Montell Jordan Reveals Prostate Cancer Has Returned, Spread To Lymph Nodes

Singer Montell Jordan, the voice behind the 1995 hit, “This Is How We Do It,” recently announced his prostate cancer has returned. On Wednesday (Sept.3), Jordan sat down with the Today show to share the devastating news.

In 2024, Jordan was diagnosed with prostate cancer, and despite having his prostate removed, the singer tells the outlet that his cancer has not only returned but also spread. “I always imagined I would be telling my prostate cancer story from the other side of prostate cancer because I had a radical prostatectomy surgery,” Jordan tells Today. “My prostate was removed. There were clear margins.”

“I’m trying to give a template for people that get diagnosed with this,” Jordan says

“Close to a year post-prostatectomy, I still need to go back and have additional treatments because it’s [been] detected that there is still cancer,” Jordan continued. In an effort to combat the cancer, the singer will undergo a “targeted radiation” treatment program. The gold would be to treat his lymph nodes as well as “take home blockers that stop the growth of the cancer.”

“It is a seven-and-a-half week interruption of life to make sure that I have a longer life,” he added. The singer also told Today that he plans to document his cancer journey with a documentary in collaboration with nonprofit organization Zero Prostate Cancer. The project is set to be released next year.

“I’m trying to give a template for people that get diagnosed with this to … know they have options available to them,” Jordan noted when asked about the forthcoming film. “It’s okay to cry…It’s okay to shake your fist at God…It’s okay to navigate and do what you need to do, but doing nothing is not an option. I never knew there was such a thing as being a two-time cancer survivor, so that’s the journey that I’m on right now.”
