Rapper Lil Nas X says he has ‘lost control of the right side of my face'
Rapper Lil Nas X has said he has 'lost control of the right side of my face' before reassuring fans he is 'OK'.
The 26-year-old posted a video on social media of himself in hospital attempting to move his mouth and laugh while one side of his face remains still.
In the video posted on Instagram, the Old Town Road rapper, whose real name is Montero Hill, said: 'This is me doing a full smile right now, by the way.
'It's like what the f***, bro, I can't even laugh right. Oh my god.'

In a later post he added: 'We normal over here (showing the left side of his face), we crazy over here (showing the right side).'
He then told fans to 'stop being sad for me', encouraging them to 'shake your ass for me instead'.
Famous friends and fellow musicians wished the artist well, with Garbage singer Shirley Manson replying: 'Sending you love.'
The rapper did not give a reason for what caused the issue or why he was in hospital.
Some of the temporary conditions which can cause facial issues are Bell's Palsy, which causes a weakness or lack of movement to one side of the face, or Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, in which a shingles outbreak affects the facial nerve near the ear, according to the NHS.
Singer Justin Bieber cancelled several dates on his Justice World Tour in 2022 after contracting Ramsay Hunt Syndrome.
Lil Nas X began his career in 2015 and shot to fame with country-rap single Old Town Road in 2018. He has had two UK number one singles and one UK top 10 album.
The star is next due to perform at the Outloud Festival in the US, which will run from May 31 to June 1.

Justin Bieber Shares Post Allegedly Telling Fan to ‘Worry About Yourself' After Expressing Concern
Justin Bieber is making it clear he doesn't want anyone worrying about him amid growing concerns from fans about his well-being. On Tuesday, June 10, the two-time Grammy Award winner, 31, reposted an Instagram Reel from a fan account on his Story. The Reel featured an alleged comment he left under a now-deleted post by @todayyearsold. The account originally shared a series of text messages they received from what appeared to be their grandfather, which read, 'I am worried about Justin' and 'There is so much heartbreak in Justin's life.' The user wrote, 'We all are,' at the top of the post. Justin allegedly then commented, 'Worry about yourself gramps.' Fans had mixed reactions to Bieber's alleged remark and discussed it in the comment section, with some people seeing the situation as humorous. 'I love Justin so much😂😂😂😂 so unserious,' one fan gushed. A second fan added, 'This is why I love him since 2009. He is always funny.' 'Leave Justin alone he said he's FINE' a third fan declared. However, others thought Justin's comment further signals that he is struggling with his mental health. One user wrote, 'Actually love him so much, but he definitely needs help.' 'I find this all pretty sad,' a second user commented. 'Bro is totally lost, [it] is sad that people [are] finding [this] funny still,' a third user stated.. Justin's alleged comment comes amid a posting spree on the app. On Sunday, June 8, he shared two black-and-white selfies and wrote that he was 'tired of transactional relationships' in his caption. 'If I have to do something to be loved. That's not love,' he added. Justin's wife, Hailey Bieber, also posted on Instagram recently, sharing a summer-themed photo dump with solo shots of herself over the weekend. The Rhode founder, 28, captioned her post, 'lemon drop martinis and therapy all summer long. 👍🍋🍸.' However, eagle-eyed fans noticed the model later removed the part about 'therapy,' changing her caption to 'lemon drop martinis all summer long 👍🍋🍸.' Back in February, Justin's rep vehemently denied reports that the 'One Less Lonely Girl' hitmaker was using hard drugs, telling TMZ that the rumors about him are 'exhausting and pitiful and shows that despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive.'

The account originally shared a series of text messages they received from what appeared to be their grandfather, which read, 'I am worried about Justin' and 'There is so much heartbreak in Justin's life.' The user added, 'We all are,' at the top of the post. Justin allegedly commented, 'Worry about yourself gramps.' He also made a cryptic post earlier in the week, writing he was 'tired of transactional relationships.' Last month, Hailey, 28, appeared on the cover of Vogue and discussed her family in an interview with the outlet. 'It's been my biggest teacher so far,' she said about motherhood. 'The biggest teacher in my relationship. You see your partner so differently.' The Rhode founder made it clear that the gossip about her marriage is 'not real.' 'I have a real life,' she told the publication. 'My real life is that I get to wake up to my beautiful family and my son and my friends and I have people that know me and love me and I love them.' Back in February, Justin's rep vehemently denied reports that he was using hard drugs, telling TMZ that the rumors about him are 'exhausting and pitiful and shows that despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive.'

Carnie Wilson honours late father Brian Wilson
Brian Wilson's daughter Carnie Wilson has broken her silence on her father's death. "I have no words to express the sadness I feel right now," she began her post, which she shared alongside a photo of her and her sister, Wendy Wilson. "My father @brianwilsonlive was every fibre of my body. He will be remembered by millions and millions until the world ends." The Hold On singer noted how "lucky" she was to have been his daughter and "had a soul connection with him". "I've never felt this kind of pain before, but I know he's resting up there in heaven, or maybe playing the piano for Grandma Audree, his Mom," wrote Carnie. "I will post something else soon but this is all my hands will let me type. I love you Daddy. I miss you so much already." In an Instagram post on 11 June, Wilson's family confirmed that he had died at the age of 82. No cause of death has been revealed. Nancy Sinatra, who collaborated with Wilson on her 2002 album California Girls, called singing with the late artist "one of the biggest thrills of my life" in a heartfelt Instagram tribute. "His cherished music will live forever as he travels through the Universe and beyond," Sinatra captioned the post, alongside a photo of Wilson with his arm wrapped around her. "God bless you, sweet Brian."
