Grammy-winning musician Lil Nas X has pleaded not guilty to multiple felony charges after an incident in Los Angeles. The artist, known for his hit "Old Town Road," allegedly assaulted officers while wandering the streets in his underwear.

A Los Angeles judge set Lil Nas X's bail at $75,000 and mandated that the singer attend Narcotics Anonymous sessions. Police officers at the scene believed the musician was under the influence of drugs at the time.

However, Lil Nas X's attorney, Christy O'Connor, insisted that the singer was not using illegal substances and described the episode as an unusual occurrence in his life. The charges include three counts of battery against a police officer and one count of resisting arrest.
