By Niamh Farrell, Happy Mag | Lil Nas X has shared a deeply personal update after months away from the spotlight. Revealing he has been in rehab while receiving treatment for bipolar disorder.
“I have a therapist now and a psychiatrist, which has been really helpful,” The Atlanta rapper said.
Lil Nas X explained that although he’d suspected for years that he might have bipolar disorder, he resisted seeking a formal diagnosis because he was afraid of what it would mean.
“I didn’t want to admit to it because I didn’t want to have to take medication and… have people think different of me.”
Now, he says he’s in a much healthier place.
The update comes almost a year after a highly publicised incident in Los Angeles that dramatically derailed the Grammy winner’s career.
