Did Lil Nas X’s mom react to rapper’s potential overdose? Viral video sparks concern online

Montero Lamar Hill, better known as Lil Nas X, sparked controversy recently after he was spotted walking down the middle of a street in LA, wearing nothing but white underwear and cowboy boots.

TMZ was first to report the news while publishing an exclusive video taken by a bystander. The 26-year-old rapper was later charged with battery following an alleged altercation with a police officer and hospitalized for a potential overdose, according to the outlet. 

While many internet users have commented differently on the incident and the video of Lil Nas X, his mother has also reacted to the viral video featuring the rapper. A conversation with Tamekia Hill was recently featured on the YouTube channel of Atlanta Street Interviews. 

When the interviewer asked Lil Nas X’s mother about her son’s recent controversy and video, Tamekia responded that someone had already told her. The YouTuber showed her the video, to which she reacted by calling Nas “my doobie.” The rapper’s mother also affectionately remarked: 

“Get it Doobie, I'mma whoop your behind [...] I'mma whoop your ass.” 

When asked further, Lil Nas X’s mother reiterated she’s gonna “whoop his behind.” The YouTuber mentioned the potential overdose, but Hill asserted:

“I don't judge my son.”

She talked about getting upset with Lil Nas when he came out as gay to his father before her. She said: 

“When you could have told your mother before you [...] told your dad [...] but you told your daddy first.”

When the interviewer mentioned the recent controversy again, Hill said: 

“It upset me, but one thing about it, I love him for who he is. He's my baby. He's my last kid.”

The YouTuber further asked her whether she blamed herself for what Lil Nas X had been through. Hill agreed, but also claimed: 

“But he can never go down the same road I've been down. [...] one thing about it. God is good all the time but we’re not good in him. We walk by faith, not by sight.”

She concluded by expressing that she is proud of Lil Nas X. For those unaware, after his parents’ divorce, the rapper remained with his mother and grandmother until he was nine, before moving in with his father.
