LIL NAS X'S BAIL BLUES: RAPPER OPENS UP ABOUT TERRIFYING 4-DAY JAIL STINT AFTER STRIP TEASE AND POLICE ALTERCATION

In a shocking turn of events, Lil Nas X has finally broken his silence about the four-day ordeal that left him behind bars. The rapper, whose real name is Montero Hill, took to Instagram Stories to share a video message with his 10.3 million followers, addressing the drama that's been making headlines for days.

According to sources close to the matter, Nas was arrested and charged with four felony counts, including three counts of battery on a peace officer. If convicted, he could face up to five years in state prison. But despite this serious situation, the Old Town Road sensation seems to be taking it all in stride.

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'

The video begins with Nas declaring, "Your girl is gonna be okay, y'all." He's seen standing under a balcony outdoors, wearing a bright lime green cardigan and sporting a relaxed demeanor. However, as he looks directly into the camera, his tone takes a sudden turn. "S, that was fing terrifying!" he exclaims.

It's clear that the rapper is still shaken by his experience, but he quickly recovers and reiterates, "That was terrifying, y'all. That was a terrifying last four days." The contrast between his calm initial statement and his shocked reaction to his jail stint is jarring, to say the least.

This isn't the first time Nas has made headlines for his antics. In 2020, he sparked controversy with his explicit video "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)" and later faced backlash for his LGBTQ+ pride flag performance at the BET Awards. However, this latest incident seems to have taken things to a whole new level.

But Nas' eyes opened wide and his tone changed suddenly as he said, 'S***. That was f***ing terrifying!'

On Tuesday, Nas was seen leaving court in a blue prison jumpsuit after making bail. His arraignment earlier that day marked the beginning of what's sure to be a long and tumultuous legal battle. Will the rapper be able to bounce back from this latest setback? Only time will tell.

In the meantime, fans are left wondering how this could have happened to someone who's built an entire career on being edgy and unapologetic. One thing is certain: Lil Nas X has a lot to live up to in terms of redeeming himself after this public relations nightmare.

As the rapper continues to navigate this challenging period, one can't help but wonder what's next for him. Will he be able to put this incident behind him and focus on his music, or will the spotlight continue to shine brightly on his personal life? The world is watching with bated breath as Nas tries to pick up the pieces and move forward.

'That was terrifying. That was a terrifying last four days. But your girl is gonna be all right,' he concluded
