Lil Xan might be gearing up for his upcoming tour, but Flamin' Hot Cheetos have other plans for the rapper, and they've even landed him in the hospital this week.

In a series of Instagram Stories and posts, Lil Xan, ex-boyfriend of Noah Cyrus, shared how he ended up in the hospital and posting this picture from an ambulance:

Lil Xan said he was going about his business and eating Hot Cheetos but soon noticed they were doing a number on his intestines. He said, "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." He didn't say how many bags he ate, but he did say he "puked a little blood." Ouch.

Turns out, Lil Xan's incident isn't at all uncommon and people go through this all the time. In July, one young woman had to have her gallbladder removed after eating four bags of Hot Cheetos in one week, and Dr. Cary Cavender of Le Bonheur Children's Hospital told WREG, "We do see tons of gastritis and ulcer-related stuff due to [hot snacks]."

Those fiery little crunchies betrayed Lil Xan, and while he may not go anywhere near them in the future because they "are one hell of a drug," he insists "we good."
