Everything Don Omar Shared About His Cancer
The 46-year-old first revealed he had cancer in an Instagram post on Monday (June 17). However, he did not indicate what type.
For context, the American National Cancer Institute I already said before There are more than 200 types of the disease. This year, NCI estimates doctors will diagnose “about 2.0 million people” with a variant of the disease.
“Today yes, but tomorrow I won’t have cancer,” said Don Omar in his caption, translated from Spanish. “Good intentions are well received. See you all soon. #f**kcancer”
The post featured a photo of Don Omar’s clenched fist with a red and white hospital band around his wrist. A closer look at the band indicates that his surgery may have been performed at Orlando Health, a private hospital.
In two days, the post received over 53,000 comments and over 970,000 likes.

Earlier this month, the Puerto Rican rapper shared historic career news. 21 years after releasing his debut album ‘The Last Don’, he has surpassed one billion streams on Spotify.
Months before the cancer scare, Don Omar made peace with longtime reggaeton rival and fellow Puerto Rican Daddy Yankee.
“Thank you for collaborating and for competing because I did this with a titan. I cherish the good memories, the laughs, the dreams together and the desire for one last round with such a great opponent. We will meet again soon because I owe you a hug and a thank you personally. In the meantime, long live King Daddy,” he wrote in the translated caption.
