Los Angeles police have arrested American rapper Lil Nas X after he was spotted early Thursday morning walking along Ventura Boulevard dressed only in underwear and cowboy boots.
Authorities said they received a distress call around 5:30 a.m., with witnesses reporting a “half-naked man causing a disturbance.” Responding officers later identified the individual as the Grammy-winning “Old Town Road” star.

According to the LAPD, the 26-year-old allegedly “charged” at officers upon their arrival, prompting his arrest on suspicion of battery. He was later transported to a hospital for medical evaluation amid concerns of a possible drug overdose.
A video clip published by TMZ quickly went viral, showing the rapper moving erratically in the street and shouting at passersby to “come to the party.”
