Lil Nas X is currently undergoing treatment to address unspecified “issues” after his arrest in August.
Speaking with Nancy Dillion of the Rolling Stone on Monday, Sept. 15, Drew Findling, Lil Nas X’s attorney, said that his client’s court date is in “a couple more months.” Until then, Findling is focused the Lil Nas’s recovery.
“Obviously, you heard the treatment word,” Findling said Monday, in the clip below. “We’re doing what is best for Montero from a personal standpoint and a professional standpoint, but most importantly for his well-being. He is surrounded by an amazing family, an amazing team of people that care about him and love him. We’re just addressing those issues. It’s really as simple as that.”
“He’s had a great life. He’ll continue to have a great life. This is a bump that he’s gonna get over, and on behalf of him,” Dillion continued. “His family is making sure that he addresses all those issues right now.”
Back in August, Lil Nas X was arrested in Los Angeles, California, on multiple felony charges, including three counts of battery with injury on a police officer and one count of resisting an executive officer. The incident reportedly began after police responded to reports of a naked man walking in the street. Upon their arrival, an altercation ensued, leading to the charges.
On Aug. 25, he appeared before a judge, waived his arraignment and “pleaded not guilty to three counts of battery with injury on a police officer and one count of resisting an executive officer.”
According to reports, Lil Nas X was hospitalized due to a drug overdose but his father Robert Stafford denied the allegations.
If found guilty, Lil Nas X could face a maximum of five years if convicted an all charges.
His next court date is November 18.
