Lil Nas X has shared an important health update after being hospitalized due to partial facial paralysis. The Grammy-winning artist took to social media to reassure fans that he’s doing okay, despite the health scare. In an Instagram Story, he gave fans a quick look into his recovery, revealing that while his face is still affected, he’s staying positive and working on getting better.
In a short video, the rapper addressed his condition, saying, “I’ve been chewing a lot so I can get this muscle stronger.” He explained that the right side of his face has improved significantly, though he still faces some challenges. His eyes remain swollen and paralyzed, but he’s clearly in good spirits.
Though he hasn’t disclosed the exact cause of his condition, many fans are drawing comparisons to Justin Bieber’s experience with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, a similar condition that also affects the face and caused Bieber to struggle with facial paralysis in 2022.
During the update, Lil Nas X kept his sense of humor. “My eye still has to play catch-up, but I can give a genuine smile, so that’s good,” he said, adding, “I’m still winking at mothaf–kers,” keeping his usual playful tone intact. His upbeat attitude has resonated with fans who have been concerned about his health.
The rapper’s social media posts have been filled with lighthearted moments as he continues to recover. He even shared a fun reference to Nicki Minaj’s verse for Selena Gomez, joking, “This right eye is keeping an eye out for Selen-er.” On another post, he shared a scenic ocean photo with the caption, “Can’t s–t ruin Dreamboy summer,” signaling his positive outlook and determination to make the most of the situation.
Throughout this tough time, Lil Nas X has kept his fans in the loop with uplifting messages and beautiful outdoor photos, showing that even with facial paralysis, he’s keeping his spirits high and maintaining his signature humor.
