Grammy-winning rapper Lil Nas X appeared in a Los Angeles courtroom Thursday morning to face battery charges stemming from an incident with police officers last August.

The 24-year-old artist, whose legal name is Montero Lamar Hill, was arrested in August following an alleged altercation with Los Angeles Police Department officers. Court records indicate he is seeking entry into a diversion program in connection with the battery case.

According to reports from the time of the incident, police encountered the rapper in a state of undress during the August encounter. The specific circumstances that led to the alleged battery charges have not been detailed in court filings.

Lil Nas X, known for hits including "Old Town Road" and "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)," appeared in good spirits as he entered the courthouse Thursday morning. His legal team has not commented publicly on the case.

Diversion programs typically allow defendants to complete community service, counseling, or other requirements in exchange for having charges dismissed. The court has not yet ruled on whether the rapper will be accepted into such a program.
