Lil Nas X Shares Update on Partial Facial Paralysis
Originally appeared on E! Online is getting back to his regularly scheduled 'Dreamboy summer.' Days after the 'Old Town Road' artist shared he was in the hospital after suffering from partial facial paralysis, he reassured fans that he is already on the road to recovery. 'I've been chewing a lot so I can get this muscle stronger,' Lil Nas said in an April 15 Instagram Story, pointing to the right side of his face. 'It's much better.' 'My eye still has to play catch-up but I can give a genuine smile, so that's good,' he continued. 'I'm still winking at mothaf--kers.' While the two-time Grammy winner hasn't shared the cause behind his paralysis, had a similar experience when he shared his diagnosis with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome in 2022. At the time, the 'Baby' singer was even forced to cancel shows before he regained full mobility in his face nine months later. More from E!

But from the very beginning, he was steadfast in approaching the scary situation with nothing but humor and positivity. 'This right eye is keeping an eye out for Selen-er,' he joked on his Instagram Stories, referencing 's verse about Justin's ex in his 2012 song. 'It do not give a f--k.' And despite his lack of complete control over his mug, the 26-year-old still made it clear that he would be taking full advantage of the summer sun. 'Can't s--t ruin Dreamboy summer,' he wrote over a photo of a beautiful ocean landscape. 'ITS TIMEEE.' Indeed, Lil Nas has since been sharing glimpses into the fabulous moments—including one of him dancing on his balcony overlooking a beautiful sunrise April 18—that prove he is doing much better. Because at first, the news of his health scare left fans extremely worried. 'When I smile, this is me doing a full smile,' the 'MONTERO' singer said in an April 14 Instagram video from a hospital bed, during which only the left half of his face lifted in a smile. Laughing through the pain, he added, 'It's like, what the f--k? Bro I can't even laugh right. Oh my god.' 'Soooo lost control of the right side of my face,' he captioned the post, alongside a crying emoji. And moments later, he took to his Instagram Story to further show the state of his condition, panning the camera from one side of his face to the other. 'I'm so cooked.

In a video posted to Instagram, Nas is sitting on a hospital bed trying to smile, but is unable to do so. 'This is me doing a full smile right now, by the way,' he says through laughter. 'I'm just like, what the fuck? I can't even laugh right bro, what the fuck? Oh my God, bro. So… yeah.' The 26-year-old later elaborated more on his Instagram Story, reassuring fans: 'Guys I am OK!!

(@lilnasx) Though Nas has not said exactly what his condition is yet, fans online have speculated that it could be Bell's Palsy, which causes weakness or paralysis on one side of the face due to a facial nerve issue. According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, the cause of Bell's Palsy is unknown, but it can be triggered by high blood pressure, an infection, diabetes, or toxins in one's system. Nas has been teasing a new era lately, having released a string of singles leading up to his forthcoming second studio album 'Dreamboy.' He released his debut record, 'Montero,' in 2021 after the runaway success of 'Old Town Road,' which became the longest-running No.1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 at 19 weeks. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Videos & Features Bouchra Dahlab Crowned Miss Arab World 2025 ..

