Lil Nas X, born Montero Hill, was ordered by a judge to enter a mental health treatment program for bipolar disorder to avoid felony charges. He must comply with treatment, obey the law, and avoid weapons for two years. If successful, charges of police battery and resisting arrest will be dropped. The case stems from an incident in August 2025 where Hill assaulted police officers. He was diagnosed with bipolar disorder after his arrest and continues therapy. Hill expressed gratitude for the outcome.
