The legal drama surrounding Lil Nas X is getting even more serious. Prosecutors now allege the Grammy-winning rapper not only caused chaos during his butt-naked arrest in L.A., but that he also left three police officers injured in the process.
According to law enforcement sources, the “Old Town Road” star faces four felony charges, including three counts of battery with injury on a police officer.
Details of the Alleged Injuries
Authorities say:
- One officer suffered an abrasion on their head.
- Another sustained an injury to his hand.
- A third was diagnosed with a back sprain and required hospital care.
That officer was reportedly sent home for a week to recover.
The Naked Arrest That Stunned L.A.
As TMZ first reported, the bizarre incident unfolded early Thursday morning on Ventura Blvd. in Studio City. Lil Nas X was allegedly wandering the street completely naked at 4 a.m. when LAPD officers were called to the scene.
When they approached, prosecutors say the rapper charged at officers, resulting in the alleged altercation that left three cops injured.
No Taser, But “Firm Grip” Used
Despite speculation online, law enforcement sources confirm that no Taser was used in the arrest. References to “use of force” on police scanners reportedly referred to officers applying a “firm grip” while restraining the rapper.
Facing Four Felony Charges
Following the arrest, prosecutors hit Lil Nas X with:
- 3 felony counts of battery with injury on a police officer
- 1 felony count related to resisting arrest
The rapper has since pleaded not guilty to all charges.
He was released from custody after posting $75,000 bail and later addressed fans on Instagram, calling the experience “terrifying” but assuring them he’s “going to be alright.”
Fans React to the Wild Allegations
Social media exploded with reactions once details of the officers’ injuries emerged:
- “This is beyond wild. Naked at 4 a.m. and now facing felonies???”
- “Hope he gets the help he needs — this sounds scary.”
- “LNX always finds himself in headlines… but this is next-level.”
While some fans expressed concern for his well-being, others speculated about how the charges might impact his music career and public image.
What’s Next for Lil Nas X?
With multiple felonies on the table, the 25-year-old superstar could face serious consequences if convicted. Still, his confident plea and legal team suggest he’s gearing up for a strong defense.
For now, Lil Nas X remains out on bail, back on social media, and keeping fans updated as this high-profile legal saga unfolds.
