Lil Nas X was filmed showering a male stripper with stacks of cash at a well-known West Hollywood club this past weekend, marking a high-profile public appearance for the rapper following recent legal challenges. The "Old Town Road" artist was seen at The Abbey on Saturday night, where witnesses say he repeatedly approached the stage to distribute large sums of money to dancers during their performance.

According to footage obtained by TMZ, the Grammy-winning artist spent a significant portion of the night focused on the club’s entertainment. Witnesses reported that while three dancers were performing on stage, Lil Nas X showed particular interest in one specific performer.
The rapper reportedly made several trips between the stage and the bar, where a bartender was tasked with overseeing his bundles of cash. Between sets, the artist was seen waiting at the bar and eating gummy candy while staff prepared more money for him to distribute.

Lil Nas X's Recent Legal History
The outing comes just weeks after the rapper reached a plea deal concerning a highly publicised incident from the previous year. In 2025, Lil Nas X was arrested in Los Angeles after a series of erratic public behaviours, which included wandering the streets partially unclothed and allegations of battery against three police officers.
As part of the recent legal resolution, the artist entered a mental health diversion program. His appearance at the West Hollywood venue suggests a return to the social scene, though the evening remained confined to the interior of the club, unlike his previous public disturbances.
Official Response
The rapper’s legal team has remained quiet regarding the recent video. When contacted for a statement, his attorney, Christy O’Conner, declined to comment on the evening's events or the artist's current status.
