Lil Nas X has been hospitalized after he was found roaming around Los Angeles at night and into the early morning. The artist was caught on video by TMZ as he was walking down a Studio City street wearing only his underwear and cowboy boots.

Per NBC4, cops were called at 6 a.m. about “a naked man in the 11000 block of Ventura Boulevard in the San Fernando Valley community.” The man, who was identified by LAPD as Lil Nas X, reportedly charged at officers once they arrived on the scene. Police then requested firefighter-paramedics for a possible drug overdose and Lil Nas was hospitalized.

LAPD said he “threw punches at officers, leading to a use of force by the officers, who forced him to the ground.” The news outlet reports the “Old Town Road” artist is expected to be booked on suspicion of misdemeanor battery on a police officer.

The 2x Grammy winner exploded in popularity in 2018 thanks to his massively successful breakout hit “Old Town Road.” Since then, he dropped off his debut album Montero in 2021 which housed features from Doja Cat, Jack Harlow, Megan Thee Stallion, and more. He also treated fans with an 8-song body of work titled Days Before Dreamboy in March of this year, and he’s expected to share his Dreamboy album sometime in 2025.

Aside from the recent incident, the 26-year-old has fans buzzing after he wiped his Instagram this month. He previewed a song titled “KIMBO” that boasts a feature from Lil Jon. Listen to the snippet below.

Lil Nas X hospitalised for possible overdose after charging at police officers in Los Angeles

Lil Nas X has reportedly been hospitalised due to a possible overdose after charging at police officers in Los Angeles.

According to Rolling Stone, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed on Thursday (August 21) that a man in his underwear was spotted walking down the street in Studio City at 5:50am. Police attempted to approach him, at which point the man charged at them. He was then placed in handcuffs and escorted to hospital to be treated for a possible overdose.

Although LAPD have not named the man, TMZ also shared a video of Lil Nas X walking on the same street in his underwear, speaking incoherently at around the same time.

It is now believed that the rapper – real name Montero Lamar Hill – is being treated in hospital, and could still potentially be charged for a crime by police.

The incident comes just days after Lil Nas X deleted his Instagram history and renamed his account ‘QUEEN MADELINE’. He has since posted a number of images of artwork and shared clips of possible new music.

In April, the rapper suffered partial paralysis in the right side of his face, explaining in a social media post that he had “lost control” of some muscles. A few days later, he said he had regained some of the lost movement, telling fans that he had been instructed to chew gum to strengthen his muscles.

Lil Nas X released the ‘Days Before Dreamboy’ EP in March via Columbia Records. It was intended to be the latest step of a new album campaign that launched in late 2024 with the ‘Light Again’ single, and was then followed by ‘Need Dat Boy’ in November and ‘Hotbox‘.

‘Days Before Dreamboy’ served as a prelude to ‘DREAMBOY’, which has yet to receive a release date but had been expected to arrive sometime this year.

It will be his first full-length album since his 2021 debut ‘Montero’, which included the hit singles ‘Montero (Call Me By Your Name)’ and ‘Industry Baby’ with Jack Harlow.

In a three-star review of that album, NME wrote: “Mostly, it’s refreshing to see Lil Nas X in a different, more reflective light, but in asserting himself so strongly as a Serious Artist, he occasionally forgets about the touch of magic that made him one in the first place.”

Rapper Lil Nas X has reportedly been hospitalized in Los Angeles after suffering a possible overdose.

In a video shared by TMZ, the Old Town Road rapper, 26, was seen in his underwear and cowboy boots, roaming along Ventura Boulevard in the Studio City neighbourhood around 4 a.m. local time on Thursday.

Someone driving by Nas, born Montero Hill, recorded him, while he repeatedly pointed at the camera and at one point, placed an orange traffic cone on his head.

“Hey, don’t be late to the party tonight,” Nas tells the person behind the camera. “You know where it’s at.”

“Didn’t I tell you to put the phone down?” he asks the person. “Uh-oh, somebody’s going to have to pay for that!”

Nas goes on to say that it’s going to be “a beautiful sunrise” and threatens to throw the person’s phone.

“I’m going to throw it far away so you never see it again. I don’t like phones,” he says in the video.

The latest incident follows a separate health scare Nas faced earlier this year.

In April, the That’s What I Want singer revealed that he had been hospitalized with partial facial paralysis, which temporarily affected the movement on the right side of his face. He posted an Instagram video of himself from the hospital bed, telling his followers that he “lost control” of movement in his face.

“This is me doing a full smile by the way,” he said in the video. “I can’t even laugh right, bro.”

The Grammy-winning rapper told his fans that he was OK, adding, “stop being sad for me!”

In 2019, the rapper rose to fame after his breakthrough single, Old Town Road, became a viral hit.

Nas is set to release his upcoming second studio album, Dreamboy, later this year.
