Lil Nas X Shares a Video Update After Getting Mental Health Care: ‘There’s Less Fear in My Heart’

  • On Wednesday, musician Lil Nas X posted an Instagram video revealing he has been in rehab for a few months to address his bipolar disorder diagnosis.
  • The update follows his August arrest in Los Angeles, where police accused him of assaulting officers; Judge Alan Schneider granted the 27-year-old entry into a two-year mental health diversion program in April.
  • In his video, the 27-year-old said he initially resisted medication but now sees a therapist and psychiatrist, telling fans he is "living life on extreme hard mode" while experiencing "less fear in my heart."
  • Completing the two-year treatment plan will result in dismissal of four felony counts; he has returned home to Atlanta and Los Angeles, focusing on grounding himself and getting out of his head.
  • Lil Nas X teased that "new music is on the way" as he enters this "next chapter," expressing gratitude to fans for "holding it down" during his absence from the spotlight.
