Lil Nas X was arrested in Los Angeles on Thursday morning after locals spotted the rapper walking on the street disoriented and in his underwear. According to ABC7 Eyewitness News, the 26-year-old, whose legal name is Montero Lamar Hill, was taken into custody on suspicion of battery on a police officer and was hospitalized for a possible overdose.

Video shows Lil Nas X on the street in his underwear acting erratically
According to TMZ, early Thursday morning, several people in the Studio City area called the police to report a man walking on the street in his underwear. Some even said the man was nude. Someone passing by took a video of the man who, in the clip, is wearing a pair of white underwear and cowboy boots. He mumbles something about a party and, later, puts an orange traffic cone on his head.
Officers arrived at the scene at around 6 a.m. Upon their arrival, authorities claim the man charged at them, ABC7 Eyewitness News reported. The man was arrested and taken to a hospital for a possible overdose. The man’s identity was confirmed by ABC Los Angeles affiliate KABC.
In a TikTok video, NBC News reported that he has since been released from the hospital and that he was arrested under California Penal Code section 69, which is “resisting or deterring an officer from performing their legal duties.”
Prior to his arrest, surveillance footage taken outside of the Short Stories Hotel on Wednesday shows the rapper walking around the nearby street and into the hotel’s courtyard area. The hotel confirmed to TMZ that he was there, but was not a registered guest at the hotel.
Lil Nas X opened up about having a ‘pretty difficult’ last few years
His arrest comes after the rapper has been candid about his personal issues in recent years. According to TMZ, a since-deleted video of him talking about his upcoming music and his recent struggles was later reposted to a fan account in February, sparking concern from fans.
In the clip, he explains that he does not want fans to think he is “flaky” and “all over the place,” and he opens up about having a “pretty difficult” few years. He then assures fans that he is working on his confidence and returning to what he does best: music.
Fans are expecting his highly anticipated second studio album, Dreamboy, to release later this year.
