Lil Nas X has entered an inpatient treatment program after being arrested and put in jail following a nude public meltdown last month.
As a result the 26-year-old pop star – born Montero Lamar Hill – was not in attendance for a pre-trial hearing in Los Angeles on Monday, September 15.
It was there where his lawyers confirmed that he is ‘in treatment’ at an undisclosed facility in another state according to Rolling Stone.
Daily Mail has reached out to Lil Nas X’s reps for comment and has yet to hear back.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Shellie Samuels modified the conditions of his release as they said: ‘Defendant is allowed to remain out of state as long as he remains in treatment.’
The judge also declared that if Lil Nas X’s ‘treatment changes, and he becomes outpatient, then we’ll talk.’

According to the music publication, the singers lawyer Drew Findling told reporters after the hearing: ‘We’re doing what is best for [Lil Nas X] from a personal standpoint and a professional standpoint, but most importantly, for his well-being.’
The next hearing is set for Tuesday, November 18 as he faces up to five years in prison if convicted according to the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office.
Lil Nas X’s lawyer Findling added: ‘He is surrounded by an amazing family, an amazing team of people that care about him and love him. And we’re just addressing those issues. It’s really as simple as that.
‘He’s had a great life, and he’ll continue to have a great life. This is a bump that he’s going to get over.’
