Lil Nas X has reportedly been charged with several felonies for assaulting and injuring police officers during his arrest in Los Angeles last Thursday.
The “Old Town Road” musician, born Montero Hill, was hit with four felonies, including battery with injury on a police officer and resisting an executive officer, after he attacked cops who were trying to detain him, according to TMZ.
When the officers confronted Hill as he walked naked along Ventura Blvd. in the San Fernando Valley, he allegedly charged at the cops and injured at least three of them.
Page Six has reached out to Hill’s reps and the LA County District Attorney’s Office for comment but did not immediately hear back.
As previously reported, the two-time Grammy winner, 26, allegedly “punched an officer twice in the face during the encounter,” a source told NBC News. At that time, Hill was booked with a misdemeanor charge of battery on a police officer.
A disturbing video of the “Industry Baby” emcee roaming the LA streets in nothing but a pair of white underwear and white cowboy boots at 4 a.m. surfaced online last week.
In the clip, Hill told the person filming that he was headed to a party and put an orange traffic cone on his head.
In a second bizarre video obtained by TMZ, the “Rodeo” rapper, 26, could be seen walking down the middle of the road completely naked.
Hill then turned and walked toward the person recording for a full frontal view as he sang Nicki Minaj’s iconic verse from Kanye West’s 2010 hit “Monster.”
A public information officer told Page Six that multiple people called police to report the incident and LAPD arrived on the scene at around 5:50 a.m. local time.
We’re told the “Montero” rapper was “taken into custody” and “transported to a local hospital for a possible overdose” after he charged at the officers.
Hill was held in jail over the weekend and TMZ reported that he met with a judge on Monday morning and is expected to be arraigned.
Months before Hill’s meltdown, he spoke out about how “difficult” life had been for him the “last few years.”
“I’m just now arriving to this place of feeling confidence in myself and what I’m doing, and I’m trying to make sure I put intention towards my music and my vision and the creativity of it all,” he explained via a video message in February.
The pop star said he had fun working on his 2021 album, “Montero,” but was gearing up for his next era, which he said would be “even more full of joy” and “love.”
“I wanna go out here in this f–king world, and I wanna wave my hands in the sky and move about freely,” he said.
“I need you guys to stick beside me.”
