Lil Nas X is facing four felony charges following his arrest last week in Los Angeles, officials said.

The 26-year-old "Old Town Road" rapper, whose real name is Montero Lamar Hill, has been charged with three counts of battery with injury on a police officer and one count of resisting an executive officer, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office confirmed to USA TODAY.

Lil Nas X pleaded not guilty on Monday, Aug. 25. A judge in Los Angeles set his bail at $75,000 and said the singer must attend Narcotics Anonymous meetings.

USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for Lil Nas X for comment.

The rapper was arrested on Thursday, Aug. 21, just after 6 a.m., Los Angeles Sheriff's Department inmate records show. In a previous statement to USA TODAY, Officer Drake Madison of the Los Angeles Police Department said that officers responded that morning to "a nude man walking in the street" on Ventura Boulevard.

"Upon arrival, the suspect charged at officers and was taken into custody," the LAPD said. "He was transported to a local hospital for a possible overdose and placed under arrest for Battery on a Police Officer." Madison later confirmed the incident was related to Lil Nas X's arrest.

Police said they believed Lil Nas X was using drugs during the incident. But his attorney, Christy O'Connor, said he was not using illegal drugs and described the episode as an aberration for the artist.

Lil Nas X, who has been nominated for 11 Grammy awards and won two, achieved his breakthrough in 2018 with the wildly popular song "Old Town Road," and he released his debut studio album, "Montero," in 2021. His EP "Days Before Dreamboy" debuted in March, and his second studio album, "Dreamboy," is expected to be released later this year.
