Bell’s palsy is a condition causing temporary weakness or paralysis on one side of the face, usually due to facial nerve inflammation. This nerve controls facial muscles, and its damage leads to symptoms like a drooping face, difficulty smiling, and potential loss of taste on the affected side. The exact cause of the condition is not known. Some are speculating that the rapper could have Ramsay Hunt syndrome. Pop singer Justin Bieber was diagnosed with the rare neurological disorder that also causes facial paralysis.
