Lil Nas X said Tuesday that his arrest and jail time were "terrifying," in his first public comments since he was charged with attacking Los Angeles police officers. The 26-year-old rapper and singer whose legal name is Montero Lamar Hill pleaded not guilty to four felony counts on Monday and was released on bail after spending the weekend in jail, per the AP. In a video posted to Instagram, he smiled and shook his head in disbelief as he said "these last four days have been terrifying." But he added with a laugh, speaking of himself, that "Your girl is going to be OK. She's going to be alright." He did not address any specifics about what happened, and his representatives have not responded to requests for comment.
Authorities said the "Old Town Road" singer was walking naked down a major street in LA's San Fernando Valley, and charged at police officers who were responding to calls about him. A criminal complaint says three officers were hurt, and he was charged with three felony counts of battery with injury on a police officer along with one count of resisting an executive officer. Lil Nas X pleaded not guilty in a court appearance and was released on $75,000 bail on the condition that he attend drug treatment regularly. His lawyer told a judge Monday that the allegations are an "absolute aberration" in an otherwise "remarkable" life. He's set to return to court on Sept. 15 for his next pre-trial hearing.
