Lil Nas X has given an update following his recent experience with partial paralysis in his face.
The rapper had to go to the hospital earlier this week and shared a video on social media where he mentioned losing control of the right side of his face.
In a new Instagram Stories update, Lil Nas X mentioned that he has regained movement in the lower half of his right side. He is making progress in his recovery.
Filming himself chewing a piece of gum for medicinal purposes he explained: “I’ve been chewing a lot so I can get this muscle stronger.” Pointing to his mouth he said, “It’s much better!”
While Lil Nas X noted his left eye still “needs to play catch-up”, he seemed confident about his improvement overall.
“I can give a genuine smile, so that’s good!” he shared.
Other artists who have dealt with temporary facial paralysis include Justin Bieber, who shared in 2022 that he also experienced partial paralysis on the right side of his face. He has since fully recovered.
Lil Nas X recently released his Days Before Dreamboy EP and promoted it with the single Light Again last year.
