Grammy-winning rapper Montero Lamar Hill, aka Lil Nas X, has been released from jail after pleading not guilty to all four felonies he was charged with, following a police altercation.

For the unversed, American rapper Lil Nas X, 26, was arrested earlier this week, after he charged at a police officer, who responded to a report of a ‘nude man walking in the street’, on Ventura Boulevard in Los Angeles.

After being hospitalised briefly for a possible drug overdose, the celebrity was arrested for battery on a police officer.
