Lil Nas X just dropped a major personal revelation. The \”Old Town Road\” hitmaker revealed he’s been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and is now working with both a therapist and psychiatrist to manage it. \”I have a therapist now and a psychiatrist, which has been really helpful when I got my bipolar disorder diagnosis,\” he shared.
The confession comes nearly a year after the rapper was arrested on suspicion of battery involving a police officer. That incident made headlines, but Nas X has stayed relatively quiet about what was happening behind the scenes. Now we know he was dealing with serious mental health stuff the whole time.
Getting proper professional help is huge, and the 26-year-old seems to be taking his mental health seriously. He’s been pretty open about his struggles in the past, so this admission fits right in with how he usually handles his business.
