Lil Nas X Hospitalized For Mysterious Reason — And Fans Have Questions
Lil Nas X is seemingly on the mend after an unspecified health condition left half his face paralyzed. The two-time Grammy winner, whose real name is Montero Lamar Hill, seemed in good spirits in a short video posted to Instagram Monday that appears to have been filmed from a hospital bed. 'This is me doing a full smile right now, by the way,' he said in the clip. 'Bro, I can't even laugh right.' In the caption of the video, Lil Nas X acknowledged he'd 'lost control of the right side of my face,' but offered no further details about his condition or what might have caused the illness. A representative for the singer and rapper did not immediately respond to HuffPost's request for comment. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ☆dreamboy. (@lilnasx) By Tuesday afternoon, Lil Nas X's post had drawn a plethora of well wishes from some of his famous friends, including actors Taraji P. Henson and Niecy Nash. Some questioned if he'd experienced a stroke, while others suggested it was likely he'd been stricken with Bell's palsy or Ramsay Hunt syndrome, two conditions known to cause temporary facial paralysis, usually on one side of the face. In 2022, Justin Bieber revealed he'd been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, prompting him to cancel his Justice World Tour after 49 performances. Though Bieber has yet to return to the concert stage, he has continued to share periodic updates regarding his health with fans on social media. Lil Nas X's announcement comes just weeks after his appearance at the 2025 GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles, where he and fellow musician Maren Morris presented the award for Outstanding Music Artist to Doechii. He's also been teasing a new album, 'DREAMBOY,' set for release sometime this year.

Shyne Loses Re-Election Bid in Belize: ‘The People Have Spoken'
Shyne has lost his bid for re-election in Belize. The former Bad Boy conceded defeat in a press conference on Wednesday night (March 12). According to Channel 5 Belize, Shyne (born Moses Barrow) was unseated by fellow United Democratic Party member and businessman Lee Mark Chang in the general election.

According to Channel 5 Belize, Shyne secured only 318 votes in the constituency of Mesopotamia, while Chang earned 601. 'The people have spoken. Congratulations to Lee Mark Chang — he's now the new area representative of Mesopotamia, and I wish him well,' Shyne said, according to the local news outlet. 'I was confident; that was the interaction I was having with the people, but they made a decision to go in another direction, and I respect that.' With Shyne losing his House of Representatives seat, he's planning to resign as the leader of the Belize UDP once a new official is elected. 'I certainly will resign effective once we have a national convention to elect a new leader,' he added. 'Obviously you can't be a leader of the United Democratic Party once you're not a member of the House, and I would not want to be appointed as a senator or anything to hold on to the leadership.' Chang was very critical of Shyne leading up to the election, reportedly referring to him as a 'cancer' in the government. 'The people are realizing they have been bamboozled,' he reportedly said on national TV in Belize. It's unclear if the loss marks the end of Shyne's run in Belizean politics. Shyne rose to fame in the late '90s as a rapper under Diddy's Bad Boy Records label. He was sentenced to 10 years behind bars in 2001 on assault, gun possession and reckless endangerment charges for his role in a 1999 NYC nightclub shooting that left two people wounded. He was released in 2009 after eight years behind bars and deported to Belize.
