Lil Nas X announces the death of his mother, Tameka Hill
Rapper and singer Lil Nas X announced the death of his mother, Tameka Hill, via Instagram on Saturday, August 29. The artist shared a series of tribute photos, including childhood images, alongside a message expressing his grief.
While the cause of death and Hill's age have not been disclosed, the rapper has previously been open about their complicated relationship, which was strained by her struggles with addiction. He noted in a 2020 interview that despite these difficulties, there was always love between them.
The loss occurs as Lil Nas X continues his own journey of personal recovery. He recently shared that he has been in treatment for mental health and has been working with a therapist and psychiatrist following a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. Just days prior to the announcement, he celebrated reaching his '10,000th day alive.'
