What Really Happened When Lil Nas X Was Found Naked on a Los Angeles Street
Kai Montgomery here, reluctantly breaking down the latest surreal chapter in pop culture. Because of course, someone had to explain it. And no, I’m not thrilled about it.
Oh joy. Another bizarre celebrity incident that somehow involves nudity, public disruption, and an LAPD intervention. This time, it’s none other than Lil Nas X, real name Montero Lamar Hill, who was reportedly found roaming the streets of Los Angeles in just his underwear and cowboy boots. Yes, you read that right.
The incident occurred around 4 a.m. on Ventura Boulevard, where multiple witnesses and a now-viral video captured the Grammy-winning artist walking shirtless, wearing only white briefs and boots. According to sources, he even placed an orange traffic cone on his head during the bizarre stroll. TMZ obtained footage showing him in the street, appearing disoriented, before law enforcement arrived on the scene.
When officers responded to reports of a nude man causing a disturbance, things escalated quickly. The LAPD spokesperson confirmed that the individual—later identified as Lil Nas X—reportedly charged at officers before being subdued and taken into custody. He was then transported to a local hospital for what is believed to be a possible drug overdose or medical episode.
Witnesses claim they heard the singer say he was headed to a party, though it remains unclear if this was part of a performance stunt or something more concerning. Either way, the situation took a serious turn when police were forced to intervene.
This isn’t the first time Lil Nas X has made headlines for unsettling behavior or health scares. In April of this year, he was hospitalized with partial facial paralysis, which he later documented on social media with raw, unfiltered updates. At the time, he posted photos of his half-paralyzed face, captioning them with disbelief: “I can’t even laugh right, bro. What the f–k.” Fortunately, he later reported improvement in his condition.
Beyond physical health, Lil Nas X has been open about emotional struggles, particularly after the death of his grandmother in 2018. Speaking to Variety in early 2020, he revealed how her passing triggered anxiety and hypochondria, leading him to self-medicate with marijuana. “It was devastating,” he said. “I’d wake up heart racing. It was scary.”
He also shared insights into his strained relationship with his mother, who he described as an addict. Despite the distance, he emphasized that love still exists between them. “Even trying to get her better — things didn’t quite work out,” he explained. “But there’s still love.”
In the days leading up to the incident, Lil Nas X posted a series of cryptic Instagram images showing a chaotic living space filled with scattered furniture and artwork. One post featured a mirror selfie with the caption: “And just like that she’s back. We’ve all waited so long. When dreamworld needed her the most. ????????✨” Another teased a dramatic persona shift: “OH NO sHES GONE MAD! CRAZY I TELL U! ????????????????????????❤️.”
While fans speculated whether this was part of a new artistic rollout or a genuine breakdown, the reality seems to lie somewhere in between. Public figures often blur the line between performance and personal crisis, and Lil Nas X is no exception.
As of now, the singer may face legal consequences following his release from medical care. His team has yet to issue a formal statement, but given his history of candidness and controversy, it’s likely we’ll hear from him soon—whether through music, social media, or another unexpected spectacle.
So, did anyone really see this coming? If you’ve been paying attention, maybe. But hey, at least it wasn’t another red carpet meltdown. Small favors.
