Lil Nas X, whose birth name is Montero Lamar Hill, did not disclose an official diagnosis or what might have caused the paralysis but continued to speak about his condition over several Instagram stories.

Later in the interview, the singer said he felt conservatives would “actually try to kill me” if he had released “Montero” in the current social and political climate instead of in 2021.

The 26-year-old, whose real name is Montero Lamar Hill, appeared to be in good spirits, despite his condition.

Before his hospital visit, Lil Nas X had been promoting his eight-track EP Days Before Dreamboy, which previews the highly anticipated follow-up to his 2021 debut album, Montero.

Only then did he and Montero ramp their way up to full-speed drills.
