Lil Nas X has been hospitalized after he was found roaming around Los Angeles at night and into the early morning. The artist was caught on video by TMZ as he was walking down a Studio City street wearing only his underwear and cowboy boots.
Per NBC4, cops were called at 6 a.m. about “a naked man in the 11000 block of Ventura Boulevard in the San Fernando Valley community.” The man, who was identified by LAPD as Lil Nas X, reportedly charged at officers once they arrived on the scene. Police then requested firefighter-paramedics for a possible drug overdose and Lil Nas was hospitalized.
LAPD said he “threw punches at officers, leading to a use of force by the officers, who forced him to the ground.” The news outlet reports the “Old Town Road” artist is expected to be booked on suspicion of misdemeanor battery on a police officer.
The 2x Grammy winner exploded in popularity in 2018 thanks to his massively successful breakout hit “Old Town Road.” Since then, he dropped off his debut album Montero in 2021 which housed features from Doja Cat, Jack Harlow, Megan Thee Stallion, and more. He also treated fans with an 8-song body of work titled Days Before Dreamboy in March of this year, and he’s expected to share his Dreamboy album sometime in 2025.
Aside from the recent incident, the 26-year-old has fans buzzing after he wiped his Instagram this month. He previewed a song titled “KIMBO” that boasts a feature from Lil Jon. Listen to the snippet below.
