LOS ANGELES (AP) — Rapper Lil Nas X was arrested 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.
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.
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.
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.
Video obtained by TMZ appeared to show him on the street wearing only underwear and boots.
He was being held at Valley Jail in Van Nuys, near where the police found him.
Messages to Lil Nas X representatives seeking comment were not immediately answered.
The 26-year-old rapper and singer from Atlanta is best known for his huge hit from 2018, “Old Town Road,” which merged country and hip-hop. It spent a record 19 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Known for his genre-bending, innovating sounds and style, his first full studio album, 2021's “Montero,” went to No. 2 on the Billboard album chart and was nominated for a Grammy for album of the year.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Thomas Harley’s goal with just over a minute left short-circuited a late rally by the St. Louis Blues and lifted the Dallas Stars to a 4-3 win on Tuesday night.
Matt Duchene scored a pair of goals for his first multigoal game since Feb. 8. Roope Hintz also scored and Jake Oettinger made 23 saves, as the Stars won for the third time in their last four games and improved to 10-2-1 against St. Louis going back to Nov. 28, 2022.
Brayden Schenn scored twice and Robby Fabbri also scored in the third period as St. Louis attempted to rally from a 3-goal deficit. Jordan Binnington made 20 saves for the Blues, who dropped their fifth straight game.
Duchene’s power-play goal for the Stars at the 3:20 mark of the second period broke a scoreless tie.
Duchene recorded his seventh of the season 40 seconds later with the help of a lucky bounce to make it 2-0. Duchene threw the puck in front of the net, where it deflected off Blues defenseman Logan Mailloux, who was tied up with Jamie Benn in the crease.
Hintz made it 3-0 with a power-play goal with 1:54 left in the second. It is the 15th time this season where Dallas scored multiple goals with the man advantage in a game.
Fabbri scored for the Blues at 3:15 of the third period. It was his first goal since Jan. 28, 2025, when he played for Anaheim.
Schenn scored at 6:22 of the third to cut the Blues deficit to 3-2 before he evened the game with 4:10 left. It was Schenn’s second multigoal game of the season.
Blues forwards Jake Neighbours (lower body) and Jordan Kyrou (upper body) left the game and did not return.
Stars: At Vegas on Thursday night.
