Lil Nas X has been charged with attacking police after officers claimed they confronted him for walking naked down a Los Angeles street last week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Prosecutors charged the musician, whose legal name is Montero Lamar Hill, with three counts of battery with injury on a police officer and one felony count of resisting an executive officer, the District Attorney\u2019s Office said.<\/p>\n

The rapper was initially booked on suspicion of misdemeanour obstructing an officer on Friday.<\/p>\n

He is set to be arraigned later on Monday.<\/p>\n

Police said officers found the 26-year-old walking naked on Ventura Boulevard, a major thoroughfare in the Studio City area, shortly before 6am on Friday (2pm BST).<\/p>\n

Videos circulating online appear to show the rapper walking down the street in his underwear.<\/p>\n

They say he charged at the officers when confronted and was arrested.<\/p>\n

Police, suspecting a possible overdose, took him to a hospital where he spent several hours before being taken to jail, where he has remained since.<\/p>\n

The charges were first reported by TMZ.<\/p>\n

The rapper and singer from Atlanta is best known for his huge hit from 2018, Old Town Road, which merged country and hip-hop. It spent a record 19 weeks at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100.<\/p>\n

Known for his genre-bending, innovating sounds and style, his first full studio album, 2021\u2019s Montero, went to number two on the Billboard album chart and was nominated for a Grammy for album of the year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
