Lil Nas X Hospitalized with Partial Facial Paralysis

Lil Nas X, whose real name is Montero Lamar Hill, has been hospitalized after experiencing partial facial paralysis. The rapper revealed his condition on Instagram, sharing a video of himself in a hospital bed.

In the video, he attempts to smile, but only half of his face can be seen smiling. "This is me doing a full smile right now by the way," he said. "I can't even laugh right."

Hill didn't provide information on what may have caused the condition.

Social media users commented that Hill's video resembled one posted by singer Justin Bieber in 2022, in which he showed facial paralysis due to a Ramsay Hunt syndrome diagnosis.
