Lil Nas X has been arrested after an altercation with police, according to multiple reports. Officials confirmed to NBC that the rapper was booked on suspicion of misdemeanour battery after he was confronted while walking down the street in his underwear. The two-time Grammy winner, whose real name is Montero Lamar Hill, had been seen on Ventura Boulevard in the San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles in the early hours of Thursday morning. TMZ shared video footage, in which he claims he is going to a party. After officers arrived on the scene, he allegedly threw punches at the officers and, according to an LAPD statement provided without naming him, the "suspect" was then "taken to a nearby hospital to be treated for a possible overdose". Once he is released he will be charged. No officers were injured. Lil Nas X rose to fame after his track Old Town Road featuring Billy Ray Cyrus became a record-breaking No 1 hit. He also had success with songs including Industry Baby and Montero (Call Me by Your Name). In April, he was hospitalised after experiencing sudden facial paralysis. In a video shared to Instagram, he said he had "lost control" of half his face.
