Grammy-winning rapper Lil Nas X, whose real name is Montero Lamar Hill, was arrested on Thursday, August 21, in Los Angeles after a bizarre incident where he was found wandering the streets in his underwear.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), officers responded to a call reporting a “nude man” on a busy boulevard. When they arrived, the individual, identified as Lil Nas X, allegedly “charged at officers” and was taken into custody. He was then transported to a local hospital for what police described as a “possible overdose” before being officially booked on a misdemeanor charge of battery on a police officer.

The LAPD has confirmed that due to the nature of the charge, Lil Nas X cannot be released on bail and is required to appear before a judge. This means he will remain in custody at Valley Jail in Van Nuys until his court appearance, which is scheduled for Monday.
