Lil Nas X hospitalized for facial paralysis

Lil Nas X revealed on Instagram that he was hospitalized after half of his face became paralyzed. On Monday, the rapper, who celebrated his 26th birthday last week, shared a video to the platform from his hospital bed with the caption: “Soooo lost control of the right side of my face.”

In the clip, the “Montero” performer cracked a lopsided smile for fans.

“This is me doing a full smile right now by the way,” he explained. “I can’t even laugh right, bro. ... Ah! Oh my God.” Lil Nas X then tried to reposition his jaw with his hand, but his face stayed put.
