The singer, best known for hits including "Don't Mess With My Man" and "Laundromat", opened up during a video conversation she posted to her Instagram page on July 22, 2026.
Speaking with candour about gratitude and resilience, she described how the cancer diagnosis reshaped her outlook on life in ways she had not anticipated.
Nivea on Her Leukaemia Treatment and Recovery
Nivea said her treatment has been progressing well and expressed genuine optimism that the positive trajectory would continue.
She credited her faith as a stabilising force throughout what she described as one of the most difficult stretches of her life, expressing thankfulness to God as she works through her recovery.
Rather than retreating from public life or her creative ambitions, Nivea said the diagnosis had the opposite effect. It pushed her to finally pursue goals she had been putting aside for years.
She has returned to recording music and, significantly, has enrolled in audio engineering school, where she is learning the technical craft of music production with a focus on mixing.
She said studying audio engineering had long been a dream she kept deferring, and the health scare was the push she needed to stop waiting.
The American singer also spoke about the shift in priorities that often accompanies a serious illness, noting that time with her children has taken on even deeper meaning.
She said the experience had taught her not to take ordinary moments for granted, and that living with daily gratitude is now something she is actively committed to.
