Lil Nas X Hospitalized After Alleged Overdose Incident

Los Angeles, Aug 22 (AP) In a surprising turn of events, renowned rapper Lil Nas X was apprehended and briefly hospitalized due to an alleged overdose, according to Los Angeles police reports. The incident unfolded following an emergency call reporting a nude man navigating the bustling Ventura Boulevard.

Lil Nas X, whose real name is Montero Lamar Hill, was arrested Thursday on charges of misdemeanor obstructing an officer and subsequently detained. The police encountered him early morning, around 6 am, in the Studio City area, stated LAPD spokesman Officer Charles Miller.

Upon officer arrival, Lil Nas X reportedly charged at them, prompting his immediate detention. Concerned it could be a drug overdose, law enforcement first escorted him to a hospital. Details regarding his health remain undisclosed; however, he was discharged a few hours later and taken to Valley Jail in Van Nuys.

TMZ footage potentially captured the musician clad only in underwear and boots, wandering the street.

Efforts to reach out to his representatives for statements were not answered promptly.

The 26-year-old artist from Atlanta gained massive popularity with his 2018 hit "Old Town Road," which creatively blended country and hip-hop sounds and dominated the Billboard Hot 100 for a record-breaking 19 weeks.

Recognized for his innovative musical style and boundary-pushing persona, his debut studio album "Montero" from 2021, achieved the No. 2 spot on the Billboard charts and was a Grammy contender for Album of the Year. (AP)
