Lil Nas X detained in LA after chaotic street incident
The rapper, whose real name is Montero Lamar Hill, is facing multiple felony counts after police claim he assaulted officers during his arrest last week. Authorities reported that the incident occurred on Ventura Boulevard when they found him exposed and acting erratically.
Law enforcement officials stated that Lil Nas X, in an encounter early last Thursday, charged at officers when they approached him. Reports indicate that witnesses alerted authorities about a shirtless individual in the vicinity, which subsequently led to his detention.
According to TMZ, Lil Nas X was shackled and hospitalized after being spotted wandering around LA at approximately 4 a.m. wearing only his underwear. A tweet from Pop Base confirmed this account, mentioning he was hospitalized following the incident.
Last week, NBC News cited a police source stating that Lil Nas X struck a police officer twice in the face. The source also speculated whether mental health issues or substance overdose might have contributed to his behavior.
At that time, the “Old Town Road” artist was taken to a medical facility and faced charges of assaulting an officer.
Recent legal documents reveal that Lil Nas X has been formally charged with three counts of battery on a police officer and resisting arrest. These papers were filed on Monday in the Los Angeles County Superior Court. Authorities have not yet disclosed additional details about the incident.
Multiple outlets have verified that Lil Nas X was apprehended in Los Angeles on August 21, 2025, after being seen roaming the streets in his underwear. A video captured by TMZ shows him walking erratically, dressed solely in white underwear and cowboy boots. The same source later released footage depicting the rapper, barefoot and unclothed, in the midst of the chaos.
TMZ was the first to report that the artist was hospitalized and obtained exclusive footage of him walking in his underwear and boots. The coverage also includes images of Lil Nas X in a vulnerable state, emphasizing his disoriented condition during the arrest.
Further updates indicate that the rapper was involved in a physical altercation with law enforcement officers, leading to serious charges. The incident continues to draw significant media attention, with ongoing inquiries about his mental health and the circumstances surrounding his behavior.
