Jessie J Reveals ‘Early Breast Cancer' Diagnosis: ‘Cancer Sucks in Any Form'
British singer Jessie J has revealed that she had been recently diagnosed with 'early breast cancer.' The musician (born Jessica Cornish) shared the health update on social media on Tuesday (June 3), telling her followers that the diagnosis came shortly before the release of recent single 'No Secrets' in April. 'I'm highlighting the word 'early,'' she explained. 'Cancer sucks in any form but I'm holding on to the word 'early.''

'I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support, and also their own stories,' she explained. 'I'm an open book. It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much – similar and worse.' 'I'm getting to keep my nipples, that's good,' she continued. 'It's a weird topic and a weird situation. And I know the press are going to say crazy stuff but you know what, to get diagnosed with this as I'm putting out a song called 'No Secrets' right before a song called 'Living My Best Life,' which was all pre-planned before I found out about this, I mean, you can't make it up.' Indeed, Jessie J's news comes shortly after the release of her single 'Living My Best Life,' which arrived on May 16. In the caption to her Instagram post, the singer added levity to her situation, writing 'No (more) Secrets and is it too soon to do a remix called 'Living my breast life'?' In closing her video to fans, Jessie J explained that she will 'disappear for a bit' to undergo surgery following her performance at the Summertime Ball in England on June 15. Jessie J's decision to be open and honest with her health journey aligns with her comments from July, in which she revealed a recent diagnosis of obsessive compulsive behavior (OCD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity (ADHD). 'It's empowered me and honestly sometimes has overwhelmed me all at the same time,' she explained, noting that the information had made her think about her life in a whole new way. 'If there is one thing social media has given me, it's the chance to relate, connect and heal with strangers that have kind hearts and are going through a similar thing. 'I have always been honest in the journey I'm going through in life.'

Drake Congratulates DDG For His New Album ‘Blame the Chat,' Trolls Adin Ross For Not Listening to It
Drake has given DDG his flowers for his new album Blame The Chat and clowned Adin Ross for having not listened to it. In DDG's latest Twitch stream on Monday (May 12), DDG and Adin Ross spent the day together, culminating in a video call with The Boy. 'Congrats on your album,' Drake told the rapper, before pivoting his attention to Adin, 'Did you listen to it?'

'Why are you saying you didn't stream man?' he exclaimed. 'You were literally just streaming. You've been streaming for four out of the last like seven days!' The compliments from Drake come after DDG said he thought his new album was gonna sell the equivalent of 500 units in its first week. The YouTube star turned rapper then confirmed that the album had only sold 1,230 units, before changing that number to 11,000. Regardless, the album did not chart the Billboard 200. The low numbers don't seem to be phasing DDG, who claimed last month his lifestyle is actually so extravagant he still lives paycheck to paycheck. 'I have to make money,' he said during a livestream. 'Bills are high. Did I tell you how much my bills is a month? N—a, my bills high as s—t. If I don't work, I'ma go broke ASAP… Like, I have to work. I don't have a choice. It ain't 'bout me trying to pocket some money. I have multiple homes, multiple cars. I have family. I have a child. I spend a lot of money.'
