Lil Nas X Arrested For Allegedly Hitting Cop

While gearing up for his sophomore album Dreamboy, it seems like Lil Nas X was partying a little too hard. Thursday morning, the singer went viral on social media after he was spotted on Ventura Boulevard at 4 a.m. wearing only underwear and white cowboy boots. Nas seemed to be having a good time interacting with whoever was recording him, inviting them to a party, singing, and even putting a traffic cone on his head at one point.

It wasn’t just social media that found the early morning behavior odd, as several people in Studio City reported that a naked man was roaming the streets to the Los Angeles Police Department. Once officers responded, they found Nas still aimlessly walking the dimly lit streets and put him in handcuffs after he charged at them. Law enforcement suspected he was overdosing and took him to the hospital for treatment, reports TMZ. “He was transported to a local hospital for a possible overdose and placed under arrest for battery on a police officer,” police said.  A law enforcement source told NBC that he also punched an officer in the face twice. Nas didn’t hide from the moment or attempt to bury it; instead, he jumped on social media from a hospital bed. On his Instagram stories, he told his 10 million followers that he can’t move the right side of his face. “Bro, I can’t even laugh right, bro. What the f-ck. Oh my God,” he said while attempting to smile. He continued to take the situation lightly, telling his fans not to worry about him, writing, “guys, I am okay!! stop being sad for me! Shake ur ass for me instead!!” He added that he’ll “look funny for a lil bit but that’s it.” Apparently, the authorities thought he was doing better too, and after he was released from the hospital, he was arrested on the misdemeanor charge of battery on an officer and taken into custody, as he currently sits in a Van Nuys jail cell without bail. It’s still unclear if he was under the influence of something, but see how social media is reacting to his bizarre behavior below.
