Police officers claim the naked rapper charged at them during an early morning encounter in Los Angeles on August 21.

Lil Nas X has been charged with multiple felonies after he was found walking naked through the streets of Los Angeles last Thursday. 

Police say that the rapper, 26, whose real name is Montero Lamar Hill, charged at them during the early morning encounter on August 21. The Los Angeles district attorney has now charged Hill with three counts of battery with injury on a police officer and one felony count of resisting an executive officer, the Associated Press reports.

Lil Nas X’s bail set at $75,000, ordered to attend NA meetings

According to officers, they found the unclothed “Old Town Road” rapper walking down Ventura Boulevard in LA’s Studio City neighborhood. When they confronted him, he allegedly charged at them. He was arrested and taken to a hospital for a possible overdose. Hill was subsequently taken to jail, and he’s been behind bars since then. 

Lil Nas X made his first court appearance on Monday. He pleaded not guilty. His bail has been set at $75,000. A judge also ordered him to attend Narcotics Anonymous meetings after his release. 

TMZ was the first to report the news of the strange incident. On Thursday, the outlet shared a video of the Grammy winner walking down the street wearing his underwear and cowboy boots while talking with the person who was recording. Later, another video seemed to show Hill completely naked.  

TMZ also obtained footage of Hill’s court hearing on Monday. He appeared emotional as he appeared before a judge, with his lawyer arguing that the arrest was an “aberrant incident” for Hill, who has had no prior run-ins with the law or a history of violence.

“We’re not going to let one little event change the trajectory of this amazing life,” his attorney Drew Findling said after the hearing. “So we’re going to jump on this as quickly as possible.” 

“Don’t judge somebody by the worst moment of their life,” he added.
