Lil Nas X Arrested Following an Incident with Police, Hospitalized for Possible Overdose

The rapper found himself behind bars for the weekend following an early-morning encounter with police.

Lil Nas X hit mainstream success with his 2019 hit, "Old Town Road," later culminating in two GRAMMY awards.

“Old Town Road” rapper Lil Nas X, real name Montero Lamar Hall, was arrested on Thursday (Aug. 21) morning, according to Los Angele Sheriff’s Department inmate records obtained by USA Today.

Los Angeles Police Department Officer Drake Madison told USA Today that officers responded to a call about “a nude man walking the street.” When the officers arrived at the scene, Hall allegedly charged at officers — leading to his subsequent arrest for Battery on a Police Officer.

Madison noted that the rapper was also taken to the hospital for a possible overdose. 

Hall’s actions will keep him behind bars until at least Monday (Aug. 25) due to other people being in front of him, TMZ reports. The rapper won’t be given a citation and released due to it being a violent offense. He currently stays in a jail in Van Nuys, according to police records viewed by Complex.

Footage has since surfaced of Hall walking around Los Angeles in only his underwear and a pair of cowboy boots. In the clip, he was singing and telling the cameraperson to go to a party. He would later place a traffic cone on his head.

Hall and his team has yet to speak publicly about the incident.
