Rather than waiting and risking the issue getting worse, Teyana chose to move forward with surgery right away to prevent further complications, and to make sure she can tour her upcoming album Escape Room, which drops August 22.

She also admitted that staying silent during recovery might be a challenge, joking that not talking is a difficult task to undertake.

Wishing Teyana a full and speedy recovery!
