Meanwhile, the 31-year-old singer recently insisted she's "doing a lot better" since she contracted the disease.

She said: "I'm about halfway through my treatment.

"I'm doing a lot better. Seeing a lot of progress ... I'm just really grateful to know that, like, I will make a 100 percent recovery."
