Lil Nas X, the owner of the hit 'Old Town Road', exposed his entire body, and frolicked at 4am on the boulevard

Owner of the billion-view hit 'Old Town Road' Lil Nas X was controlled by police, suspected of being on drugs after walking in the middle of the street wearing only white underwear and a traffic cone on his head.

In the video shared by TMZ, Lil Nas X is seen almost completely naked, prancing around Ventura (Studio City, Los Angeles) at 4am. The 26-year-old rapper is seen wearing white cowboy boots, and at one point picks up an orange cone and puts it on his head. He points to the camera of a passing car and mumbles something about going to a party. Occasionally, he stops to do a few dance moves and then continues walking.

According to the source, some residents witnessed this scene and found it unusual so they reported it to the police. The Los Angeles Police Department also said that they received many calls reporting a man wandering naked in the middle of the street.

When police arrived, Lil Nas X continued to walk in the middle of the street. He suddenly charged at the officers, who restrained him and handcuffed him. Police later informed paramedics that it was a possible overdose and the rapper was quickly taken to the hospital. NBC News reported that Lil Nas X "punched an officer twice in the face" during the confrontation. The rapper is now facing charges of 'physically assaulting' a police officer.

Lil Nas X has yet to comment on the incident. Public records show that Lil Nas X is being held at the Van Nuys Jail, according to Page Six. Bail has not been set.

Notably, Lil Nas X once shared that he suffered from paranoia after his grandmother's death in 2020 and used illegal substances. In April, the male rapper was hospitalized for facial paralysis.

In February, Lil Nas X shared a video discussing his music and upcoming plans. In it, the rapper admitted that he was distracted and uncertain: "The last few years have been really hard for me."

Lil Nas X was born in 1999, is an American rapper and songwriter. From an unknown young artist, Lil Nas X became a global star at the age of 20. A year before becoming famous, Lil Nas X - a freshman at the University of West Georgia, dropped out of school to focus on music. He even left home, lived in his sister's apartment and earned his own money when his parents opposed his decision to drop out of school. However, the first tunes he posted went unnoticed.

Not giving up, that same year, the young man stumbled upon a melody on an online music store. "When I heard the melody, I imagined a lonely cowboy running away. From another perspective, this was similar to what I experienced," he said. He bought the melody for $30 and turned it into a global hit.

Lil Nas X wrote the lyrics for his first self-written song, wanting something short but catchy. After recording for an hour for $20 at Atlanta Studio, Lil Nas X began preparing little by little for his brainchild to become famous. Thanks to social media platforms, the male singer created more than 100 memes (an image, audio clip, video... that goes viral on the Internet) to promote Old Town Road since late 2018. By March 2019, the song entered the Billboard Hot Country Songs list thanks to its popularity on TikTok. Time assessed that the rise of Lil Nas X represents a new path of music production, thanks to social media and online music.

Lil Nas X released the hit song Old Town Road featuring country star Billy Ray Cyrus. The hip-hop and country track broke Billboard Hot 100 records by staying at No. 1 for 19 consecutive weeks and reaching 1.4 billion views on YouTube. The hit also helped the Gen Z artist win numerous awards, including two Grammys in 2020 and helped him be named one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people in the world in 2021.

Lil Nas X then continued to make a name for himself with his debut album Montero (2021), with hits like Montero (Call Me By Your Name) and Industry Baby. In addition to his music, he has also attracted attention for his bold, unconventional fashion style and often makes a mark on the red carpet. Lil Nas X is also known as one of the young artists who is openly gay, contributing to changing prejudices in the entertainment industry.

The Old Town Road hitmaker doesn't feel pressured by prejudice, saying he has learned to cope with his emotions in many situations, managing his sadness and anger. "I can't choose how I feel, but I can choose how I react. I've learned to let negative comments not affect me."
