American rapper Lil Nas X is looking at a legally tough time. The rapper has been booked in a Los Angeles County jail after he was arrested on allegations of assaulting a police officer. On Thursday (Pacific Standard Time), officers responded to reports of a man "nude in the street" in the 1100 block of Ventura Boulevard, reported 'People' magazine.
