The 26-year-old artist shared a video from his hospital bed, revealing he had lost movement on the right side of his face. “When I smile, this is me doing a full smile right now… it’s like, what the f**k. I can’t even laugh right, bro,” he said in the clip, visibly surprised at his inability to control his facial muscles.
Fans and celebrities quickly flooded the comments with well-wishes and speculation. Actress Holly Robinson Peete asked if it might be Bell’s palsy, a condition that causes temporary weakness or paralysis on one side of the face.

Later, Lil Nas X reassured fans via Instagram Stories, writing, “Guys I am ok!! Stop being sad for me! Shake ur ass for me instead!” He added humorously, “Imma look funny for a lil bit but that’s it.”
Celebrities like Taraji P. Henson and Ledisi joined in sending support, with Henson commenting, “Get well baby” and Ledisi adding, “Get well soon!”
Many online were quick to draw comparisons to Justin Bieber, who revealed in 2022 that he had been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, a condition that caused temporary facial paralysis and forced him to cancel parts of his Justice world tour. At the time, Justin also shared a video to reveal to his disheartened fans his troubling condition that forced him to pull out of the tour.

"I can't smile on this side of my face," Justin said in the video and added, "There's full paralysis on this side of my face. So for those frustrated by my cancelations of my next shows, I'm just physically not capable of doing them."
Bell’s palsy, a condition speculated in Lil Nas X’s case, causes sudden weakness or paralysis of the facial muscles, often on just one side. The rapper has not officially confirmed a diagnosis but appears to be in stable condition.
