Lil Nas X has shocked fans by sharing that the right side of his face is temporarily paralyzed after a recent hospitalization. The Grammy-winning artist posted a lighthearted video on Instagram, showing his struggle to smile fully, joking, “I can’t even laugh right, bro!”

Though he didn’t confirm a diagnosis, he hinted at possible causes like nerve damage, infections, or injuries. Conditions like Bell’s Palsy—which causes sudden facial paralysis—or even a stroke could be behind it, though he remained optimistic.
Support poured in from fans, with messages like “Sending love and healing vibes!” and “Get well soon!” Lil Nas X later lightened the mood, telling followers, “Imma look funny for a lil bit but that’s it,” alongside a laughing selfie.
