LOS ANGELES (AP) \u2014 Rapper Lil Nas X was arrested<\/a> and briefly taken to a hospital for a suspected overdose Thursday after Los Angeles police say he charged at officers responding to a report of a naked man walking on a busy boulevard. <\/p>\n

Lil Nas X, whose legal name is Montero Lamar Hill, was booked on suspicion of misdemeanor obstructing an officer and was being held in jail. <\/p>\n

Officers found him walking on the normally very busy Ventura Boulevard in the Studio City neighborhood shortly before 6 a.m., Los Angeles police spokesman Officer Charles Miller said. <\/p>\n

After charging at arriving police, he was taken into custody, but the officers, suspecting a drug overdose, took him to a hospital first, Miller said. There was no further word on his condition, but he was released from the hospital and taken to jail after just a few hours. <\/p>\n

Video obtained by TMZ appeared to show him on the street wearing only underwear and boots. <\/p>\n

He was being held at Valley Jail in Van Nuys, near where the police found him. <\/p>\n

Messages to Lil Nas X representatives seeking comment were not immediately answered. <\/p>\n

The 26-year-old rapper and singer from Atlanta is best known for his huge hit from 2018, \u201cOld Town Road,\u201d<\/a> which merged country and hip-hop. It spent a record 19 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. <\/p>\n

Known for his genre-bending, innovating sounds and style,<\/a> his first full studio album, 2021\u2019s \u201cMontero,\u201d went to No. 2 on the Billboard album chart and was nominated for a Grammy for album of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LOS ANGELES (AP) \u2014 Rapper Lil Nas X was arrested and briefly taken to a hospital for a…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":166362,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5123],"tags":[1582,276,171,10104,57,4353,22017,2961,2936,94778,224,5337,2938,61],"class_list":{"0":"post-166361","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-california","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-ga-state-wire","12":"tag-general-news","13":"tag-georgia","14":"tag-hip-hop-and-rap","15":"tag-la","16":"tag-law-enforcement","17":"tag-lil-nas-x","18":"tag-los-angeles","19":"tag-losangeles","20":"tag-prisons","21":"tag-u-s-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115072213540904132","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166361","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=166361"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166361\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/166362"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=166361"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=166361"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=166361"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
