Pop star Lil Nas X says he's much better and feels "less fear in my heart" after a mental health episode led to his arrest last August. He shared in a video that he was in rehab for months and later diagnosed with bipolar disorder. The Grammy winner, whose real name is Montero Hill, said he's now "creating freely" and has new music on the way.
