Headline: Lil Nas X assault case to be dismissed on completion of mental health programme
Caption: He has been granted entry into a mental health diversion programme by a judge in California. The rapper was arrested for attacking police officers while wandering nearly naked through the streets of Los Angeles in August 2025. In a hearing on Monday, the judge told the Grammy-winning artist, real name Montero Lamar Hill, that the charges may be quashed if he completes the programme and obeys all laws for the next two years. "I'm thankful. Just very thankful," Hill told Rolling Stone after the hearing. "It could have been much worse."
