Bun B and his wife Queenie are celebrating a major milestone in her life! Recently on social media, the rapper showed the moment she rang the bell to indicate she had beaten breast cancer. His heartfelt post about her strength had fans swooning and sending prayers for Queenie’s continued recovery.
In the video Bun B shared on Feb. 17, Queenie rocked a pink tracksuit and blonde hair while standing near a bell inside a hospital. Medical staff and what appeared to be her loved ones stood nearby. Bun asked the room to quiet down as hospital staff presented Queenie with an encouragement token and a certificate for completion of chemotherapy treatment. After reading an inscription above the bell, Queenie rang it three times and then wiped tears away. In his video caption, Bun B called her his hero and more.
“Shes been my best friend, wife, partner, lover, business partner and more. But today, shes my hero,” he wrote.
Additionally, the rapper wrote that Queenie’s cancer journey began last June, when she was diagnosed during her yearly check-up. The couple followed the advice of their primary care provider, and she began chemotherapy treatment in July. It ended in December, he wrote.
“She fought like a champ for our family and for herself. No self doubt or pity. She stood tall on faith and fought through pain, poison, exhaustion, neuropathy and more daily and attended all family events even when she was in serious pain & discomfort but she still didnt complain. She had her surgery the first week of January and today we are proud to say shes cancer free,” Bun B added.
Also in his caption, Bun thanked specific doctors for their hard work and bedside manners that kept Queenie “calm and comforted.” Moreover, he thanked their immediate family and closest friends for their “unwavering support and constant prayers in this season.” Lastly, the husband encouraged everyone to get their yearly check-ups.
“I implore everyone to please get your health checked yearly and consistently because in cases of cancer and other illnesses early detection can be the difference between life and death. Now lets give it up one time for a cancer free Queenie!”
