Charges and Bail
Lil Nas X pleaded not guilty to four felony charges following his Aug. 21 arrest in Los Angeles. At a Monday, Aug. 25 hearing, the judge set his bail at $75,000. The charges include three counts of battery with injury on a police officer and one count of resisting an executive officer.
If convicted, he faces up to three years in jail and fines of up to $10,000 for each charge, according to California law.
Rapper Lil Nas X was arrested early Thursday in Los Angeles after police say he charged at officers responding to reports of a nearly naked man walking along Ventura Boulevard in Studio City.
Incident on Ventura Boulevard
Police responded to reports of a nude man walking along Ventura Boulevard just before 6 a.m. on Aug. 21. Officers later confirmed the man was the “Industry Baby” rapper. During the encounter, police allege he struck an officer, leading to his arrest.
Photos published by TMZ appeared to show him earlier that morning wearing only underwear and boots.
Medical Treatment and Booking
After his arrest, Lil Nas X was taken to a hospital for treatment before being discharged and booked into custody later that day. He was formally charged and entered his not-guilty plea four days later.
Recent Struggles and Music Updates
In recent months, the rapper has spoken openly about personal challenges, including health issues and struggles with confidence. In April, he shared from a hospital bed that he was dealing with facial paralysis but reassured fans he was recovering.
Despite these setbacks, Lil Nas X released his EP Days Before Dreamboy in March and has hinted at more music to come.
