\n\tA lawyer for Lil Nas X has confirmed the Grammy-winning artist is currently \u201cin treatment\u201d following his arrest for battery of a police officer. <\/p>\n
\n\tLil Nas X, whose real name is Montero Hill, was charged for allegedly attacking police officers and resisting arrest while wandering semi-nude in Los Angeles on Aug. 21. Lawyers for Hill appeared in court on Monday, and spoke with press outside of the L.A. courthouse.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cObviously, you heard the treatment word,\u201d lawyer Drew Findling said in a video captured by Rolling Stone\u2019s Nancy Dillon. <\/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. He is surrounded by an amazing family, an amazing team of people that care about him and love him. 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\tThough his lawyers did not disclose what kind of treatment their client was receiving, Hill was initially taken to a hospital upon his arrest on suspicion of a potential overdose. LAPD responded to calls and complaints that a nude man was acting erratically on the street that morning.<\/p>\n
\n\tHill also addressed the arrest on his public social media accounts; \u201cYour girl is going to be OK y\u2019all. OK? She\u2019s going to be alright, she\u2019s going to be alright,\u201d he assured fans. \u201cShit. That was fucking terrifying. That was terrifying! That was a terrifying last four days, but your girl is going to be alright.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tHill pleaded not guilty to four felony charges and posted a $75,000 bail upon his arrest. His next court date is set for Nov. 18.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
