Lil Nas X in court after underwear incident

Lil Nas X appeared in court after last week's bizarre Studio City incident where the "Old Town Road" singer was in his underwear and cowboy boots.

LOS ANGELES - "Old Town Road" rapper Lil Nas X is facing felony charges following his bizarre stroll through the Studio City area along Ventura Boulevard wearing nothing but his underwear and cowboy boots. 

Officers who responded to the scene believed he may have overdosed. 

What we know:

On Monday, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office announced the rapper, born Montero Hill, was charged with three felony counts of battery with injury on a police officer and one felony count of resisting an executive officer.

He appeared in a Van Nuys courtroom where he pleaded not guilty to the charges. 

His bail was set at $75,000, and he was directed to return to court on Sept. 15, when a hearing will be scheduled to determine if there is enough evidence for him to stand trial. If convicted as charged, he faces up to five years in state prison.

What they're saying:

"He's in good spirits, he's alright, he's very remorseful for what happened. It can happen in any family. He's going to get the help he needs and just keep him in your prayers. Give him the same grace and mercy that God gives everyone," the rapper's dad said outside the courthouse. 

The backstory:

On Thursday, Aug. 21, video posted to social media and obtained by TMZ showed the rapper roaming in the San Fernando Valley along Ventura Blvd. without his shirt and a pair of pants. 

At one point, the 26-year-old was seen placing an orange traffic cone on top of his head. Several people reported the sighting to police.

Arriving officers with the Los Angeles Police Department alleged the rapper charged at them when attempting to make contact. 

He was taken to an area hospital for a possible overdose and upon his release, he was arrested.
