Lil Nas X recently shared with fans that he's been hospitalised after losing control of the right side of his face. The 26-year-old rapper posted a video from his hospital bed, where he tried to keep things light despite the obvious discomfort. “When I smile, this is me doing a full smile right now, by the way… It’s like, I can’t even laugh right, bro. Oh my god, bro,” he said. He let out an awkward chuckle, covering his mouth before continuing, “Ahhh. So, yeah.” “Soooo lost control of the right side of my face,” he captioned the video.

We get crazy over here,” he said before adding, “I'm so cooked” over the video. He later wrote, “Guys I am OK!! Stop being sad for me!” and even shared a selfie from his hospital bed with the caption, “Imma look funny for a lil but but that's it.” Fans and friends quickly flooded the comments with concern and support. One fan wrote, “I love how positive you are, but get better soon,” while another added, “Hope it’s not a stroke or Bell’s palsy. I’m recovering from a stroke and it sucks. Sending positive healing energy your way babes.” Comedian Wanda Sykes chimed in with a motherly warning: “Sometimes your body tells you to sit down somewhere. Rest up.rapper Many other fans prayed for his speedy recovery and commented, “Get well soon.” While Lil Nas X hasn’t revealed what exactly caused the condition, many fans have speculated it could be Bell’s palsy — a temporary facial paralysis due to nerve issues — or Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, a rare condition linked to shingles that can also cause hearing problems. Justin Bieber dealt with Ramsay Hunt in 2022, which led to him canceling part of his tour. In a video back then, Bieber showed fans how he couldn’t blink one eye, though he eventually made a full recovery.
