Lil Nas X has reportedly been hospitalized following a bizarre incident in Los Angeles Thursday morning.
The “Industry Baby” rapper, 26, was seen in video obtained by TMZ wearing only white underwear and boots while roaming around Ventura Boulevard around 4 a.m. local time, per the outlet.
When spotted by a fan, he reportedly told them he was headed to a party and put an orange traffic cone on his head, as shown in the video.
Multiple people reportedly called police to report the incident and the Los Angeles Police Department arrived at the scene. The “Montero” rapper allegedly charged at the officers and they subdued him.
