Lil Nas X Is in ‘Treatment’ After LA Arrest, Lawyer Says

Lil Nas X is currently “in treatment,” with a legal rep saying the two-time Grammy winner is presently addressing unspecified “issues” following his much-publicized arrest.

Speaking with Rolling Stone’s Nancy Dillon on Monday, Sept. 15, X’s lawyer, Drew Findling, noted that he and his team aren’t due back in court for “a couple more months.” In the meantime, per Findling, the focus remains on the overall well-being of his client.

“Obviously, you heard the treatment word,” Findling said Monday, as seen in the clip below. “We’re doing what is best for Montero from a personal standpoint and a professional standpoint, but most importantly for his well-being. He is surrounded by an amazing family, an amazing team of people that care about him and love him. We’re just addressing those issues. It’s really as simple as that.”

Findling continued, “He’s had a great life. He’ll continue to have a great life. This is a bump that he’s gonna get over, and on behalf of him, his family is making sure that he addresses all those issues right now.”

Monday, a Los Angeles judge said X would be allowed to remain out of the state “as long as he remains in treatment.” The type of treatment was not disclosed.

Complex has reached out to X’s legal reps for comment. This story may be updated. In a previous statement, X told fans he was “going to be alright” after the felony arrest, which his father later connected to the unique pressures of fame.

“That was fucking terrifying,” X said at the time.

In August, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced that X, born Montero Hill, was facing three felony counts of battery with injury on a police officer and one count of resisting an executive officer, also a felony.
