Lil Nas X Hospitalized After Suffering Partial Facial Paralysis

On Tuesday morning, the 26-year-old revealed that he was already back at home and had regained some movement in the right side of his face, specifically the lower half. “This right eye is keeping an eye out for Selen-er. It do not give a fuck,” he joked, referencing Nicki Minaj’s verse on Justin Bieber’s “Beauty and a Beat.”

Prior to his medical incident, Lil Nas X had been rolling out his sophomore album Dreamboy. Though he has yet to reveal an official release date, he’s been consistently dropping a series of new songs and videos. In November, he officially launched the era with singles “Light Again” and “Need Dat Boy.” Most recently, he premiered the song “Hotbox.” This summer, he’s scheduled to headline Outloud Festival, an annual Pride Month festival in Los Angeles, alongside Lizzo and Kim Petras.
