TMZ has been following the story like a hawk, as they usually do. On August 21, they shared footage of Lil Nas X walking around the streets of L.A. wearing nothing but bright white undies and matching cowboy boots.
He would later strip completely naked, which is when the police reports came piling in.
According to the outlet, police reported to the scene, which was when Lil Nas X allegedly charged at the officers. They subdued the star and got the paramedics involved. The working theory at the time was that an overdose of some sort was responsible for his actions.
Although it wasn't confirmed, authorities didn't believe he was sober.
There isn't much reported on Lil Nas X's hospitalization. It is unknown whether he was under any influence or if there were any medical concerns. Either way, he was discharged and thrown behind bars for four days while awaiting arraignment.
Lil Nas X Pleaded Not Guilty To Charges After Arrest
Lil Nas X stood before the judge on Monday, where he pleaded not guilty to his charges. He was facing three counts of battery with injury to a police officer and one count of resisting an executive officer. His bail was a whopping $75,000.
His father, Robert Stafford, said that Lil Nas X was "very remorseful for what occurred." He asserted that he "absolutely" didn't take any illegal drugs. This was backed by his defense attorney, Christine O'Connor, who said there is no evidence of any drug usage.
The rapper turned to his Instagram story after his release to share his thoughts on the situation. "Your girl is gonna be okay, y'all. She's gonna be alright," he said, referencing himself. "That was f--king terrifying."
"That was a terrifying last four days, but your girl is gonna be alright."
Some questions remain unanswered, which I'm sure will come to light soon. For now though, the rapper will be recuperating after a very exhausting week.
