Lil Nas X was cuffed and taken into police custody last night after he was spotted wandering Los Angeles in nothing but his underwear and cowboy boots.

The singer and rapper — who’s best known for his 2018 smash hit “Old Town Road” — has been hospitalized for a possible overdose.

Early reports indicate that motorists called police after spotting a “nearly nude man” walking down Ventura Boulevard.

Lil Nas X rushed to hospital following late night brush with the law

According to TMZ, Nas was still walking the streets when police arrived on the scene.

The outlet reports that he “charged at” police, at which time, he was subdued, handcuffed, and taken into police custody.

Paramedics arrived on the scene, and police informed them that Nas had suffered a “possible overdose.”

He was taken to a hospital for treatment.

It’s not clear if he has since been released.

What’s next for Lil Nas X?

The good news is that it seems unlikely that Nas will face any charges.

The bad news is, that the situation is obviously an indication of psychological distress and/or substance abuse issues.

Not all that long ago, Nas was one of the most high-profile musicians on the planet.

He has stepped away from the spotlight a bit in recent years, but he remains a popular presence on social media, boasting more than 10 million followers on Instagram alone.

We wish Nas all the best, and we hope that he’ll be able to find whatever kind of help he needs.

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.
