“Lil Nas X’s father has spoken out after his son’s recent arrest.
“The two-time Grammy-winning musician, who legal name is Montero Lamar Hill, was arrested and taken to a hospital on Aug. 21 in Los Angeles.

Sometimes God will take you through your worst moment to give you your best moment.
“Lil Nas X briefly addressed the incident on social media, sharing a video on his Instagram story Aug. 26, telling his fans that he was ‘gonna be OK,’ per NBC News.
“The musician’s father, Robert Stafford, also addressed his son’s recent arrest in an Aug. 29 interview with The Sunday Times.
“During the interview, he cited the pressure his son was under to continue to achieve the same level of success in his career, having to provide for his family and his fears about his mother’s struggle with addiction. …
“Stafford said that he was able to visit his son in jail, but when he walked through the door, he ‘couldn’t do anything but cry.’
“‘To see my baby boy on the other side of that glass. We shed tears with each other for a minute,’ Stafford added. ‘And I had to tell him that ‘what you’re going through is normal’. We all have breakdowns every now and then, but the difference is, yours get played out in the public eye.’
“‘Hopefully, this is a turning point in his mental stability,’ Stafford said. ‘Sometimes God will take you through your worst moment to give you your best moment.’ …
“Lil Nas X has pleaded not guilty to the four felony charges.
“In his brief address to fans on Aug. 26, he said, ‘That was terrifying, that was terrifying, that was a terrifying last four days. But your girl’s gonna be all right.’”
