It hasn't been an easy year for Lil Xan.

Three weeks ago, he cut ties with Noah Cyrus, his girlfriend of one month after she sent him an X-rated meme; he accused her of cheating on him. Later, he recorded himself urinating on a plaque for his platinum record for his song, "Betrayed." In May, he keyed his own Mercedes SUV and called himself a "slave" to his management.

On Monday, the rapper, whose real name is Diego Leanos, announced he was recovering from a trip to the hospital. He had overdosed — on Flamin' Hot Cheetos.

"Yeah, I went to the hospital today," he says in the video, showing off an apparent hospital wristband. "Getting ready to pack for this tour. I just want to let everybody know that I was in the hospital for not due to any drugs, but I guess I ate too many Hot Cheetos and it ripped something in my stomach open a little bit and I puked a little blood. So we good."

In another post's caption, he assured his fans he would be continuing with his scheduled tour in New York, and warned them once more about the dangers of the crunchy cornmeal snack.

"Also be careful, Hot Cheetos are one hell of a drug aha!" he wrote.

In March, Waka Flocka Flame berated Lil Xan for his comments about the late Tupac Shakur. Xan gave Tupac a "2" [out of 9], saying his music was boring. Flame declared Xan was "banned from hip-hop." In a statement addressing Mac Miller's death, Xan announced he was "quitting" music.
