Lil Nas X had an unforgettable early morning adventure in Los Angeles on Thursday that left fans and bystanders shocked. Around 4 a.m., the rapper was spotted walking down Ventura Boulevard wearing only white underwear and cowboy boots. In a video obtained by TMZ, he was seen placing an orange traffic cone on his head while mumbling about heading to a party. His bizarre behavior quickly drew attention, prompting concerned citizens to call the LAPD.
Officers arrived at the scene around 5:50 a.m. and reported that Lil Nas X charged at them, which led to his arrest for battery on a police officer. He was then transported to a local hospital for a possible overdose. Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported, but the situation raised concerns about his mental and physical health.
Prior to this incident, Lil Nas X had posted several cryptic and disorganized photos on social media, including images of a messy house and captions suggesting emotional distress. Earlier that day, he shared a video of himself dancing in a car to Marvin Gaye’s “Sexual Healing.” The rapper has been open about past struggles with substance use, including psychedelic mushrooms during the creation of his “Montero” album and using marijuana to cope with the grief of his grandmother’s passing.
Representatives for Lil Nas X have not commented on the incident, and the rapper himself has not made a public statement. Fans and the public are reminded that mental health and substance issues are serious, and support is available through resources like the SAMHSA helpline.
