Share

Rapper Lil Nas X has pleaded not guilty to four felonies following his arrest last Thursday after he was spotted wandering Ventura Boulevard in Los Angeles in his underwear and cowboy boots.

The artiste was charged with three counts of battery against a police officer and one count of resisting an executive officer, according to LA Superior Court records.

He was detained through the weekend and was arraigned this morning in front of Judge Sarah Ellenberg in Van Nuys, with bail set at $75,000.

Lil Nas X pleaded not guilty during his arraignment and was freed from jail on Monday afternoon, according to court records. The case will move to pretrial on September 15.

Following reports of his arrest, the Los Angeles Police Department initially did not name him directly, but confirmed to Variety that an incoherent, nude man was taken into custody and hospitalized around 5:50 a.m.

TMZ released footage showing Lil Nas X walking the street in the middle of the night, and over the weekend published footage of him fully nude while rapping Nicki Minaj’s verse from “Monster.”
