Lil Nas X was reportedly seen roaming the streets of Los Angeles Thursday morning, wearing only white underwear and boots. The 26-year-old rapper was seen around Ventura Boulevard around 4 a.m. local time, per a video obtained by TMZ.
He told a concerned fan that he was on his way to a party and went on to put an orange traffic cone on his head, as seen in the video.
Not too long after, officers from the Los Angeles Police Department arrived at the scene after they were called by people around. The “Industry Baby” rapper reportedly charged at the officers but they overpowered him and sent him to a hospital.
