LAPD confirmed that Lil Nas X was taken into custody after an altercation with officers and was transported to hospital for evaluation. Authorities have said a possible overdose is being investigated, though no official cause has been confirmed.

The Grammy-winning star, best known for his record-breaking 2018 single Old Town Road and his bold, genre-defying performances, has not yet issued a statement. His representatives have also not commented on his condition.

Lil Nas X has faced health challenges in recent months, including a brief hospitalisation in April due to partial facial paralysis, which he shared openly with fans.

Fans worldwide are anxiously awaiting updates on his recovery.
