Rapper Lil Nas X was arrested in Los Angeles after allegedly charging at police while wandering in his underwear.
Following the altercation, Lil Nas X was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment related to a suspected overdose, according to police spokesperson Charles Miller. Footage disseminated by TMZ shows the "Old Town Road" star joyously dancing in the streets, clad only in his underwear and cowboy boots, inviting passersby to join his impromptu celebration.
Born Montero Lamar Hill, Lil Nas X’s career took off in 2019 when he made history as the first openly gay artist to win a Country Music Association award, thanks to the unprecedented success of "Old Town Road." The hit not only snagged two Grammy Awards but also achieved a record-breaking 17-week run at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Throughout his career, he has often sparked discussions and debate, particularly after the release of his provocative music video for "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)," which drew criticism from conservative circles.
As fans await the arrival of his second studio album titled "Dreamboy," set to be released later this year, many will undoubtedly keep a close watch on both his music and public persona.
