Lil Nas X found himself in a Los Angeles hospital after a strange incident on Thursday morning. The rapper was seen wandering down Ventura Boulevard in just his underwear and cowboy boots, creating a surreal spectacle that caught the attention of passersby.
TMZ Hip Hop acquired footage of the “Old Town Road” star drifting aimlessly along the busy street at 4 a.m. A driver recorded him pointing at the camera, mumbling about heading to a party, and at one point, playfully placing an orange traffic cone on his head like a hat.
Residents in the Studio City area were alarmed by the sight of a nearly nude man strolling down the road. Multiple witnesses contacted the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), reporting the unusual behavior and expressing concern.
When officers arrived, they found Lil Nas X still walking in the middle of the street. According to sources, he charged at the police, leading them to subdue and handcuff him for safety.
Paramedics were called to the scene, and officers suggested the incident might be related to a possible drug overdose. The rapper was promptly transported to a nearby hospital for medical evaluation.
Law enforcement insiders indicate that Lil Nas X could face charges depending on the investigation’s outcome. For now, he remains under hospital care as authorities assess the situation.
TMZ reached out to the rapper’s representatives for comment but has yet to receive a response. The incident has left fans and onlookers speculating about his well-being.
This isn’t the first time Lil Nas X has made headlines for bold behavior. His recent antics, from pouring shots at an album release party to kissing musician Cody Jon in public, have kept him in the spotlight.
The rapper also faced backlash for his “J Christ” video, which drew criticism from Christian artists, prompting an apology from Nas. His unpredictable actions continue to spark conversation.
The bizarre episode on Ventura Boulevard adds to the growing list of headline-grabbing moments for the artist, known for pushing boundaries both musically and personally.
As the story develops, fans await updates on Lil Nas X’s condition and any potential legal consequences from his early-morning escapade.
