Lil Nas X is breathing a sigh of relief after revealing that he had been hospitalized due to facial paralysis. On Wednesday, the "Montero" rapper updated his Instagram Story with an encouraging message, painting a picture of improving health. He's regained the ability to wink and smile, albeit with his eye still slightly lagging behind in its recovery journey. "Alright, I've been chewing incessantly to bolster that muscle strength," he announced in the post. "It's loads better now, truly. My eye's still catching up, but hey, I can flash you a heartfelt smile. That's something positive. Winking's back on the menu too."
Just a day prior, the 26-year-old musician had shared a video on his social media, detailing his hospitalization with a caption that read, "So, I completely lost control of the right side of my face. And look at me now, trying to muster a full smile. Laughing's off the charts awkward, bro, what even?"
In a hopeful gesture, Lil Nas X soon after posted a serene snapshot of palm trees silhouetted against a luminous moon, illuminating the tranquil ocean. Alongside it, he penned, "Nothing can dampen dreamboy summer's vibe. IT'S ABOUT TIME."
Not one to let a challenging situation get him down, the artist also lightened the mood by sharing a screenshot of J. Cole's "Crooked Smile" album cover, adding a touch of humor to his ongoing saga.
