Lil Nas X Arrested, Hospitalized After Nearly Naked L.A. Street Incident

Rapper Lil Nas X, whose legal name is Montero Lamar Hill, was arrested in Los Angeles after police responded to reports of a nearly naked man walking on Ventura Boulevard. The 26-year-old artist, wearing only underwear and boots, allegedly charged at officers upon their arrival, leading to his detention on suspicion of obstructing or battering an officer. Concerned about a possible overdose, police transported him to a hospital for evaluation before booking him into Valley Jail, where he is being held without bail. Video footage showed Lil Nas X interacting with bystanders in a seemingly erratic manner before the arrest. This incident follows recent health concerns shared by the artist, including a hospitalization for partial facial paralysis earlier in the year. Representatives for Lil Nas X have not commented on the arrest, and authorities have not released further details on his condition following hospitalization.
