Lil Nas X Arrest

Lil Nas X is breaking his silence over his arrest and subsequent felony charges ... he says it's been a terrifying few days but he's going to be just fine.

The "Old Town Road" rapper just posted on his Instagram Story, recording a selfie video where he addresses his naked arrest for the first time.

Lil Nas X stares into the camera and declares, "Your girl is going to be OK ... she's going to be alright."

Prosecutors say Lil Nas X allegedly assaulted and injured three police officers as they were trying to take him into custody early Thursday ... and now we're getting a sense of what the alleged injuries include.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... one officer suffered an abrasion on their head, another hurt his hand, and a third suffered a back sprain.

We're told the cop with the alleged back issue went to the hospital for further medical attention and was sent home for a week to recover.

Lil Nas X pled not guilty to the four felony charges against him ... and now he knows what it's going to cost to post bail.

Nas waived his arraignment and entered a not guilty plea Monday ... and a judge set his bail at $75,000 with some drug-related conditions.

Assuming the "Old Town Road" rapper makes bail, he's been ordered to not own, use, or process illegal narcotics. Nas would also have to enroll in an outpatient program.

You might want to hold onto your undies for this one -- Lil Nas X was spotted completely naked before his arrest this week ... and we've got video of the stunning moment.

Check out our clip -- he's strolling down the street while singing after ditching his underwear and boots somewhere in Los Angeles. He seems completely unfazed by his lack of cover ... even making eye contact with the camera as he puts on a show.

And if you didn't notice ... he's belting some Nicki Minaj lyrics, specifically her line in "Monster" by Kanye West.

Lil Nas X is still behind bars after his arrest early Thursday morning ... and now we know he's not getting out until at least Monday.

Authorities tell TMZ ... since the "Old Town Road" singer was arrested on suspicion of battery on a police officer, he needs to go before a judge to have his bail set ... and that ain't going to happen until Monday. Seems there are plenty of others in front of him also looking to bail out ... and Nas ain't cuttin' the line.

We're told this particular charge is an automatic appearance ... and he can't be issued a citation and released, like most misdemeanors ... 'cause "cited out" only applies to nonviolent offenses -- and Nas allegedly charged at police.

Lil Nas X's nearly naked adventure was brewing almost 15 hours before his early morning arrest ... based on a new strange video of him wandering aimlessly around Hollywood!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained this surveillance footage recorded outside the Short Stories Hotel around 1:30 PM Wednesday. Sources at the hotel confirm he was there, although he was not a registered guest.

Still, the video makes it seem like he was going through something -- you see Montero all by himself strolling off the street, and into the hotel's courtyard area.

Lil Nas X's shock arrest Thursday may not have been a shock after all ... there were red flags months before his on-camera meltdown.

In February, a video was reposted to a fan account on X showing the rapper talking about his soon-to-be-released music -- as well as his personal issues. He seems to have scrubbed the OG video from his socials ... unclear when exactly he took it down, though.

Nas kicked things off by explaining that he didn't want anyone to think he was being "flaky" and "all over the place."

Lil Nas X was just booked for battery on a peace officer -- following his late-night escapade that ended with him stark naked and tussling with police officers!!!

TMZ Hip Hop can confirm the "Old Town Road" rapper is currently in custody for the misdemeanor offense at a Van Nuys jail just outside Los Angeles. Nas is currently being held without bail.

We broke the story ... Lil Nas X was spotted by a bystander early this morning wearing nothing but tighty whities and cowboy boots while parading down the middle of a street.

Lil Nas X is hospitalized after a bizarre scene in L.A. -- he was strolling down the middle of a major street early Thursday morning, wearing only his underwear and cowboy boots!!!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained video of the "Old Town Road" rapper nearly naked, and floating aimlessly down Ventura Blvd at 4 AM. Someone driving past him recorded Nas, who repeatedly pointed at the camera and muttered something about heading to a party -- and at one point, he placed an orange traffic cone on his head.

Our sources say others in the Studio City area noticed Lil Nas, and thought the whole thing was weird enough to report it to police. As it turns out, several people in the area had reported to LAPD that they saw a nude man walking in the road.
