Lil Nas X’s family to take dramatic steps to ‘save him’ over fears he’s ‘the next Matthew Perry’

As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but express my concern for Lil Nas X following his troubling late-night breakdown that left everyone, including his loved ones, on edge. We’re all fervently hoping and praying for his wellbeing, and desperately seeking support to help him through this challenging time.

According to a source speaking to The Daily Mail, relatives of the 26-year-old rapper are planning an intervention due to concerns that certain questionable associates could be financially taking advantage of him and potentially endangering his wellbeing by influencing him negatively.

As an ardent enthusiast, I’ve been eagerly awaiting a reply from Lil Nas X’s camp, having reached out to them via The Daily Mail. However, as of now, I haven’t managed to secure that coveted response yet. Fingers crossed for some exciting news soon!

In simpler terms, the famous musician created an unsettling scene when he got taken into custody for assaulting a policeman in Los Angeles. He was spotted strolling along the street wearing only white undergarments and cowboy boots.

Early on, it’s reported that Montero Lamar Hill, professionally known as Lil Nas X, apparently approached law enforcement officials who had arrived on the scene, prior to his transfer to the hospital for custody.

As reported by a reliable source, Hill finds himself in a precarious situation, surrounded by individuals from his past whom he questionably trusts, and potential allies whose intentions might not be aligned with his own.

According to a source, Nas isn’t confident in placing trust with numerous individuals from his past, as they aimed to capitalize on him financially. However, it’s been rumored that even those same people question the reliability of his current companions as well.

It’s been reported that he has been associating with questionable individuals in Los Angeles, and there are rumors that these individuals may be freeloading on him, even residing at his home.

According to the report, Hill’s family is planning to offer assistance as they express concerns that he might have been taken advantage of.

They also referenced commercial pressures that have allegedly weighed on the Old Town Road rapper.

‘His career has been going downhill for a while and it has affected him,’ the insider says.

A once-adored celebrity, whose career experienced an unfortunate downturn, is reportedly being supported by his family in an effort to help him avoid a similar predicament in the future.

According to the source, there’s concern that Hill might face a similar fate as Matthew Perry if he doesn’t get assistance, due to fears about him being taken advantage of.

In October 2023, Perry, who gained fame through his remarkable performance on the classic sitcom Friends, tragically passed away at the age of 54 following an incident where he was discovered unconscious in a hot tub at his residence.

A subsequent autopsy found that his death was primarily caused by an overdose of the drug ketamine, though he also had drowned, suffered from heart disease related to his coronary arteries, and experienced side effects from buprenorphine, which played a role but were not the immediate cause of his demise.

It was found later on that the doctors were administering excessive and improper amounts of ketamine, a drug used in low doses more recently as a potential treatment for treatment-resistant depression, to Perry.

In the past, the actor who portrayed Montero in Call Me By Your Name has experienced complex and sometimes challenging relationships with his family in the public eye.

Last year, in 2021, I came across a viral video on social media that left me utterly heartbroken. It featured a woman, rumored to be Hill’s mother, Shawnita Hathaway, pleading for food on a street corner. The desperation in her eyes, the way she held up that sign, it was a stark reminder of the struggles some people face daily.

Afterward, it was criticized that Lil Nas X did not offer support to his mother when she was experiencing significant financial difficulties, as reported by his fans.

In a now-removed tweet, Hill addressed the recent uproar by saying, “I dislike discussing personal matters, but you all can’t fathom the number of nights I’ve shed tears into my pillow, overwhelmed with guilt as I struggled to find solutions for my mother’s troubles.

He stated, ‘Feel free to portray me as the villain, but remember that there’s more to me than just my online presence. You haven’t truly encountered who I am beyond the digital world.’

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I proudly share that my beloved father, the renowned gospel singer Robert L. Stafford, once took to social media to express his support for me – his son and a rapper. In an heartwarming Instagram post, he shared a photo of us embracing both parents, symbolizing our deep bond and unity.

Despite what some might claim, Lil Nas X is truly a remarkable child that any parent would consider fortunate to have, as Stafford proclaimed. Although his mother battles addiction, this only adds to her regal status in his eyes, and he consistently goes out of his way to ensure her well-being.

Individuals who are facing challenges with addicted loved ones know that no amount of financial resources can fully resolve the issue,” he explained. “Though I typically avoid discussing personal matters in public, I feel compelled to share this perspective.

Previously, he mentioned in an interview with Variety in 2020 that his mother had struggled with addiction and shared that their relationship isn’t the tightest.

‘Although we were making efforts to improve the situation, it didn’t turn out as planned. However, love remains,’ he stated then.

On Thursday morning, Lil Nas X was apprehended for attacking a police officer. The incident occurred when he was spotted strolling down the street wearing only white underwear and cowboy boots. This unusual attire led authorities to believe that he might have taken an excessive amount of drugs, causing them to take him to the hospital for potential drug overdose evaluation.

On Thursday morning, around 6 a.m., Hill was observed acting strangely as he strolled along Ventura Boulevard. He sang loudly, mentioned a party repeatedly, and frequently assumed dramatic poses. According to reports, he then allegedly advanced towards the officers who had arrived at the scene in response to his behavior.

According to confirmation from the Los Angeles Police Department, reported by the Daily Mail, the musician was admitted to a hospital and apprehended for allegedly assaulting a police officer.

Early this morning, approximately 5:50 A.M., our police department received a call about a naked individual strolling along Ventura Bl, around block 11000. When we arrived, the suspect started approaching the officers and was subsequently apprehended.

