Award-winning rapper Lil Nas X has been arrested after an altercation with police in Los Angeles.
A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department LAPD said police were called to Ventura Boulevard on Thursday after reports of a man walking down the street in his underwear.
After officers arrived at the scene, LAPD allege the Old Town Road singer "charged" at them and was placed under arrest on suspicion of battery.
He was then taken to hospital for treatment for a possible overdose, police spokesman Charles Miller said.
Unverified video of the star on Thursday morning was published by celebrity website TMZ, which featured the singer dancing in the street in just his underwear and cowboy boots, and inviting people passing by to "come to the party".
The rapper is expected to release his much-anticipated second studio album Dreamboy later this year, teasing his new music on Instagram ahead of the drop.
