Lil Nas X was hospitalized Monday after he “lost control of the right side of” his face.
The rapper opened up about the recent medical scare in an Instagram post where he showed footage of himself attempting to move his face. “And when I smile,” he said while trying to smile but proving unsuccessful on his right side. “This is me doing a full smile right now, by the way.”
The right side of Lil Nas X’s face stayed stagnant in the clip: “I can’t even laugh right, bro what the fuck, Oh my God.” After sharing the news, he gave his followers a few updates via his Instagram Story confirming he was healthy and holding up. “Imma look funny for a lil bit but that’s it,” he wrote.
The “Industry Baby” singer offered another update on his condition on Tuesday. “I feel like it’s already getting better,” he said in a video on his Instagram Story where he demonstrated himself attempting to smile and blink once again.
“But obviously, you can see this left side is blinking, this right eye is keeping an eye out for Selener,” he added, pointing out that while the right portion of his face was able to muster up a little movement, he was still unable to blink his right eye.
The two-time Grammy Award winner did not confirm his diagnosis, though his posts reminded fans of when Justin Bieber’ was diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome in 2022. The condition left the pop star with “full paralysis” on one side of his face and forced Bieber to cancel his Justice world tour, though it’s not confirmed if Lil Nas X is facing the same ailment.
