In an exclusive revelation, the 65-year-old reality TV personality and renowned hairstylist has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, a battle he kept private until now.
Eubanks, a beloved figure in Atlanta’s social and fashion scene, received his diagnosis earlier this year after routine medical checkups revealed irregularities. “It was a shock,” Eubanks shared in an emotional interview. “You never think it’s going to be you, but when it is, you have to face it head-on.” His characteristic resilience and optimism shine through, even as he navigates this difficult chapter.

The diagnosis came after Eubanks experienced symptoms that prompted him to seek medical advice.

Eubanks, known for his bold personality and unapologetic flair, is now using his platform to raise awareness about the importance of early detection and regular screenings. “I want men, especially Black men, to know that getting checked can save your life,” he emphasized, highlighting the higher risk of prostate cancer among African American men.

His journey with cancer has only strengthened his resolve to live authentically and inspire others. “I’m not letting this define me,” he said. “I’m still Dwight—fabulous, fierce, and fighting.”
Eubanks is currently undergoing treatment, which includes a combination of medical interventions tailored to his condition. While he remains private about the specifics of his treatment plan, he expressed gratitude for the support of his family, friends, and fans. “The love I’ve received keeps me going,” he said, his voice filled with emotion.
As he faces this health battle, Eubanks is determined to continue his work and advocacy. He plans to share more about his journey in the coming months, hoping to destigmatize conversations around prostate cancer and encourage men to prioritize their health. “This is my story, and I’m telling it to help someone else,” he said.
Fans of Eubanks have taken to social media to express their support, flooding his accounts with messages of love and encouragement. His courage in sharing this deeply personal struggle has only deepened the admiration many have for him. As he continues his fight, Dwight Eubanks remains a beacon of strength, proving that even in the face of adversity, he is as unstoppable as ever.
