Shanice net worth: R&B singer's fortune explored in wake of cancer diagnosis revelation

Singer Shanice spoke about her battle with breast cancer during an appearance on Good Morning America on October 30, 2024. Known for albums such as Every Woman Dreams, the record producer currently has a net worth of $250,000, as reported by CelebrityNetWorth.

Also known as Shanice Lorraine Wilson-Knox, she revealed in the interview that her diagnosis followed the discovery of a cancerous lump in her breast, which eventually turned out to be a cyst. Eventually, she decided to maintain a distance from mammograms for around eight years.

She addressed her regret for not taking things seriously, saying that every woman needs to understand the importance of mammograms. The singer added:

"If I would have gone sooner, I could have caught [my breast cancer diagnosis] when it was just at stage zero."

In March 2024, Wilson-Knox went for a mammogram, which confirmed her diagnosis. She underwent a double mastectomy in May 2024, and the results disclosed that there was a tumor in her breast. She opened up about how she felt at the time, stating:

"When I had my surgery and they told me I had cancer, I literally lost my smile. But I wanted to come on the show to encourage women that you have to keep smiling. I got my smile back."

Discussing her experience with mammograms, she stated that she had dense breasts, which have more tissue and left fat, making it harder to read the mammograms. In September 2024, she posted a few videos recorded at the hospital on Instagram, addressing her surgery. She thanked everyone who supported her in this journey and wrote:

"God is a healer.. So 3 months I had a double mastectomy.. I had a stage one centimeter tumor in my breast.. Thank God I caught it early… I wasn't ready to talk about it then but I'm strong enough to talk about it now.. Please everyone get checked.."

Shanice accumulated notable wealth from her music career: Details explored

The Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania native has built a substantial fanbase over the years with her work in the music industry. Her singles have consistently topped the charts, and she has released some major projects.

Shanice has collaborated with several companies, such as A&M and Motown Records. According to Albumism, she was able to join other popular singers in different projects due to Babyface, who approached her to give backup vocals. She told the outlet in 2017:

"I sang on almost every record that Babyface produced. That's how I got to sing with Usher, Toni [Braxton], Whitney [Houston] and Mariah [Carey]…just a whole bunch of projects. He had me singing background so much, L.A. Reid told me to slow down because I was doing too many sessions. He wanted me to focus on my solo career."

The 51-year-old's first two albums, Discovery and Inner Child, contributed to popularity. Back in 2021, Shanice recalled the time she went to record the second album as she spoke to Urban Bridgez, stating:

"When I went in to record "Inner Child" I wanted to record an album that would bring joy to the world. At the time there was so much sadness in the world, due to the war (Gulf War). That's why we had songs like "I Love Your Smile", "Peace In The World" and "Silent Prayer", because those songs were uplifting."

Shanice released three more albums by 2006, starting with 21… Ways to Grow, which featured her hit singles such as I Like and I Wish. This was followed by her self-titled album and Every Woman Dreams.

Just like her albums, Shanice's singles have also managed to grab the top spots on the Billboard and other charts. The list includes songs like When I Close My Eyes, Love is the Gift, Saving Forever for You, I Love Your Smile, and more. Additionally, she has a few TV shows in her credits, like Family Matters, One on One, and First Wives Club.
