Lil Nas X was reportedly stopped by police while in Norway.
The US musician shot to fame with viral track Old Town Road in 2019 and has since performed around the world.
He recently drew huge crowds at Glastonbury 2023 ahead of Sir Elton John’s last-ever UK performance, winning major praise for his slot on the Pyramid Stage.
The rapper is now holidaying in Norway ahead of the Slottsffell festival, where he seemingly got into an incident while riding an e-scooter and was talked to by police.
According to local paper Dagbladet, Nas was seemingly among four American tourists who mistakenly rode e-scooters through a major tunnel in Oslo, where the vehicles are not allowed.
The six-lane tunnel was closed briefly after the incident, in which the tourists followed a GPS route into the banned area, however none of the tourists were detained and no arrests were made.
Nas – real name Montero Lamar Hill – appeared to reference the incident on Instagram where he posed with two police officers for a photograph.

He first shared a snap of him looking concerned while standing in a tunnel, writing: About to go to jail in Norway.’
He then followed it up with a photo of him crouching down on the ground while the officers smiled next to him, a police van in the background, writing: ‘Nvm they f*** wit my music.’
Tunnel operations manager Vidar Pedersen told the Norwegian paper police were called when scooters were spotted in the tunnel, at one point attempting to cross the busy road.
Nas’ performance in Norway comes after a festival appearance in Sweden, which made headlines as he had an adult toy thrown at him while on stage.

While singing Down Souf H**s at Lollapalooza in Stockholm, the Grammy winner went all out with the choreography, twerking with a crew of backing dancers.
Everything was going according to plan until the hitmaker was blindsided by a flying object.
Fortunately, he was able to side-step the sex toy but was naturally extremely confused by what had just been launched in his direction.
And in classic Lil Nas X style, he had a hilarious response. Holding up the toy, he asked: ‘Who put they p**sy on stage?!’
