Lil Nas X is opening up about a major private battle.
The “Industry Baby” rapper took to Instagram to share a deeply personal update with his fans, revealing that he quietly spent the past few months in a rehabilitation facility following a recent diagnosis of bipolar disorder.
In a candid video posted to his feed, the 27-year-old artist explained his recent absence from the spotlight. He shared that getting a clear diagnosis has allowed him to better understand himself and his mental health patterns.
“I’ve spent the last few months focusing on me,” he told followers, noting that he is now actively working with a dedicated therapist and psychiatrist to manage his condition.
Thankfully, the Grammy winner had some incredibly reassuring news for the fans who have been worrying about his quiet streak. He confirmed that the treatment has been incredibly beneficial and that he is currently feeling “much better” and more grounded than he has in a long time.
But that’s not all. For those wondering if the hiatus meant a break from creativity, Lil Nas X also used the update to tease that his time away has channeled into his art. He officially promised fans that new music is on the horizon, hinting that his upcoming work reflects his recent journey and emotional growth.
It takes a lot of vulnerability to share something so raw, and his comments are already flooded with massive waves of love and support from fans and fellow artists alike. We’re incredibly glad to hear he’s doing well and getting the support he needs—and we absolutely cannot wait to hear what he’s been working on.
