Nivea says she was diagnosed with leukaemia earlier this year and has been going through treatment, but the singer says the early results have been encouraging. She said everything is going great so far and that she expects it to keep going that way.
The update matters now because she spoke publicly about the diagnosis earlier this week on Cadillac Chronicles with Brian Freeman, giving fans the first clear look at what has been happening behind the scenes. Nivea is 44, and the disclosure puts a health matter that had not been widely detailed back into the spotlight.
She said the diagnosis forced her to rethink what matters most. In her words, it put a lot of things in perspective and pushed her toward gratitude, which she said she now lives in religiously. The singer also said she is not stepping back from her life or her work. She said she is back into her music and going to school for audio engineering, with a particular interest in mixing engineering.
What she did not spell out is just as important. Nivea did not say what type of leukaemia she has, leaving one basic medical detail unanswered even as she described treatment as going well. That gap leaves the story centered on what she chose to share: the diagnosis, the response, and the refusal to let it halt her plans.
She said she is loving on her children and taking every opportunity that comes her way, a line that carries more weight now because she has three children with The-Dream and one son with Lil Wayne. For Nivea, the next chapter is not about retreat. It is about continuing treatment, keeping her music moving, and holding on to the perspective she says the illness gave her.
