Things don’t look good Lil Nas x Area
It’s been a rough few days for the Old Town Road rapper… on Thursday, he was spotted strutting down an L.A. street in the wee hours of the morning, wearing nothing but tights and cowboy boots. Multiple calls were placed to the Los Angeles Police Department regarding the strange scene, and when officers arrived, the 26-year-old pop star reportedly lunged at officers before being subdued. He was hospitalized for a possible drug overdose and was later booked into the Van Nuys Jail outside L.A. on charges of misdemeanor battery on a police officer in the area.

The Rodeo rapper is scheduled to be arraigned later Monday, where his bail should be set. In the state of California, both felony battery on a police officer and resisting arrest are punishable by up to three years in prison. So if convicted, Nas could spend several years behind bars. Oh no! It really sounds like what he needs right now is help, doesn’t it?
