ALBAWABA - Lil Nas X, an award-winning rapper, was arrested in Los Angeles after getting into a fight with police.
Thursday at 5:30 a.m. (12:30 GMT), police were called to Ventura Boulevard because someone saw somebody walking down the street in only his underwear, a Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) spokesperson said.
The LAPD say that when they got there, the Old Town Road singer "charged" at them. She was then arrested on suspicion of abuse.

He was then taken to the hospital, where police spokesman Charles Miller said he might have overdosed and needed help. The BBC has reached out to his agents to get their thoughts.
TMZ released an unconfirmed video of the star on Thursday morning. In it, the singer was seen dancing in the street in only his undies and cowboy boots, telling people walking by to "come to the party."
The rapper's highly anticipated second studio album, Dreamboy, is set to come out later this year. He has been teasing his new music on Instagram before the album drops.
Montero Lamar Hill was born Lil Nas X. In 2019, he got a Country Music Association award for his song "Old Town Road." This made him the first openly gay man to win a CMA award.
After 17 weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, the song broke the record for the longest-running number one song. It also got two Grammys.
While the singer was still popular, the music video for his hit song "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)" was called "depraved" and "evil" by Republicans in the US.
The singer replied on Twitter that he wanted the tears of his haters to "fill my Grammy cup" and posted a fake apology video on YouTube that cut into Montero's famous lap-dancing scene.
