Last week, rapper Lil Nas X aka Montero Lamar Hill exhibited some bizarre behavior while roaming the streets of Los Angeles.
TMZ reported that Nas’ behavior was worrisome enough for neighbors in the area to call the LAPD.
The LAPD then arrived on the scene and saw the 26-year-old performer, who allegedly charged at them.
Based on L.A. Superior Court records, Hill has been charged with three counts of battery against a police officer and one count of resisting an executive officer.
Nas X is currently in custody at a jail in Van Nuys.

At his arraignment, bail was set for $75,000. According to the felony complaint, bail was initially recommended for $300,000.
Hill has pleaded not guilty in the case, which will move pretrial next month.
Hours later, Hill was released and spotted leaving jail in his blue jumpsuit. He hopped into a Jeep, which immediately left the area.
Earlier in the day, Hill’s dad Robert Stafford was approached by photogs in downtown Los Angeles. Giving an update on his son, Stafford told TMZ Hip Hop, “He’s in good spirits. He’s alright. He’s very remorseful for what happened… he’s going to get the help that he needs.”
Despite the situation, Stafford insisted that his son is “doing great mentally.”
Days ago, TMZ obtained footage of Nas on the streets of Studio City in nothing but white underwear and boots.
At one point, someone spotted the rapper on Ventura Boulevard and snapped Nas putting a traffic cone over his head. Lil Nas X reportedly said that he was heading to a party.
The superstar rapper has not commented on the incident.
Lil Nas X recently wiped his Instagram clean and had just returned on Wednesday, a day before his bizarre outing.
Along with posting various teasers, Lil Nas X took to Instagram to share a video of himself performing. He wrote on Instagram, “FREE THE PEOPLE! NOW! 🫶🏽🫶🏾🫶🏻🫶🏼”
