I’m a Fighter’- Janice Dickinson speaks About Breast Cancer Struggle

Published

on

American model, photographer, author and talent agent Janice Dickinson has open up about her battle with breast cancer on Wednesday’s The Doctors. Calling her illness a “journey she never thought she’d be on,” Dickinson, 61, preluded to her cancer story by reflecting on her modeling success saying, “I use to obsess over image, I’m the world’s first supermodel, I’ve been in front of cameras. I will never keep quiet when something is bothering me. I’m a fighter.”

Adding, “I’m not the type of woman to fall apart but it’s nothing to downplay.”

The former supermodel revealed last week that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer.

“I received the news being diagnosed with breast cancer. I haven’t been feeling myself for the past several months, I knew something was wrong,” she said in the 3-minute teaser trailer.

“My internist gave me the initial breast examination, she felt something. She said ‘Something here doesn’t feel right.’ She felt a lump,” Dickinson recalled of the moment she learned her diagnosis. “I had been very regular with mammograms, after comprehensive tests from four specialists the doctor said point blank, ‘You are positive for cancer.'”

The former America’s Next Top Model panelist lost her mother to cancer and broke down in tears when she remembered that painful period in her life.

“It’s shocking, everything hit me at once. My mother died of cancer, so I know how bad I felt when I heard about my mother,” Dickinson said. “My son broke down. Honestly haven’t cried in about 30 years, and just lately I’m tearful because I felt fear for the first time. And I don’t get scared. I kind of lost it.”

Emphasizing how “cancer does not define me,” the mother of two is still excited about her future despite the cancer battle ahead. “I want to see my daughter walk down the aisle and I want grandchildren, and I want to get married with Rocky, my fiancé, who’s a doctor.

As for her message to other women battling breast cancer, Dickinson advised: “I’m doing this for all women, please sisters have regular breast examinations. I can be emotional and happy and sad and afraid but I’m not alone. I now await surgery.”

Please stay strong Janice and fight this disease off, will pray for you!

Plantashun Boiz attempted reunions failed because I wasn’t invited, says Blackface

Blackface, the Nigerian dancehall singer, says Plantashun Boiz, a defunct music group, multiple attempts to reunite failed because he was not included.

Formed in 2000 with 2Baba and Faze, Plantashun Boiz disbanded in 2004 but briefly reunited in 2007 for an album.

In a recent episode of the ‘Curiosity Made Me Ask’ podcast, the host asked Blackface if there was any chance that the group might come back together.

The singer disclosed that his colleagues had attempted to reunite without him but were unsuccessful.

“Without me, they have tried and they have failed. Many times. You saw them in all those shows that they were going,” he said.

“They tried but they failed. But what I must say is I’m the plantation. So let it be known. Forget the fake memo that they spread before.”

In September, Blackface called for the reunion of the defunct music group.

He urged fans to join the mission, emphasising that “unity is strength, not division”.

“My people oya make una talk put mouth for this matter! We are on a mission for world peace and it’s not a small-time thing,” he said in pidgin English.

Since 2015, Blackface constantly tackled 2Baba for recording 2004 hit ‘African Queen’ which he claimed he wrote.

In 2017, he argued that 2Baba “sabotaged” his career in the music industry.

Despite feud, Peter Okoye celebrates Paul on 43rd birthday

Peter ‘Mr P’ Okoye, the Nigerian singer, has celebrated Paul ‘Rudeboy’ Okoye, his twin brother, on their 43rd birthday amid their ongoing feud.

The twin brothers have been in the public eyes since their second fallout in August.

They had their first rift in 2017 which led to the dissolution of Psquare, their music brand. Though they reunited in November 2021, their reconciliation was short-lived.

Paul recently revealed another fallout, accusing Peter of orchestrating his arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Peter, however, denied the allegations and accused Jude Okoye, their older brother, of diverting millions of dollars from their joint account into a secret company.

Responding to the accusations, Jude said he had done everything possible, even “sacrificing himself,” to mend the rift between his brothers.

In an Instagram post on Monday, Peter shared several photos showcasing their growth over the years.

He also celebrated their birthday while wishing himself as well as his twin brother more wins.

Wizkid’s group of fans collectively known as “Wizkid FC” are popular for their vehement support for Wizkid and their antagonism toward those considered his rivals.

Tiwa Savage is the latest artist to call out Wizkid FC for harassment after some members of the fanbase mocked her for releasing a song on the same day as Wizkid.

On November 15, 2024, Ruger released his new song ‘Toma Toma’ featuring Tiwa Savage which she shared on her Instagram page with the caption “Told yall this one is special. The @rugerofficial called and I answered”.

In response, a Wizkid fan said “Dey play, nothing special pass Wizzy hits”.
