Lil Nas X Spotted Roaming L.A. Street at 4 am; Hospitalized for Possible Overdose

Lil Nas X was spotted roaming a major street in L.A. at 4 am, acting a bit weird, according to people who saw him.

Video of the “Old Town Road” rapper floating aimlessly down Ventura Blvd around 4 AM, almost nude, was obtained by TMZ. Nas was caught on camera by someone passing by him. He kept pointing at the camera and mumbled something about going to a party, and at one point he even put an orange traffic cone on his head.

According to TMZ sources, additional people in the Studio City neighbourhood saw Lil Nas and decided it was strange enough to call the police. It turns out that this was reported to LAPD as a potential overdose by a number of local residents.
