The internet is going WILD after Lil Nas X was arrested in Los Angeles Thursday morning in what witnesses are calling one of the craziest celebrity meltdowns in recent memory.
The “Montero” hitmaker was spotted wandering half-naked through the streets of LA — rocking nothing but his underwear and cowboy boots. At first, people thought it was just another over-the-top Lil Nas stunt… until things got dark.
Witnesses say he was “sweating, yelling, and not making sense” before police showed up. When officers tried to approach him, he allegedly swung at one of them, which led to him being restrained and rushed to the hospital for a suspected overdose.
👀 Celebrity Reactions Blow Up Social Media
As soon as the news broke, fans and celebs alike couldn’t stop talking. Within an hour, hashtags like #PrayForLilNasX and #StayStrongMontero took over X (Twitter).
Cardi B jumped on live, saying:
> “This fame thing ain’t easy… y’all pray for him, man. The industry will chew you up if you don’t have the right people around you.”
Doja Cat posted a cryptic Insta story with just 👀 and a cowboy hat emoji, which fans immediately linked to Lil Nas X.
Jack Harlow, who collaborated with him on Industry Baby, tweeted:
> “Montero’s one of the strongest people I know. He gon’ bounce back from this.”
Even Billy Ray Cyrus, who helped launch his career with Old Town Road, wrote:
> “Prayers up for my brother Montero. The world loves you.”
Fans Split Between Jokes & Concern
While many fans flooded social media with love and support, others couldn’t help but make jokes about the “cowboy boots and underwear” look, calling it “peak Lil Nas X energy.”
Still, the majority are worried. One fan wrote:
💔 “He’s been carrying so much pressure. This ain’t funny anymore, we need him to get better.”
What Happens Next?
Right now, Lil Nas X is under hospital care. Police say he may face charges for public indecency and assaulting an officer, but that could change depending on his medical evaluation.
His team has yet to release an official statement, but insiders claim he’ll remain under observation for at least the next 48 hours.
