Lil Nas X was arrested early Thursday morning for battery on a police officer after officers responded to calls that he was wandering Ventura Blvd. in Studio City wearing only his underwear and cowboy boots.
Lil Nas X (whose real name is Montero Hill) was taken into custody at 5:50 am.
“Upon arrival the suspect charged at officers and was taken into custody, Los Angeles Police Officer Charles Miller told Deadline. “He was transported to a local hospital for a possible overdose and placed under arrest for battery on a police officer.”
The Grammy-winning rapper is currently in custody on the misdemeanor offense at Valley Jail in Van Nuys, according to Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department inmate information records. He’s being held without bail.
In video posted by TMZ, Lil Nas X is seen singing and strutting down the street wearing only white underwear and white cowboy boots, telling a bystander, “Hey, don’t be late to the party tonight” and “Didn’t I tell you to put the phone down.”
In April, Lil Nas X revealed he had been hospitalized with a mysterious case of partial facial paralysis.
Lil Nas X rose to fame with the release of his 2018 country rap single “Old Town Road,” which held the No. 1 spot on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100’s for 19 weeks.
