Lil Nas X will remain jailed through the weekend following his arrest early Thursday morning, a representative for the Los Angeles Police Department confirms.

This shocking turn of events has left fans and the music industry in disbelief, as the artist known for his groundbreaking hits now faces serious legal issues.

According to the LAPD, whose real name is Montero Hill, Lil Nas X has been charged under “charge 69 (a) PC,” a penal code for resisting or obstructing an officer.

In an email, the LAPD stated, “The arrestee (Hill) cannot be cited out.

It is mandatory that he appear before a judge before he is released. This will happen on Monday.”

Currently, Lil Nas X is being held at Valley Jail in Van Nuys, but details regarding his condition remain unclear.

Representatives for the rapper have not responded to requests for comment, leaving many to speculate about the circumstances surrounding his arrest.

The drama unfolded when TMZ first caught Lil Nas X on camera in the early hours of Thursday morning, walking down the nearly empty Ventura Boulevard.

He was seen wearing nothing but underwear and a pair of white cowboy boots, a striking image that has since gone viral.

In a statement to THR, the LAPD revealed that Lil Nas X had “charged at officers and was taken into custody.”

This alarming behavior led to him being transported to a local hospital for a possible overdose before being arrested for battery on a police officer.

The incident has raised significant concerns regarding the rapper’s mental and physical health, especially considering his recent struggles.

Lil Nas X, who released his ‘Days Before Dreamboy’ EP back in March, has been grappling with health issues throughout 2025.

Back in April, he shared an update on social media revealing that he had suffered from partial facial paralysis.

This condition has seemingly affected his ability to perform and engage with fans, as he was forced to cancel a headlining appearance for West Hollywood’s Outloud pride music festival just a month later.

At the time, the festival organizers stated, “We’ve been in close contact with Lil Nas X and his team regarding an ongoing medical issue.”

The cancellation was attributed to a similar mental health issue, further underscoring the challenges the artist has faced in recent months.

In a statement following his hospitalization, Lil Nas X emphasized the importance of prioritizing his health, saying, “After my recent hospital visit, I – like all of you should – must prioritize my health and getting back to 100%.”

This latest incident adds another layer of complexity to the narrative surrounding Lil Nas X, who has been a trailblazer in the music industry.

His journey has been marked by both triumphs and tribulations, making his current situation all the more concerning.

Fans have expressed their support for the rapper, urging him to take the time he needs to heal and recover.

As the weekend progresses, many are left wondering what the future holds for Lil Nas X.
