Rapper and singer Lil Nas X, whose real name is Montero Lamar Hill, has made his first public comments following his arrest in Los Angeles and a subsequent hospitalization.

On August 21, 2025, police responded to a call in the Studio City area regarding an individual walking wearing minimal clothing. According to authorities, Lil Nas X was subsequently arrested and hospitalized for a possible overdose.
On August 25, he pleaded not guilty to four felony charges: three counts of battery on a police officer and one count of resisting an executive officer. Bail was set at US$75,000, and he has been ordered to participate in outpatient drug-treatment sessions.

His Response

Lil Nas X addressed the incident via Instagram, describing the experience as “terrifying” and reassuring fans that “she’s gonna be OK, y’all.” He did not provide detailed comments about the incident.

What Comes Next

The rapper’s legal team has stated that these allegations are an anomaly in what they described as his otherwise productive life. rollingstone.com+1

Lil Nas X has also announced that he is working on his second studio album, titled “Dreamboy,” with new music already released in promotional form.

Why It Matters

This incident raises both legal and health considerations:

• The combination of the arrest and hospitalisation has drawn public attention to the pressures facing high-profile artists.
• For fans and observers, the fact that Lil Nas X immediately addressed his wellbeing helps shift focus to recovery and accountability rather than speculation.
• From a business/industry point of view, it may affect his upcoming music rollout and public image, though his team appears committed to moving forward.
