Lil Nas X announced the death of his mother, Tameka Hill, on Saturday via Instagram, as he continues his personal journey through treatment and recovery. The 27-year-old artist, who revealed in June that he had spent time in rehab, shared a heartfelt tribute to his mother.
"RIP TO THE BADDEST EVER! LOVE U FOREVER MOMMY," the two-time Grammy Award winner wrote. "This one’s gonna hurt." The post included several photos, including a throwback image of Hill and a picture of Lil Nas X with his mother.
While no immediate cause of death was provided, Lil Nas X has publicly discussed his mother's struggles with addiction. His announcement comes two months after he confirmed on social media that he had completed a multi-month stint in rehabilitation.
