Lil Nas X is making his first statement to his fans after spending multiple days in jail for stripping nude on a major street in Los Angeles and allegedly assaulting police officers.
In a video posted to his Instagram Stories, the 26-year-old rapper said the four days he spent behind bars were ‘terrifying.’
But he also offered a message of hope to his 10.3 million followers, saying he was ‘going to be all right.’
His demeanor was particularly shocking coming after he was hit with four felony charges, including for three counts of battery with injury on a peace officer, which could send him to state prison for up to five years if he’s convicted on all counts.
Nas — real name: Montero Hill — opened his video by declaring, ‘Your girl is gonna be OK, y’all.’
The performer, who filmed himself standing under a balcony outdoors while wearing a lime green cardigan, looked around before honing his eyes back on the camera and adding, ‘She’s gonna be all right.’
‘S***. That was f***ing terrifying! he continued. ‘That was terrifying. That was a terrifying last four days. But your girl is gonna be all right.’
