Rapper Lil Nas X was charged Monday in connection with an early morning altercation with a Los Angeles police officer last week.

The 26-year-old “Old Town Road” rapper, whose legal name is Montrero Hill, was charged with three counts of battery with injury on a peace officer and resisting executive officer in the complaint filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

At his arraignment Monday morning in Los Angeles, Hill’s attorney said he has no prior criminal history and there was no evidence of drugs in connection with the arrest. Hill appeared behind a security door as his attorney explained to the judge that he has lived a productive and remarkable life.

He pleaded not guilty.
