Lil Nas X hospitalised for possible overdose after charging at police officers in Los Angeles

Lil Nas X has reportedly been hospitalised due to a possible overdose after charging at police officers in Los Angeles.

According to Rolling Stone, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed on Thursday (August 21) that a man in his underwear was spotted walking down the street in Studio City at 5:50am. Police attempted to approach him, at which point the man charged at them. He was then placed in handcuffs and escorted to hospital to be treated for a possible overdose.

Although LAPD have not named the man, TMZ also shared a video of Lil Nas X walking on the same street in his underwear, speaking incoherently at around the same time.

It is now believed that the rapper – real name Montero Lamar Hill – is being treated in hospital, and could still potentially be charged for a crime by police.

The incident comes just days after Lil Nas X deleted his Instagram history and renamed his account ‘QUEEN MADELINE’. He has since posted a number of images of artwork and shared clips of possible new music.

In April, the rapper suffered partial paralysis in the right side of his face, explaining in a social media post that he had “lost control” of some muscles. A few days later, he said he had regained some of the lost movement, telling fans that he had been instructed to chew gum to strengthen his muscles.

Lil Nas X released the ‘Days Before Dreamboy’ EP in March via Columbia Records. It was intended to be the latest step of a new album campaign that launched in late 2024 with the ‘Light Again’ single, and was then followed by ‘Need Dat Boy’ in November and ‘Hotbox‘.

‘Days Before Dreamboy’ served as a prelude to ‘DREAMBOY’, which has yet to receive a release date but had been expected to arrive sometime this year.

It will be his first full-length album since his 2021 debut ‘Montero’, which included the hit singles ‘Montero (Call Me By Your Name)’ and ‘Industry Baby’ with Jack Harlow.

In a three-star review of that album, NME wrote: “Mostly, it’s refreshing to see Lil Nas X in a different, more reflective light, but in asserting himself so strongly as a Serious Artist, he occasionally forgets about the touch of magic that made him one in the first place.”
