Out rapper Lil Nas X, whose real name is Montero Lamar Hill, was hospitalized and arrested last month following a bizarre incident in the Studio City last week.
Authorities responded to multiple calls from residents reporting a man acting erratically and walking semi-nude down Ventura Boulevard. According to a spokesperson for the LAPD, officers found the 26-year-old artist wearing only underwear and cowboy boots.
Video footage showed Hill placing a traffic cone on his head and speaking incoherently. When confronted by police, Hill reportedly charged at officers.
He was taken into custody and transported to a local hospital for evaluation due to concerns of a possible drug overdose. The LAPD later confirmed that he was arrested on suspicion of battery on a police officer and booked into jail after being discharged from the hospital.
