I only learned that someone named “Lil Xan” existed just this summer. I had gone my whole life without that knowledge, and I was happier because of it. I first became aware of Lil Xan because he and Noah Cyrus were together and looking like drugged-out fetuses on red carpets. They dated for a while (“a while” in kid-time) and they recently broke up in a messy, public way, because of social media and the fact that they’re both really thirsty and young. I hoped that would be the last I would hear of Lil Xan. I’m sorry to report that it was not the last I heard of him. Apparently, Lil Xan had to be hospitalized this week. Post-breakup drug issue? Was he huffing glue or swallowing bath salts or eating Tide Pods? Apparently not. Apparently, he was eating Flaming Hot Cheetos and his stomach hurt. Poor baby.
It’s safe to say Lil Xan will not be reaching for Flamin’ Hot Cheetos again anytime soon. The rapper, 22, shared on Instagram that he made a trip to the hospital on Monday because of the popular orange snack.
Showing off what appeared to be his hospital bracelet, Lil Xan, who called it quits with Noah Cyrus earlier this month, said, “Yeah, I went to the hospital today. … I just want to let everyone know I was in the hospital not due to any drugs, but I guess I ate too many Hot Cheetos, and it ripped something in my stomach open.” The rapper — né Diego Leanos — added, “So we good.”
According to People Magazine, this is surprisingly common – people (mainly youngsters) are mainlining these spicy, salty snacks and there are all kinds of common stomach and gallbladder problems. Personally, I like a bit of spice, but not in my chips and snacks. I’d rather have a spicy MEAL. But whatever – I guess this is a half-decent PSA for the youths: don’t eat five bags of Hot Cheetos a week.
