Lil Nas X’s father, Robert Stafford, shared details of his son’s dramatic “breakdown” and arrest in emotional new comments.

“I went to visit him in jail, and as soon as I walked through that door, I couldn’t do anything but cry,” Stafford told the Sunday Times in an interview published Friday.

“To see my baby boy on the other side of that glass. We shed tears with each other for a minute,” he continued.

Stafford recalled telling his son, 26, that “‘what you’re going through is normal. We all have breakdowns every now and then, but the difference is, yours played out in the public eye.’”

He also recalled the rapper, whose real name is Montero Lamar Hill, expressing remorse for the incident, which took place in Los Angeles in the wee hours of Aug. 21.

“When I went to visit he asked me to say, ‘tell everybody I’m sorry they saw me like that,’” he continued. “Even in that moment, he was apologizing to people for something he was going through.”

A rep for the rapper did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

The Atlanta born hitmaker was caught on camera dancing and singing down Ventura Boulevard last Thursday in footage initially obtained by TMZ.

In one bystander clip, the Grammy Award winner was seen wearing nothing but white underwear and white cowboy boots. Hill reportedly told a fan he was on his way to a party before placing a traffic cone on his head.

In another, he stripped down to nothing while singing Nicki Minaj’s lyrics from Kanye West’s 2010 hit “Monster.”

A public information officer told Page Six at the time that witnesses notified the Los Angeles Police Department of the sighting. Law enforcement arrived at the scene around 5:50 a.m local time — after which, they alleged, the rapper “charged” at the officers as they attempted to detain him.

He was subsequently “taken into custody” and “transported to a local hospital for a possible overdose.”

A source told NBC News that the “Industry Baby” artist punched an officer twice in the face during the encounter, leading to an arrest for misdemeanor battery on a police officer.

Hill — who was seen earlier that day wandering the grounds of a Los Angeles hotel shirtless — was reportedly charged with four felonies, including resisting an executive officer and battery with injury on a police officer following the San Fernando Valley incident, according to The Post.

The star pleaded not guilty to the charges, subsequently posting $75,000 bail after spending a weekend in jail. He was released on Monday after a Los Angeles judge ordered him to attend rehab meetings.

The rapper agreed to the terms.

The bemused “Old Town” musician later took to social media to call the ordeal “f–king terrifying.”

“But your girl’s gonna be alright,” he reassured fans.
