Lil Nas X has entered an out-of-state treatment facility following his arrest last month.<\/span><\/p>\n

The news was announced by the singer’s legal representation during his court hearing on Monday (15 September).<\/span><\/p>\n

According to <\/span>Rolling Stone<\/span><\/a><\/em>, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Shellie Samuels approved Lil Nas X’s absence, revealing that she had adjusted the terms of his release to fall in line with his out-of-state care. <\/span><\/p>\n

“Defendant is allowed to remain out of state as long as he remains in treatment. [If his] treatment changes, and he becomes an outpatient, then we’ll talk,” Samuels added.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to adjusting the terms of the rapper’s release, the judge sealed off the details regarding his treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Following the court hearing, one of Lil Nas X’s lawyers, Drew Findling, shared a statement to reporters about the new development. <\/span><\/p>\n

“You heard the “treatment” word. We’re doing what is best for Montero from a personal standpoint and professional standpoint, but most importantly, for his well-being,” Findling said.<\/span><\/p>\n

“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.”<\/span><\/p>\n
