Grammy Award-winning rapper Lil Nas X has been hospitalized following a bizarre early morning incident in Los Angeles. Police confirmed that an incoherent man, matching the rapper’s description, was taken into custody and later hospitalized on Thursday, August 21.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), officers responded to calls around 5:30 a.m. on Ventura Boulevard after reports of a man walking in the street wearing only underwear. When officers arrived, the individual—identified by multiple witnesses as Lil Nas X—allegedly “charged” at them, leading to his arrest on suspicion of battery.
Footage obtained by TMZ showed the Old Town Road star strolling down the street wearing only underwear and cowboy boots, placing a traffic cone on his head, and speaking incoherently. At one point, he was heard telling bystanders not to be “late to the party tonight.”
Police confirmed that the man was transported to a hospital at approximately 5:50 a.m. for medical evaluation, including the possibility of a drug overdose. While officials did not name the rapper directly, the timing and location of the incident align with the viral video circulated online.
Lil Nas X, known for his flamboyant persona and genre-defying music, has not yet issued a public statement regarding the incident. His representatives have also remained silent as fans express concern over his health and wellbeing.
The situation remains under investigation, and further details are expected to be released in the coming days.
