Lil Nas X has been hospitalised after "losing control" of one side of his face.

Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, the rapper posted a video showing him sitting in a hospital bed and wearing a patient gown.

In the footage, Lil Nas - real name Montero Hill - demonstrated how he was struggling to move the right side of his face.

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

Lil Nas has not yet shared any further updates on his condition.

In the accompanying caption, the 26-year-old simply wrote, "Soooo lost control of the right side of my face."

And shortly after the Old Town Road hitmaker shared the post, he was inundated with well-wishes from his celebrity followers.

"Get well baby," wrote Taraji P. Henson, while Wanda Sykes noted, "Get well love. Sometimes your body tells you to sit down somewhere. Rest up."

Lil Nas is set to release his second studio album, Dreamboy, later this year.
