On Aug. 25, Grammy-winning queer rapper Lil Nas X pled not guilty to four felony charges after police claimed he assaulted officers who approached the singer while he was found wandering the streets of Los Angeles in his underwear and white boots, Reuters reported.
The musician (legal name: Montero Lamar Hill) was charged with three counts of battery of a police officer and one count of resisting an officer. He was taken to the hospital for a possible overdose after the incident, per the BBC.
A Los Angeles judge set bail at $75,000 and said the “Old Town Road” musician must attend Narcotics Anonymous meetings.
Lil Nas X became the first openly gay man to receive a Country Music Association award, after he won with “Old Town Road” in 2019. The song also won two Grammys and broke the record for the longest-running top-charting song on the Billboard Hot 100 after 17 weeks at number one.
