Lil Nas X Arrested Los Angeles Faces Four Felony Charges

Lil Nas X, the 26-year-old rapper known as Montero Lamar Hill, was arrested in Los Angeles after being found walking around in his underwear and cowboy boots, subsequently facing four felony charges including battery on police officers and resisting arrest. His father, Robert Stafford, has spoken candidly about the incident, attributing his son's public breakdown to the intense pressures of the music industry, the responsibility of being a family breadwinner, and the emotional toll of his mother's addiction struggles. Stafford described an emotional jail visit where both father and son cried, and Lil Nas X expressed remorse, asking his father to apologize to the public on his behalf. The rapper was released on a $75,000 bail with a court date set for September 15, and faces up to five years in prison if convicted. Despite the charges, Stafford emphasized that Nas is in good spirits and committed to getting the help he needs.
