Lil Nas X says he is “feeling better” after a period in rehab and has publicly confirmed that he has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Multiple outlets report that the rapper shared the update in a video or post on social media, describing receiving the diagnosis and beginning to seek treatment, including a therapist and a psychiatrist. Sources also say he explains that he had felt his condition might be present for years but did not want to acknowledge it until later. The reports tie the disclosure to an earlier police incident in Los Angeles, which outlets describe as an arrest for attacking police officers in 2024, followed by him entering rehab. BBC and other outlets say the rehab stay came after the arrest. NDTV and others report that he spent “a few months” in rehab. Several sources also note that he frames his mental health experience as challenging, while expressing improved well-being and discussing personal topics including his identity. NME and others add that he says he plans to release new music. Overall, the accounts agree on the rehab follow-up, the bipolar diagnosis, and his current message of recovery and treatment.
