Lil Nas X Admitted His Life Was 'Difficult' Months Before Rapper Was Arrested and Hospitalized for Possible Overdose

Lil Nas X had been candid about the "difficult" time he was going through in the moments leading up to his arrest on Thursday, August 21.

The "Old Town Road" rapper informed his fans about struggles he had been facing back in February — months before cops responded to calls of a man "nude in the street" in the 1100 block of Ventura Blvd in Los Angeles.

After his arrest, Lil Nas X was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment, discharged and ultimately booked for battery on a police officer. He's being held without bail.

Earlier this year, Lil Nas X recorded a video of himself chatting about new music and what's to come career-wise before owning up to being "flaky" and "all over the place."

"These last few years were pretty difficult for me. They have been pretty difficult for me," the "Industry Baby" hitmaker said, according to a video re-shared by a fan account on X.

Lil Nas X seemed to still be focused on making songs and advancing his career, as he declared: "I'm just now, like arriving to this place of feeling confidence in myself and what I'm doing."

"And I'm trying to make sure I put intention towards my music and my vision and the creativity of it all," he continued.

Roughly one month later, Lil Nas X revealed the reasoning behind his decision to step away from the spotlight in recent years.

"I had to experience a mundane life," he explained during an interview with People in March. "I jumped straight into adulthood with extreme fame around me."

Lil Nas X noted: "So it was really nice to be just outside walking and meeting people in the streets and eating at restaurants, just even alone, spending a lot of alone time in solitude."

By April, Lil Nas X shockingly revealed via Instagram that he had been hospitalized with partial facial paralysis after losing "control of the right side" of his face.

The award-winning artist never followed up with an update about what he was diagnosed with.

Fast forward to August 21, someone filmed Lil Nas X strutting down the street in nothing but underwear and a pair of boots. As a result of the incident, several calls were made to police before he was arrested for arrested for obstructing an officer and booked with a misdemeanor at 11:22 a.m.

He was additionally transported to a hospital for a suspected overdose but later discharged and taken into police custody.
