So happy to see he’s doing well. Rooting for him!!
In this video he just posted to Instagram, he says he’s been doing well. He has been in rehab and got diagnosed with bipolar disorder, which he says he’s always suspected but never wanted to look into because of the meds. Also makes a joke about already being black and gay, and now this, so living life on extreme hard mode. He has a therapist and psychiatrist, and is creating freely and working on new music.

Can’t wait to hear the next bop too.

I’m so glad he has a web of support and that he feels excited and optimistic about life. Appreciate his transparency so much and I will always root for him!
Good for him.
I love himmm
In a completely non parasocial way, i really love him and hope for his happiness and success in life in general. He just seems like such a good and positive human and i do enjoy his music even if i don’t follow it a ton.
In short, good for him getting help and coming back stronger than ever. Keep shining.

It’s wonderful to see someone seek help and be able to continue to work on their art.
awe so happy for him!! also realizing how much him and damson idris look alike lol
He looks so good!!!!! Go Nas 💛
I’m so glad to see this.
I was just listening to Montero the album the other day and wondering how he was doing, so this is so beautiful to see! 🥹
This warms my heart, rooting for Montero
He looks really good ❤️
I’m so happy to see this!
Bipolar disorder SUCKS. So happy to see he’s more comfortable and doing better!
Glad, he’s doing well!
As a neurodivergent black guy who still suffers from internalised homophobia and a slew of mental health issues a year after being diagnosed with the double whammy of ADHD/Autism and reconciling with my bisexuality, I have a real soft spot for lil Nas X. He’s carrying the banner for all the neurodivergent queer black men out there who always felt out place. God Speed lil nas X. I hope you make a full recovery and bless us with some great music when the time is right ✊️.
Bless this kid!
This was a really good message to hear! He looks good, he seems healthy, and I hope the best for him!
On another note, he still feels like a new artist. I can’t believe “Old Town Road” came out in 2018.
Let’s go, Montero!
he’s so real for mentioning the intersectionality at play. he’s right, the stigma for being black, gay, AND bipolar is really fucking hard. happy he is putting in the work to heal and grow, wishing him nothing but good things!!!
From a PR standpoint point of view this video is great. Showing the bright blue sky and his bright smile; talking honestly about where’s he’s been and what’s going on with him. It’s open, honest, and looking toward a brighter future. Not hiding from the past. I hope he keeps shining.
His manager/PR/whomever encouraged him to do this deserves as raise. Maybe he had no help? But, I bet he did. It’s way better than some statement put out by management.
He is so cute 🥺 hope he is doing fine ❤️
