A Surprise Hospital Visit
Around Monday, April 14th, Lil Nas X, whose real name is Montero Hill, posted a series of candid videos on Instagram. Wearing a hospital gown but still rocking a Von Dutch cap, the 26-year-old revealed he had mysteriously “lost control of the right side of my face”.
He demonstrated the paralysis for his millions of followers, attempting a smile that only formed on the left side. Keeping it incredibly real, he said, “This is me doing a full smile right now, by the way.” He added with a mix of confusion and his typical humour, “It’s like what the f—. Bro, I can’t even laugh right, bro. What the f—. Ah! Oh my God.”
Keeping Spirits High Despite The Scare
Despite the obviously worrying situation, Lil Nas X managed to keep his spirits up, even joking about the difference between the sides of his face. “We normal over here,” he joked, gesturing to his left side, “We get crazy over here,” pointing to the paralysed right side.

Lil Nas X revealed he lost control of one side of his face, sparking concern and comparisons to Justin Bieber’s Ramsay Hunt Syndrome. But one expert says it looks more like Bell’s Palsy.
