\n\tLil Nas X has entered an inpatient treatment program after being arrested and hit with felony charges for allegedly attacking police officers and resisting arrest while wandering naked in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

\n\tLawyers for Lil Nas (Montero Hill) appeared in Los Angeles court on Monday (Sept. 15), but the 26-year-old musician was notably absent. Judge Shellie Samuels stated that Lil Nas is \u201cin treatment\u201d outside of California.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019re not going to get specific about where he is,\u201d said the judge. \u201cIt\u2019s private, nobody needs to know where he is, but he is in treatment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tJudge Samuels left Lil Nas\u2019 bail at $75,000 and modified the conditions of his release so he can remain out of state. The rapper\u2019s next court date is set for Nov. 18.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter the hearing, defense attorney Drew Findling<\/strong> spoke to press outside the courthouse and said they do not yet know when Lil Nas will be released from treatment. Findling did not specify the nature of his treatment program.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019re doing what is best for Montero from a personal standpoint, and a professional standpoint, but most importantly for his well-being,\u201d said Findling. \u201cHe is surrounded by an amazing family, an amazing team of people that care about him and love him, and we\u2019re just addressing those issues. It\u2019s really as simple as that. He\u2019s had a great life, he\u2019ll continue to have a great life. This is a bump that he\u2019s gonna get over.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tLil Nas was arrested in the early hours of Aug. 21 in Los Angeles\u2019 Studio City neighborhood. The rapper was captured on video wandering the streets wearing only underwear and cowboy boots, and he allegedly charged at police officers who were attempting to take him into custody.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter a brief hospitalization, Lil Nas was booked in jail. He spent the weekend in custody before being charged with three felony counts of battery with injury to a police officer and a fourth felony count of resisting arrest.<\/p>\n

\n\tLil Nas pled not guilty to the charges and was granted bail on Aug. 25. He posted on Instagram the next day, saying the encounter was \u201cf\u2014king terrifying\u201d but assuring fans, \u201cYour girl is gonna be all right.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe rapper had engaged in some other unusual behavior in the days leading up to the naked walk through Los Angeles, including changing his name on Instagram to \u201cQueen Madeline\u201d and posting content of himself in various costumes.<\/p>\n

\n\tLil Nas\u2019 father told news outlets that his son was experiencing mental instability during the incident. Police officers initially hospitalized the rapper for a possible drug overdose, but his attorneys have since stated that they do not yet know whether drugs were involved.<\/p>\n
