Lil Nas X was arrested on August 21, 2025, in Studio City, Los Angeles, after he was found walking nearly naked—wearing only underwear and cowboy boots—and acting erratically. He allegedly assaulted multiple police officers during the arrest, resulting in felony charges including three counts of battery with injury on a police officer and one count of resisting an executive officer. He was hospitalized for a suspected overdose but was released on $75,000 bail with conditions to attend drug treatment programs. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges and faces up to five years in prison if convicted.
