Lil Nas X is recovering from a health scare affecting his face.
The 26-year-old rapper, whose real name is Montero Hill, shared a video from a hospital bed on Monday, April 14, telling fans he lost movement in part of his face.
“Soooo lost control of the right side of my face,” he captioned the video.
Wearing a hospital gown, the rapper showed his limited facial movement and tried to smile.
“This is me doing a full smile right now, by the way,” he said, while grabbing his jaw. “It’s like what the f–k. Bro, I can’t even laugh right, bro. What the f–k. Ah! Oh my God.”

Niecy Nash added, “Wishing you a speedy recovery,” while comedian Wanda Sykes wrote, “Get well love. Sometimes your body tells you to sit down somewhere. Rest up.”
Some fans speculated that he could be suffering from Bell’s palsy, while others hoped it wasn’t something more serious.
Many sent prayers and messages of support, but he seemed to be in good spirits.
“I’m so cooked,” the “Montero” artist wrote over another video. “We normal over here, we get crazy over here.”
On Tuesday, April 15, he returned to his Instagram Stories to update his 10 million followers.
“I feel like it’s already getting better,” he said in a video. “This left eye is keeping an eye out for Selener, it do not give a f–k.”
“Right eye is stubborn. Imma be good. Smile getting a lil better,” he added in the caption.
In a later post, Lil Nas X appeared to be out of the hospital and was roller skating.
