Hollywood actress and singer Teyana Taylor has announced that she will be taking a medical break to treat a noncancerous growth on her vocal cords.
The singer announced this on her Instagram story, revealing that the medical condition has been affecting her voice.
She however, assured her fans that the condition is treatable, but apologized for her upcoming absence in previously scheduled appearances.
I’ve been quietly dealing with some vocal challenges for a while now, and after a lot of back and forth with my doctors, I’ve been told I need vocal surgery immediately. They found a noncancerous growth on one of my cords that’s been messing with my voice and causing real discomfort.
Thankfully, we caught it & it’s treatable-but it does mean I need to pause and give myself time to fully heal. Because of this, I have to step back from some upcoming appearances, including Mrs. Obama’s podcast taping at Martha’s Vineyard this weekend, and that honestly breaks my heart, she said.
Teyana expressed her heartfelt appreciation for the constant love and support she receives. She stated that she is hurt about having to miss her special appearance on escape room with Michelle Obama.
I don’t take lightly what it means to show up for y’all. I’ve poured so much of myself into this next chapter-especially the escape room, which is still dropping August 22! So no worries there it’s the most personal body of work I’ve ever created.
And the timing… it’s not lost on me. Just as I was getting ready to finally share this with you, life handed me my own unexpected escape room-one I didn’t ask for, but one I now have to find my way out of with patience, rest, and faith. This moment hurts. Thank you for rocking with me through it all.
For the grace, the love, and the space to heal. I can’t wait to be on the other side of this stronger, softer, and singing again, she said.
