Reports say the 'Old Town Road' rapper was taken into custody after he was found roaming the streets of Los Angeles in his underwear and cowboy boots.
Rapper Lil Nas X has reportedly been hospitalized in Los Angeles after suffering a possible overdose.
In a video shared by TMZ, the Old Town Road rapper, 26, was seen in his underwear and cowboy boots, roaming along Ventura Boulevard in the Studio City neighbourhood around 4 a.m. local time on Thursday.
Someone driving by Nas, born Montero Hill, recorded him, while he repeatedly pointed at the camera and at one point, placed an orange traffic cone on his head.
“Hey, don’t be late to the party tonight,” Nas tells the person behind the camera. “You know where it’s at.”
“Didn’t I tell you to put the phone down?” he asks the person. “Uh-oh, somebody’s going to have to pay for that!”
Nas goes on to say that it’s going to be “a beautiful sunrise” and threatens to throw the person’s phone.
“I’m going to throw it far away so you never see it again. I don’t like phones,” he says in the video.
According to the TMZ, several people in the area had reported seeing “a naked man” walking in the road. When the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers reportedly responded, they found Nas walking down the middle of the road.
