Rapper Lil Nas X has been taken into custody and is now confronting four felony charges

The situation unfolded last Thursday when he was seen walking on Ventura Boulevard in Los Angeles dressed only in underwear and cowboy boots. Court documents from LA Superior Court show the artist, whose legal name is Montero Hill, faces three counts of battery on a police officer and one count of resisting an executive officer. He remains in custody without bail and is expected to appear before Judge Sarah Ellenberg in Van Nuys later today, where bail might be set. The LAPD initially withheld his identity but verified to Variety that a naked, disoriented man was detained and hospitalized around 5:50 a.m. TMZ shared video of Lil Nas X walking late at night and later posted clips of him fully nude while rapping along to Nicki Minaj's part in the song "Monster." Public incidents involving well-known figures often attract intense media scrutiny, which can complicate the conversation around personal well-being and legal processes. It's a reminder of how quickly personal struggles can become public spectacle, sometimes shifting focus away from underlying issues. The police were alerted early Thursday morning following reports of a nude person behaving erratically in public. He was arrested for allegedly assaulting an officer and taken to a hospital over concerns of a possible overdose. In the hours before his arrest, Lil Nas X had posted a series of unrelated updates on Instagram after clearing his account. On Wednesday, he shared short music clips and photos from inside his residence, including one where he wore the same white cowboy boots visible in Thursday's footage.
