17 Jun
Summary
- Lil Nas X is receiving treatment and therapy following a 2025 arrest.
- He discussed his bipolar disorder diagnosis and its impact on his life.
- New music is confirmed to be on the way from the artist.
Musician Lil Nas X, born Montero Lamar Hill, provided a candid update on his mental health via Instagram on Wednesday. He revealed he has spent several months in rehab and is now undergoing therapy and psychiatric treatment.
The artist, who faced charges in 2025 for allegedly attacking Los Angeles police officers, discussed his bipolar disorder diagnosis. He admitted he had known about it for years but was hesitant to seek treatment due to stigma and medication concerns. He stated he is now feeling significantly better, creating music more freely, and experiencing less fear.
The 2025 arrest stemmed from an incident where police responded to a report of a naked individual. Authorities alleged Lil Nas X charged at three officers, resulting in injuries. He pleaded not guilty to the charges and was placed in a mental health diversion program, which could lead to dismissal if he complies with treatment and legal requirements for two years.
Lil Nas X also announced that new music is forthcoming, expressing his love and desire to make fans proud. The artist, celebrated for his 2018 hit 'Old Town Road', continues to be known for his genre-bending music and style.
