Rapper Lil Nas X Hospitalized with Partial Facial Paralysis
Musician Lil Nas X shared a concerning video on Instagram Monday night, revealing a loss of control over the right side of his face. From his hospital bed, the 26-year-old “Old Town Road” singer attempted to smile for the camera, demonstrating the limited movement.
Visibly distressed, he expressed his frustration, saying, “When I smile, this is me doing a full smile… It’s like, what the f–k. I can’t even laugh right.”
The rapper captioned the post, “Soooo lost control of the right side of my face,” prompting an outpouring of support and concern from fans. Many offered well wishes and prayers for a speedy recovery.
One fan shared a personal experience with similar symptoms, suggesting stress as a possible cause. Another commenter, actress Holly Robinson Peete, speculated that the rapper might be experiencing Bell’s palsy, a condition causing temporary facial weakness.
Other commenters echoed this possibility, with one fan sharing their own experience recovering from a stroke and offering positive healing energy. One commenter, seemingly in the medical field, even offered their services as a nurse.
