Rapper Lis Nas X has shared a health update on his social media channels that has understandably left many of his fans worried.

The American musician, whose real name is Montero Lamar Hill, took to Instagram to reveal the right side of his face is paralyzed after being admitted to hospital.

"Soooo lost control of the right side of my face," the rapper wrote, captioning a video that appeared to shows the 26-year-old upbeat despite receiving healthcare.

He said: "When I smile, this is me doing a full smile right now by the way… it’s like, what the f**k. I can’t even laugh right, bro. What the f**k! Oh my God. So… oh my God, bro. So… yeah."

The rapper didn't explain how the right side of his face got paralyzed in the first place, but went on to say that it could be due to medical issues such as an infection, injury, or a brain condition, usually when the nerves controlling your facial muscles are irritated or damaged.

Bell's Palsy is also one possible explanation, 'a condition causing sudden weakness or paralysis on one side of the face', according to the NHS. You've also got the more serious possibility of a stroke.

As Lil Nas X continues to recover in hospital, many of his fans have flocked to the comments section of the Instagram video to wish him well.

A third penned: "Hope u feel better @lilnasx take all the time you need to recover!" and a fourth quipped: "Sending you love. Get well soon my love. You are amazing!"

Lis Nas X has since taken to Instagram once more to thank his fans for their concern and provide a health update from his hospital bed.

"GUYS I AM OK!!" he wrote in a text post. "STOP BEING SAD FOR ME! SHAKE UR A** FOR ME INSTEAD!"

The rapper then posted a selfie assuring fans: "Imma look funny for a lil bit but that's it," with two laugh crying emojis.

Lil Nas X is due to release his second album DREAMBOY later this year, so fans will wonder what impact if any his health scare will have on that.
