Lil Nas X has been hospitalized for a possible overdose after strutting in underwear and cowboy boots down Ventura Blvd. in Los Angeles early Thursday morning.
At around 4 a.m., the “Old Town Road” rapper, 26, told a bystander, “Hey, don’t be late to the party tonight,” according to cellphone footage obtained by TMZ.
“Go ahead, babe,” the Grammy winner, real name Montero Lamar Hill, told the other man, before continuing to sing and walk along the famed thoroughfare.
In subsequent clips, he strikes several poses and tells the other man, “It’s gonna be a beautiful sunrise. Gimme that phone, so I can throw it. I wanna throw it far away, so you never see it again. I don’t like phones.”
“Don’t miss the party tonight, why are you still here?” he continues. “You need to be telling everyone about the f–ing party. What’s your problem?”
Multiple witnesses reported the erratic behavior to Los Angeles Police, according to TMZ.
When officers eventually caught up with the “STAR WALKIN’” artist, he allegedly “charged” at them, only to be subdued and handcuffed, sources told the outlet.
He was transported to a hospital for a potential overdose, where law enforcement sources say he’s still being treated.
Though Nas could be charged for the ordeal, it’s unclear whether he will be.
Representatives for the rapper did not immediately respond to the Daily News’ request for comment.
Nas was also hospitalized back in April for partial facial paralysis, revealing in a since-deleted post that he’d “lost control of the right side of [his] face” and couldn’t “even laugh right.”
Though the cause has not yet been confirmed, it’s been speculated that Nas may have been suffering from Bell’s palsy, which causes sudden weakness in the muscles in one side of the face and can make it appear to droop. The condition, whose particular cause is not known, is usually temporary and affects an estimated 40,000 people — across age and sex brackets — in the U.S. each year.
