Chart-topping rapper seeking treatment after arrest for walking nearly naked: ‘This is a bump’

Rapper and pop star Lil Nas X is in treatment after being arrested on felony charges last month.

That’s according to the star’s lawyers, who said during a court hearing Monday that Nas X, a.k.a. Montero Hill, is currently being treated at an undisclosed facility outside of California.

Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Shellie Samuels said Hill can stay out of state as long as he remains in treatment, according to Rolling Stone.

Judge Samuels also modified the conditions of Hill’s release to allow for ongoing inpatient care.

“You heard the ‘treatment’ word. We’re doing what is best for Montero from a personal standpoint and a professional standpoint, but most importantly, for his well-being,” Hill’s lawyer, Drew Findling, said to a Rolling Stone reporter after the hearing. “He is surrounded by an amazing family, an amazing team of people that care about him and love him. And we’re just addressing those issues. It’s really as simple as that. He’s had a great life, and he’ll continue to have a great life. This is a bump that he’s going to get over.”

Hill was arrested on Aug. 21 after he was found roaming along Ventura Boulevard wearing only underwear and boots. Police took him to a hospital for a possible overdose and he spent the following weekend in jail.

He was charged with battery and resisting a law enforcement officer. He was released from prison after posting $75,000 bail.

“Your girl is gonna be OK, y’all,” Hill said in a video posted to Instagram several days later. “She’s gonna be all right. … That was [expletive] terrifying. That was terrifying. That was a terrifying last four days. But your girl is gonna be all right.”

The “Old Town Road” singer’s next court date is scheduled for Nov. 18.
