TMZ<\/em><\/a> reported that Lil Nas X (real name Montero Lamar Hill) had been charged with four felonies, including battery with injury on a police officer. At the time, bail had not yet been set, and the rapper was scheduled to be arraigned that same day. Viral footage circulating online appeared to show him wearing a traffic cone atop his head while speaking to himself about attending a party. Representatives for Lil Nas X have not yet commented on the footage.<\/p>\nThis unsettling incident follows a series of personal health challenges for the rapper. In April, Lil Nas X revealed he had recently been hospitalized after losing control of half of his face. Posting from his hospital bed on Instagram, he shared a video with the caption, \u201cSoooo lost control of the right side of my face \ud83d\ude2d.\u201d Attempting to smile, he added, \u201cThis is me doing a full smile, by the way,\u201d and expressed his shock: \u201cI can\u2019t even laugh, bro! What the f***? Oh, my God.\u201d<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, in February, the Montero<\/em> star candidly reflected on the difficulties he has faced over the last few years. \u201cThese last few years were pretty difficult for me,\u201d he said in a video shared via X. \u201cI\u2019m just now arriving to this place of feeling confidence in myself and what I\u2019m doing, and I\u2019m trying to make sure I put intention towards my music and my vision and the creativity of it all.\u201d<\/p>\nLil Nas X\u2019s pretrial hearing is scheduled for September 15. If convicted, he could face up to five years in prison.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
