With Mercury in retrograde, it seems even the stars couldn’t predict what would hit Lil Nas X this week, as the rapper’s faced with a literally cheek-in-cheek curveball. Imagine, you’re gearing up for a blockbuster album release, genuinely hoping your star will shine brighter than ever before in 2023, and then BAM! One side of your face decides to take a vacation. This is what happened to our very own Montero Lamar Hill, recently seen rocking the hospital blues after he had what you might call, a ‘facial faux pas’. He took to Instagram, not for the usual glitz and glam, but to share a rather unsettling update; half of his face just decided to chill out – literally lost its mojo to move.
Does this facial paralysis stem from a mysterious cosmic alignment, or is the universe just playing a cruel jest on one jovial Sagittarius? Born on December 9th, his astrological chart is zestful with Jupiter’s expansion, yet this unexpected health scare adds an ironic spin to his perpetual search for growth and adventure. His indomitous spirit, contagious even in sickness, seemed unshaken. This, perhaps, is the hallmark of his infectious personality, where even adversity couldn’t dampen his spirits – or should I say, his very expressive face? LEARN MORE
Lil Nas X has shared a worrying update on his health, revealing that he was taken to hospital earlier this week after losing control of one side of his face.
The American rapper, singer and songwriter, whose real name is Montero Lamar Hill, posted on Instagram to let fans know he was receiving care, using the caption: “Soooo lost control of the right side of my face.”
While the 26-year-old is perhaps best known for his hit Old Town Road, he has also won himself a lot of fans thanks to his infectious personality, which included wanting to bring The Wiggles on tour with him, and also pausing a show so that he could take a s**t.
However, he’s not universally popular, with his 2021 song MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name) causing a lot of controversy as he danced with the devil on his lap, while his unofficial satan Nike shoes also didn’t exactly go down well.
But fans were very concerned after he shared the video of him speaking from his hospital bed, showing that the right side of his face was frozen and unable to move.
It clearly hasn’t dampened his spirits too much, as his usual upbeat energy clearly wasn’t affected.

He said: “When I smile, this is me doing a full smile right now by the way… it’s like, what the f**k. I can’t even laugh right, bro. What the f**k! Oh my God. So… oh my God, bro. So… yeah.”
While the musician didn’t provide much reasoning as to why or how this facial paralysis happened, medical explanations may include infection, injury, or a brain condition, usually when the nerves controlling your facial muscles are irritated or damaged.
Bell’s Palsy is also one possible explanation, as the NHS define that temporary condition as a weakness or lack of movement that usually affects one side of the face.
However, facial paralysis can also be a symptom of a stroke, which is a far more serious medical emergency.
Lil Nas X is due to release his second album DREAMBOY later this year, and it seems as if there are no plans for a delay despite this recent medical episode.
On Instagram stories, he later reassured fans that he would make a full recovery. He said: “Guys, I am OK!! Stop being sad for me! Imma look funny for a lil but but that’s it.”
While it isn’t confirmed, if the musician is suffering from Bell’s Palsy, then the NHS suggest that the recovery period could last as long as six months, which would certainly impact his ability to perform.
