“This is me doing a full smile right now, by the way,” Lil Nas X said while laughing. The video was captioned with “Soooo lost control of the right side of my face.”
“I’m just like, what the fuck? I can’t even laugh right bro, what the f

He followed up the post by comforting his worried fans in an Instagram Story. Several commenters questioned if he was suffering from paralyzing conditions like Bell’s Palsy.
“Guys I am OK!! Stop being sad for me! Shake ur ass for me instead!” he said. “Imma look funny for a lil bit but that’s it.”
The rapper has yet to confirm any details related to the paralysis.
