Lil Nas X, born Montero Hill, has reportedly entered into an out-of-state inpatient treatment program after being arrested on four felony counts late last month. This caused him to miss his pre-trial hearing on Monday (Sept. 15) in Los Angeles.
According to reports from Rolling Stone and Billboard, the Grammy winner’s attorney confirmed he was seeking treatment at an undisclosed facility. Per Rolling Stone, Hill’s attorney Drew Findling told reporters, “We’re doing what is best for [Lil Nas X] from a personal standpoint and a professional standpoint, but most importantly, for his well-being.”
Findling added, “He is surrounded by an amazing family, an amazing team of people that care about him and love him. And we’re just addressing those issues. It’s really as simple as that. He’s had a great life, and he’ll continue to have a great life. This is a bump that he’s going to get over.”

Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Shellie Samuels, in turn, adjusted the conditions of Hill’s release. “Defendant is allowed to remain out of state as long as he remains in treatment,” said Judge Samuels. The judge also noted that if Hill’s “treatment changes, and he becomes outpatient, then we’ll talk.”
The next hearing is set for Nov. 18. If convicted, Hill is facing up to five years in prison.
Hill was arrested just before 6 a.m. on Aug. 21 after local authorities responded to calls of him allegedly walking the streets of Los Angeles naked. When police arrived on scene, Hill allegedly used “force and violence [to] inflict an injury” upon three police officers. The complaint stated that he “did unlawfully attempt by means of threats and violence to deter and prevent [a fourth officer] from performing a duty imposed upon such officer by law.”
Hill appeared before a judge on Aug. 25, waived his arraignment, and pleaded not guilty to three counts of battery with injury on a police officer and one count of resisting an executive officer. His bail was set at $75,000 and he was required to attend four Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings per week. He was released from jail the same day.
The following day, he addressed the incident on Instagram and assured fans: “Your girl is gonna be okay, boo. Okay? S**t’s gonna be all right.”
