Grammy-winning artist Lil Nas X recently appeared to confirm that he has tested positive for COVID-19. The hitmaker revealed his diagnosis in a series of tweets, sharing that he is experiencing symptoms associated with the disease. "Covid really sucks. last night i was tryna watch p-rn then i sneezed snot all over p--is lmao," he tweeted -- then deleted, reported Billboard. His COVID revelations apparently came a little earlier in the afternoon, after former US President Barack Obama shared his list of favourite music of 2021, which included Lil Nas X's Montero (Call Me By Your Name)', according to various outlets that captured the artist's tweets before he nixed the entire thread.

After the former president presented his playlist, the 22-year-old artist shared Obama's tweet and added, "started running around the house when I saw this then i remembered i have covid lol." He followed that with "now that i'm sure i won't die from covid i will now begin making mildly funny jokes about having it." According to Uproxx, Lil Nas X also took the Omicron/Omarion joke about the new variant further, writing, "I'm not sure whether I've had the omarion or alicia keys variant of covid but this has not been a fun journey."

The rapper's message comes within a week of his announcement that he had to pull out of Capital FM's Jingle Ball show in the UK after unspecified members in his camp tested positive for COVID-19. Popular band Coldplay also had to cancel their Jingle Ball appearance for the same reason. "Both acts have had members of their teams test positive for COVID-19 and therefore are not able to perform. We'd like to wish the very best and a speedy recovery to Coldplay, Lil Nas X and their teams," read Capital FM's statement last weekend.
