Fans of Lil Nas X were left puzzled and looking for answers after the rapper was arrested in the early hours of August 21. The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed the rapper, 26, was taken into custody after he attempted to "batter an officer." He has since been charged with four felonies. Us Weekly has reached out to Lil Nas X's representatives for comment. The arrest comes months after the rapper reflected on "pretty difficult" months in a video shared via social media in February. "These last few years were pretty difficult for me," he said.
