Is Lil Nas X Okay?

The “Old Town Road” rapper was reportedly hospitalized after he was captured on video wandering along the streets of Ventura Blvd at 4 a.m. Thursday morning.

It seems there was a party going on in Lil Nas X’s head Thursday morning (Aug.20) — and hopefully it’s not an indication of something more serious going on.

The “Old Town Road” star was captured on video strutting the streets of Los Angeles alone, runway style, wearing nothing but white underwear and cowboy boots on Ventura Boulevard at around 4 a.m. Footage of the rapper went viral across social media as he yelled through the streets, sang out loud, and struck poses as if he were on a catwalk. 

“Give me that phone so I can throw it,” Nas X told the fan. “I wanna throw it far away so you never see it again,” he teased, biting his finger.

Needless to say, neighbors in Studio City couldn’t look away — and they definitely couldn’t keep quiet. Once people in the area caught wind of a man walking in the middle of the road nearly nude, residents reported the head-turning incident to the LAPD. When authorities arrived, it was reported the star charged at officers before he was subdued, and taken into custody, per Fox11.

Cops flagged the bizarre behavior as a possible overdose, and Lil Nas X was rushed off to a hospital where he is reportedly receiving medical attention.

The internet lost it on this one. Some folks questioned if this was a PR stunt for his album rollout, a humiliation ritual or if the “Illuminati” is scheming on the two-time Grammy-winning star. Others flat out said this is what happens when you “play with Jesus” — a clear jab at his controversial “J Christ” track and infamous “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” lap dance with the devil.

At this time, it’s unclear if the rap star is facing any charges.
