While Lil Nas X has not yet revealed what exactly has caused the partial facial paralysis, some fans are speculating if its Bell’s Palsy - a condition categorised as a temporary weakness or lack of movement that usually affects one side of the face - or Ramsay Hunt Syndrome which is a shingles outbreak that affects the facial nerve near one of your ears.