Lil Nas X says he 'lost control' of part of his face but is now doing 'much better.' Bell's palsy signs & symptoms you should know — and how it differs from a stroke
This article is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Contact a qualified medical professional before engaging in any physical activity, or making any changes to your diet, medication or lifestyle. Lil Nas X is sharing how one side of his face became paralyzed, but urged fans to "stop being sad" after what appeared to be a hospital trip. The 26-year-old rapper shared a video earlier this week where he seemingly can't control the right side of his face, and has since been posting updates on social media about his recovery. The "Old Town Road" artist, whose real name is Montero Lamar Hill, posted a video Monday evening where he's lying in bed wearing a hospital gown. In the post's caption, he said he "lost control of the right side of my face" and further explained in the clip how he couldn't properly smile or laugh. "This is me doing a full smile right now, by the way. I can't even laugh right. Oh my God, bro," the "Industry Baby" singer said in the video while in good spirits. The Atlanta-born star later took to his Instagram Stories to quell people's worries about him and his health. In one of his first posts after the video, he wrote he's "OK" in a blank post with text: "Stop being sad for me! Shake your a— for me instead!" The rapper, who released single "Hotbox" last month and is gearing up to release upcoming album "Dreamboy" this year, then shared various selfies of himself and his progress to recovery. One photo he wrote on-screen text saying he's going to "look funny for a lil' bit but that's it." On Tuesday, he shared a photo of the sky and palm tree with on-screen text saying people probably think they're being winked at when they see him, adding that he's "so cooked." He then shared a follow-up video on Wednesday of himself talking to the camera in a mirror, showing how his face muscles have already made some progress. "I've been chewing a lot so I can get this muscle stronger. It's much better, it's much better," he said to the camera. "My eyes, though, still have to play catch-up. But I can give a genuine smile, so that's good." While the rapper hasn't shared what he was told by medical professionals, people on social media shared he might've experienced Bell's palsy. Below, read everything you need to know about the condition, the symptoms and how it's treated. According to MyHealth Alberta, Bell's palsy "is a paralysis or weakness on one side of your face. Damage to the facial nerve that controls muscles on one side of the face causes that side of your face to droop." The condition comes on suddenly, often overnight, and will generally get better on its own in a matter of weeks. It affects both men and women equally, and most cases occur between the ages of 20 and 40. Minor symptoms of Bell's palsy may include drooling, increased sensitivity to sounds, loss of taste, dry eyes and pain behind your ear. But some of the more significant physical symptoms, according to the Canadian Association of Optometrists, include: Difficulty closing one eye Slurred speech Drooping of one corner of the mouth Inability to whistle A wrinkle-free forehead all on the same side Ocular symptoms might include the inability to close the eye on the affected side of the face, dryness, redness and a burning sensation of the eye. Some of the symptoms are the same between Bell's palsy and stroke. Regardless, it's important to get medical attention quickly in either case to ensure the patient gets the proper treatment. For stroke, it's important to remember the words "be fast." Each letter stands for: Balance: Be aware of any sudden balance loss. Eyes: Check for any vision loss. Face: Look for drooping on one side of the face or an uneven smile. Arms: Assess if there's weakness on one side of the body. Speech: Look for slurred speech or the inability to speak normally. Time: Call 911 if these symptoms are present. Symptoms like trouble finding words, eyes gazing in one direction, trouble walking and vision changes are more common in strokes. A person having a stroke may also have numbness on one side of the body or face, and weakness in the arms and legs on one side. On the other hand, a person experiencing Bell's palsy won't have that same weakness. They also won't have difficulty moving their tongue or eyes. The cause of Bell's palsy is unclear. However, most cases are believed to be caused by the herpes virus that causes cold sores, according to MyHealth Alberta. It can also be linked to other viral infections like the flu, chicken pox, shingles and Epstein-Barr virus. Other conditions linked to Bell's palsy include: Bacterial infections Lyme disease Inflammation of the facial nerve Diabetes Hypertension Pregnancy Multiple sclerosis Injuries Facial or dental surgeries Extreme exposure to cold Unfortunately, there isn't anything you can do to prevent Bell's palsy since it's typically linked to an infection. If you live with health conditions linked to Bell's palsy, managing them may help reduce your risk. Otherwise, you can take care of yourself by performing basic facial exercises to strengthen the muscles in the face. Massaging your forehead, cheeks and lips may also help. Most people who have Bell's palsy will completely recover within three to six months. That's especially the case for people who can still partly move their facial muscle, MyHealth Alberta noted. A small number of people may experience permanent muscle weakness or other problems on the affected side of their face. If you need treatment, your health-care provider may suggest a variety of options for symptom relief and faster recovery. That might include: Eye care: You may be offered eye drops to soothe dry eyes, or you might have to wear a patch if you can't close the affected eye to prevent dryness, irritants or injuries. Oral corticosteroids: These can help prevent nerve swelling and may help you regain facial movement faster. Antiviral medications: You may take these to speed up recovery, but they're typically only prescribed in severe cases. Electrical stimulation: Some health-care providers will offer this treatment to prevent facial loss after Bell's palsy.
