The \u201cIndustry Baby\u201d singer must attend an outpatient drug rehabilitation program. Police said they believed Lil Nas X, whose real name is Montero Lamar Hill, was using drugs at the time of the incident.<\/p>\n
His attorney, Christy O\u2019Connor, said there was no evidence of drug use by the 26-year-old musician.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is just an aberrant episode in an otherwise productive life,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Lil Nas X was the first openly gay man to receive a Country Music Association Award, winning for his 2018 hit \u201cOld Town Road.\u201d He also earned two Grammys for the song.<\/p>\n
His father, Robert Stafford, told reporters outside the courthouse that the singer was \u201cvery remorseful for what happened.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s going to get the help that he needs,\u201d Stafford said. \u201cJust keep him in your prayers.\u201d \u2013 Rappler.com<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.rappler.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This is AI generated summarization, which may have errors.