In my own words, I found myself being taken to a nearby hospital due to a suspected drug overdose. Upon arrival, I was also detained for allegedly assaulting a police officer.

According to both TMZ and People, after being discharged from the hospital, Lil Nas X is now facing charges for battery against a peace officer.

Currently, he’s detained in a local jail within the Van Nuys neighborhood of Los Angeles. At this moment, he remains incarcerated without bond for a minor criminal charge, as reported by TMZ.

The singer was booked at 11:22 a.m., according to a booking report obtained by People. 

According to the LAPD, they arrived at the scene around 6 a.m., but TMZ claims that a video showing Nas walking on the boulevard was captured as early as 4 a.m.

Representatives for Lil Nas X and the LAPD have been reached out to by Daily Mail, however, no immediate response has been received yet.

According to TMZ’s report, residents from the Studio City area contacted the police after spotting Lil Nas X allegedly strolling naked on the streets.

According to Lil Nas X, he got physical with the police officers, leading them to respond with force and ultimately pushing him to the ground, as reported by NBC4, based on information from the LAPD.

None of the officers were injured during the incident, according to NBC4. 

The Montero singer is now receiving treatment at a hospital, according to TMZ. 

In the video taken by a driver at the location, Lil Nas X is seen singing, chatting about a party multiple times, clapping, snapping his fingers, striking various poses, and even asking the person filming to hand over their phone.

He even places an orange traffic cone over his head.  

Hey there, make sure you’re not missing out on tonight’s get-together,” Lil Nas X advises the person off-camera. “You already know where it’s happening,” he continues.

He encourages the driver by gesturing with a wave, motioning him to proceed. “Go on,” he says again.

He later questions, “I didn’t tell you to set the phone aside, did I?” and adds, “Oh dear, someone may have to cover that cost!

He then began to walk down the street, snap his fingers into the air and clap his hands. 

In a different instance, Lil Nas exclaimed, “I’m bringing this to you!” with a strong emphasis. He firmly emphasized, “You had better show up for the gathering!” As he confidently walked down the street, he added, “Is this your favorite? Every side?

He is also shown saying: ‘It’s going to be a beautiful sunrise,’ before stretching out his hand. 

Could you please hand over your phone for a moment? I plan to toss it quite far away, ensuring it’s out of sight forever. You see, I’m not particularly fond of phones.

“Please don’t skip the party tonight! It’s time for you to leave and spread the word about the amazing event. What seems to be the issue?” (Informal tone)

On that particular day, the musician shared numerous posts on his Instagram, which appeared to have been captured within his residence.

In the video, Lil Nas X, wearing a bathrobe, sings and shakes a tambourine next to a collection of assorted objects.

‘FREE THE PEOPLE! NOW!’ he captioned the post. 

In a more casual and friendly tone, the caption for the selfie could be rephrased as follows: “Look at me now! Cowboy hat with a tiara, fur coat… I must have lost my mind!

Earlier, Lil Nas X openly shared that he’s dabbled with various substances, and in 2021, during an interview with WSJ, he divulged that he sampled psychedelic mushrooms for the first time while creating his debut album “MONTERO,” marking a new experience for him.

During that particular moment, the rapper was making his way through California accompanied by producers Denzel Baptiste and David Biral. Notably, these two individuals abstained from alcohol throughout their journey together.

Throughout the day, they chose to sit beside him, engaging in conversations. This led them to unwind in both the swimming pool and hot tub, taking moments to ponder about life.

In an interview with WSJ last year (2021), he expressed that the journey had allowed him to share more deeply, saying, “I was finally able to pen authentic narratives from my personal experiences and incorporate them into my music – something I hadn’t done before.

As a devoted devotee, I can share that in an interview with Variety back in 2020, Lil Nas X opened up about some deeply challenging moments he faced. Among them was the heart-wrenching loss of his beloved grandmother, which he coped with by turning to cannabis for solace and comfort.

‘But then I started feeling more connected with the universe, and taking everything as a sign.’

Four months ago, following a recent event, Lil Nas X had to be hospitalized due to temporary facial paralysis affecting half of his face.

The hip-hop artist shared a video from his hospital bed, detailing the recent events in his life.

In the video, it appeared that Lil Nas X was in high spirits, chuckling, and admitted that he momentarily lost control over one side of his face.

Even though he attempted a smile, only the left half of his face remained immobile and devoid of emotion, yet he could move the affected side of his lips and eye.

In simpler and more polite terms, the American celebrity expressed his condition as follows: “Right now, I’m forcing a smile, but it’s quite challenging for me to do so genuinely. I can’t even muster a laugh at the moment. It’s very unusual and frustrating, I must say.

After the initial sharing, I, as a lifestyle connoisseur, found myself expressing a duality in my persona hours later. I remarked, “Life’s ordinary, yet extraordinary – that’s us.

He stated: “I’m absolutely beat,” which in today’s vernacular signifies feeling incredibly drained, fatigued, or finding oneself at one’s wit’s end regarding a specific challenge or predicament.

In a different post, the rapper reassured his followers, letting them know he’s doing fine, and urged them not to fret over his wellbeing.

He said: ‘Guys I am OK!! Stop being sad for me! Shake Ur a** for me instead! [sic]’

Afterward, he posted a selfie he took at the hospital with the caption: “I’ll make a funny face for a moment, but that’s all.” [sic] (Informal way: After this, he posted a funny-face selfie from the hospital, saying: “Gonna goof around for a bit, but that’s it.” [sic])
