The cancer ended up being upgraded to stage 2 after a biopsy that deemed it &#8216;aggressive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Early detection is the thing that allows me to have a choice to treat [my cancer] and live and to continue giving myself the best quality of life possible,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Jordan will be documenting his cancer journey in the documentary (that\u2019s made in partnership with the nonprofit organization Zero Prostate Cancer) <em>Sustain<\/em>, that is set to come out next year. As for what it\u2019s about, Jordan gave some initial details.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I\u2019m trying to give a template for people that get diagnosed with this to &#8230; know they have options available to them,\u201d he explained. &#8220;It\u2019s okay to cry. It\u2019s okay to shake your fist at God. It\u2019s okay to navigate and do what you need to do, but doing nothing is not an option,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I never knew there was such a thing as being a two-time cancer survivor, so that\u2019s the journey that I\u2019m on right now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mb-4 text-lg font-bold\">Related News<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"ct:story;elm:img;itc:0;\" class=\"stretched-box\" href=\"https:\/\/www.complex.com\/music\/a\/treyalston\/montell-jordan-drake-debt-def-jam\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"relative\"><\/div>\n<p><\/a><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p><span>Montell Jordan Remembers How Drake Got Him Out of Debt With Def Jam<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">,<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"ct:story;elm:img;itc:0;\" class=\"stretched-box\" href=\"https:\/\/www.complex.com\/music\/a\/niall-smith\/mahalia-new-song-and-video-whenever-youre-ready\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Mahalia (credit: Wired PR)\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/qEOqGV0rU6cTjyYL2esACw--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MTtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/complex_131\/2f753d284f51d717aa10192271500e8a\"\/><\/div>\n<p><\/a><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p><span>Mahalia Nods To A Montell Jordan Classic On &#8220;Whenever You&#8217;re Ready&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">,<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"ct:story;elm:img;itc:0;\" class=\"stretched-box\" href=\"https:\/\/www.complex.com\/music\/a\/niall-smith\/mahalia-roadside-feat-aj-tracey\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Mahalia and AJ Tracey (credit: Instagram)\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/bgoMpdVej7PJ1sIaVqkFvw--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MTtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/complex_131\/4b4927bceef050d45993d92625ddb8d9\"\/><\/div>\n<p><\/a><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p><span>Mahalia Recruits AJ Tracey For New Breakup Anthem \u201cRoadside\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\"><b>Related News<\/b><\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><b><i><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/music\/articles\/angie-stones-children-sue-truck-143744130.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Angie Stone's Children Sue Truck Company for R&amp;B Singer's Highway Crash Death;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Angie Stone&#8217;s Children Sue Truck Company for R&amp;B Singer&#8217;s Highway Crash Death<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><b><i><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/music\/articles\/noah-40-shebib-simple-drake-185951094.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Noah '40' Shebib on How \u2018Simple\u2019 It Was to Get Drake to Sign Gaza Ceasefire Letter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Noah &#8217;40&#8217; Shebib on How \u2018Simple\u2019 It Was to Get Drake to Sign Gaza Ceasefire Letter<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.complex.com\/shop?utm_source=yahoo&amp;utm_medium=syndication&amp;utm_campaign=shop2025\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere.
