Real talk!
Lil Nas X has opened up about his bipolar diagnosis.
The 'Old Town Road' star took to social media to get candid about his health in a clip captioned "wellll HELLLO!"
In the video he said: "Hey. I really wanted to talk to you guys. It’s no way I’m going to be able to make this not awkward because it’s really awkward for me. But I wrote down a few notes so I can at least make sure I say the things that I do want to say."

"First, where I’ve been. I’ve been in rehab for a few months and since then I’ve been back at home, whether it’s in Atlanta with my family or in Los Angeles with myself and friends and whatnot, and trying to ground myself down to earth and get out of my head. I have a therapist now and a psychiatrist, which has been really helpful."
"When I got my bipolar disorder diagnosis i feel like i had known for like the past few years but I didn’t want to admit to it because i didn’t want to have to take medication…I don’t know how people think different of me, I mean I’m already like Black and gay, like damn God…come on…I’m like living life on extreme hard mode," he joked.
"But on a serious note, I’m doing much better…I’m feeling better, I’m creating freely and there’s less fear in my heart..I’m smelling the roses."
"I’ve been doing music for seven years now, that’s crazy. Speaking of music, I want to let you guys know that there is new music on the way. And I’m not getting completely to that just yet, but I’m excited to do that. And I’m excited to go on this journey with you guys. This next chapter…we’ve been through so much together. Thank you guys for holding it down and I love you and all I want to do is continue to try to make you proud and make myself proud. So let’s go dream, boy. Let’s go."
