Officers reportedly told paramedics that it was a potential overdose and Nas was taken to hospital, where he is said to still be undergoing treatment. The Mirror have reached out to Lil Nas X's representatives for comment.

Lil Nas X rose to fame five years ago with his hit track Old Town Road, but he has been enjoying taking a step back from the spotlight recently. Earlier this year, he filmed himself in New York.

Alongside the clip, he wrote: "How it feels to be in my flop era and finally be able to exist as a human being again." Earlier this year, Nas opened up about the "chaos" in his life - insisting he's trying to embrace it.

He told Paper magazine: "I found peace in stopping to try to control it. I’m trying to do what I can, where I can. If I show up as myself, maybe that'll help other people like me do the same."

Nas spent some time in New York and said being alone and "completely isolated" was good for him. He explained: "I was finally alone for the first time in my career, completely isolated, just myself and my thoughts and my feelings. I definitely had to do a lot of unpacking and understand the reason why I did a lot of things — not to judge myself and be like, Oh, that was a bad thing, because for me a lot of s**t is neutral. You take whatever you want from it, right?"

In an interview last year, Nas explained the person he most admired was himself. He said: "I have to say myself, because I know everything that he’s been through and still continues to go through. I admire him. So I vote me – I like him."
