The “Old Town Road” hitmaker eventually making a request of his fans, “Stop being sad for me! Shake ur ass for me instead!” The rapper later provided an update that he had returned home after a short stint in the hospital, and he eventually regained some movement in the right side of his face. Prior to this incident, Nas had been busy at work on his upcoming album, Dreamboy, and is scheduled to headline the Outloud Festival in Los Angeles this summer alongside Lizzo and Kim Petras.
