Lil Nas X found himself in handcuffs this week after a bizarre early-morning incident in Los Angeles where he was spotted strolling down the street completely nude. In videos obtained by TMZ, the “Old Town Road” star appeared unfazed by his lack of clothing, confidently singing Nicki Minaj’s verse from Kanye West’s "Monster" while locking eyes with the camera.
The surreal scene unfolded around 5:45 a.m. Thursday, when bystanders reported a nude man wandering on Ventura Boulevard. Police later transported Lil Nas X to a hospital for a possible overdose before booking him into jail. Earlier footage from the same morning shows him in just his underwear and cowboy boots, joking with onlookers, breaking into song, and even placing a traffic cone on his head before ditching the last of his clothing.
Authorities confirmed the rapper was arrested on suspicion of battery on a police officer. He will remain in custody until at least Monday, when he is expected to face a judge for a bail hearing. In the meantime, fans are still buzzing about the viral clips—and some are even bidding on what appear to be the cowboy boots he left behind, now listed on eBay.
