Lil Nas X is facing the possibility of years in prison after the Los Angeles County District Attorney filed four felony charges against him, including three counts of battery with injury on a police officer and one count of resisting an executive officer.
The charges stem from an incident on Ventura Boulevard in the San Fernando Valley, where police say the rapper was found naked in public. When officers confronted him, he allegedly charged at them, resulting in injuries to at least three officers.

The charges stem from an incident on Ventura Boulevard in the San Fernando Valley, where police say the rapper was found naked in public. When officers confronted him, he allegedly charged at them, resulting in injuries to at least three officers.
The 25-year-old artist, best known for his record-breaking hit Old Town Road, was arrested at the scene and initially taken to a hospital on suspicion of being under the influence of drugs. He was later transferred to jail and held without bail over the weekend.
On Monday morning, Lil Nas X appeared before a judge and is scheduled to be formally arraigned later today. Bail has not yet been set but is expected to be determined during the arraignment hearing.
The case has shocked fans and sparked widespread attention, given the rapper’s high-profile status and history of controversial public appearances.
