Lil Nas X speaks out after being arrested and charged with four felonies.
As previously reported Lil Nas X is faced some serious legal trouble after being charged with four felonies stemming from a bizarre incident in Los Angeles last week.
According to court filings, the Grammy-winning artist, born Montero Lamar Hill, has been charged with three counts of battery with injury on a police officer and one count of resisting an executive officer. The charges were announced following an incident that occurred on August 21, 2025, along Ventura Boulevard in Los Angeles’ San Fernando Valley.
Authorities say Lil Nas X was spotted walking down the busy street wearing only underwear and cowboy boots, at one point balancing a bright orange traffic cone on his head. Witnesses described his behavior as erratic, prompting multiple calls to law enforcement.
Following his release, Nas shared a video statement via his Instagram story. He says although the past four days have been frightening, he ensures fans that, “your girl is going to be alright.”
