Lil Nas X’s dad, Robert Stafford, has spoken out about the rapper’s arrest and denied that his son was using drugs before his run-in with police.
Stafford was stopped by reporters while leaving a courthouse in Van Nuys, California, on Monday, August 25, and asked whether Lil Nas X, 26, had taken any “illegal drugs” prior to his hospitalization and arrest last week.
“Absolutely not,” Stafford responded.
Stafford also said that his son, whose real name is Montero Lamar Hill, is “in good spirits” and doing “alright” days after he was found roaming the streets in his underwear and attempting to batter an officer when confronted on Thursday, August 21. Lil Nas X was transferred by police to a hospital for treatment. Once released, he was charged and booked.
