Rapper Lil Nas X has been charged with four felonies following his arrest last Thursday after he was spotted wandering Ventura Boulevard in Los Angeles in his underwear and cowboy boots.
The artist, whose real name is Montero Hill, was charged with three counts of battery against a police officer and one count of resisting an executive officer, according to LA Superior Court records. He is currently being held without bail and is scheduled to be arraigned in front of Judge Sarah Ellenberg in Van Nuys today, when bail may be determined.
Following reports of his arrest, the Los Angeles Police Department initially did not name him directly, but confirmed to Variety that an incoherent, nude man was taken into custody and hospitalized around 5:50 a.m. TMZ released footage showing Lil Nas X walking the street in the middle of the night, and later published footage of him fully nude while rapping Nicki Minaj’s verse from “Monster.”
LAPD had responded to calls and complaints early Thursday morning of a nude man acting erratically on the street. He was arrested for battery of an officer and was transferred to a hospital on the suspicion of a potential overdose.
Prior to his arrest, Lil Nas X made several random Instagram posts after erasing content from his page. On Wednesday, he posted several song snippets as well as pictures of the inside of his home. One of the posts featured him in the same white cowboy boots he was wearing in Thursday’s video.
