The video, purchased by TMZ, was shot by someone rolling along beside the musician in a car. As Lil Nas X struts along the road, naked bar his boots and underwear, he is clearly disturbed. He keeps talking about a party and asking the person filming him to stop.
But the person behind the camera, rather than trying to get him help, just keeps filming. Repeatedly, Lil Nas X asks him to put the phone away.
Eventually, the police were called to the scene. According to the report, numerous people had reported a naked man walking the streets. However, when they turned up to help him, he charged them. He was subdued and taken to a local police station. The officers told paramedics it could be a possible overdose.

The Cause Of The Lil Nas X Crashout
If not a drug overdose, then Montero Hill may be suffering from a mental breakdown. It may just be that the pressures of stardom and the vitriol that goes along with it have become too much for the musician.
There is speculation online that he has had a mental health episode. Walking down the streets of L.A. almost naked sure looks like a cry for help from Lil Nas X. Either way, be it a drug overdose or a mental health episode, he is now in the right place to get the help he needs.
It’s always a shame to see someone in the public eye crash out like this. For most of us, when we go through rough patches, it can be done in relative privacy. But for someone like Lil Nas X, his mostly naked episode on the streets of L.A. is now and forever plastered all over the internet.
