Montell Jordan, the renowned R&B artist best known for his 1995 hit "This Is How We Do It," has publicly disclosed that his prostate cancer has returned nearly a year after undergoing a radical prostatectomy. In a recent appearance on the "3rd Hour of TODAY" on September 3, 2025, Jordan shared that during a routine nine-month post-surgery checkup, scans revealed cancer in his lymph nodes. (revolt.tv)
To address this recurrence, the 56-year-old singer and pastor will undergo a seven-and-a-half-week regimen of targeted radiation therapy and hormone treatments aimed at preventing further spread of the disease. Jordan emphasized the importance of early detection, noting that it provided him with treatment options and hope for a positive outcome. (iheart.com)
In conjunction with his treatment, Jordan has partnered with ZERO Prostate Cancer, a nonprofit organization dedicated to prostate cancer awareness and support. As a Global Ambassador, he aims to encourage regular screenings, particularly among Black men, who face a higher risk of developing and dying from prostate cancer. Statistics indicate that Black men are 1.7 times more likely to be diagnosed and twice as likely to die from the disease compared to their white counterparts. (prnewswire.com)

The documentary seeks to raise awareness, provide a template for others navigating a cancer diagnosis, and break down stigmas associated with the disease. Jordan's openness about his health challenges underscores the critical importance of early detection and proactive health management. (parade.com)
