Lil Nas X

The 'Old Town Road' star has issued his first statement after he was hospitalized and arrested for battery on a police officer.

“Give him the same grace and mercy that God gives everyone.”

Lil Nas X was arraigned on four felony charges on Monday in California.

The 'Old Town Road' singer was arrested for battery after being taken to the hospital last Thursday (Aug. 21.)

The bizarre incident happened around 4AM on Thursday.

Country music has been more popular than ever over the last decade.

Country music sure has been busy since the year 2000! Here are all of the highs and lows.

Even though country performances have been sparse at VMAs past, they've been big ones.

Lil Nas X says he felt a little embarrassed by his big hit — but these days, he's got a different perspective.

Let him explain.

"Old Town Road" is just the tip of the iceberg. Here are the most memorable 30 country rap songs, ever.

The cover has scored nearly two million views but Parton's was the one that mattered.

He's clearly a fan!

Ty Herndon and Billy Gilman made headlines in November 2014 by revealing they were gay within hours of each other ... but they weren't the first country artists to make such an announcement.

No matter what age you are, chances are that this new book from Lil Nas X is going to make you smile.

That wasn't the only surprise appearance the rapper had in store.

Including moments from Blake Shelton, Tanya Tucker and Dan + Shay.

Mason Ramsey and BTS are two more promised guests but others are expected.

At the 2020 Grammys, "Old Town Road" is up for three awards: Record of the Year, Best Pop Duo / Group Performance and Best Music Video.

Many of 2019's biggest moments and best news stories took shape onstage: at major festivals, in dive bars and at the Mother Church of Country Music.
