The sources said some force was used, saying the rapper and singer did not go willingly.

US rapper Lil Nas X has been detained following a clash with police after being found on the streets of Los Angeles in only his underwear.

Hours after the arrest, TMZ published photos that appeared to show the singer walking down the 1100 block of Ventura Blvd. around 4 a.m. wearing only underwear and boots.
