Lil Nas X Faces Four Felony Charges After Los Angeles Arrest

Rapper Lil Nas X, legally Montero Lamar Hill, has been charged with four felonies — three counts of battery with injury on police officers and one count of resisting an executive officer — following his arrest in Los Angeles after an incident where he was found walking naked on Ventura Boulevard. Police say Hill charged at officers when confronted, leading to his arrest and subsequent hospitalization for a suspected overdose before being taken to jail, where he remains without bail. The charges carry serious potential penalties, including several years in prison and significant fines, with Hill scheduled for arraignment where bail will be considered. In the days leading to the incident, Hill posted erratic content on social media, and he has had previous health issues, including partial facial paralysis earlier this year. No official statement has been made by Hill or his representatives yet, and the case remains under investigation. This situation marks a troubling development for the artist, who has been recovering from health challenges while working on new music.
