.”

She added, “It’s so cliche to say you don’t know the time nor the hour, but it’s true and everything is going great so far. And I expect it to continue. Amen, amen, amen.”

According to PEOPLE, a rep for Nivea shared in a forwarded statement that she’s been diagnosed with cancer identified as Chronic Myeloid Leukemia.

“I was diagnosed with CML in early 2026,” she says. “As incredibly surprised as I was to have the diagnosis confirmed after [two] (because the [first] one wasn’t successful), bone marrow biopsy procedures, I was profoundly thankful that it wasn’t Blast [blastoma]. Which would have meant chemotherapy as part of the treatment.”

She added,“Also learning CML isn’t hereditary nor something ‘I did’ to cause it, was a relief yet still a bit puzzling.. Life for me has changed in various ways but treatment thus far is working. 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.” 

“A tremendous thank you to everyone for the love [and] prayers,” Nivea tells PEOPLE.

According to the American Cancer website, Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a type of cancer that starts in certain blood-forming cells of the bone marrow (the soft, spongy tissue in the middle of certain bones). 

Noir Nation, we’re sending Nivea love, strength, and prayers as she continues her treatment and recovery journey.
