Norwegian police stop Lil Nas X for riding electric scooters in Oslo tunnel

Lil Nas X and three other American individuals were reportedly halted by Norwegian police when they decided to ride electric scooters through a tunnel in Oslo.

After the police intervened, the tunnel was temporarily closed, although none of the scooter riders faced charges or detainment, according to a statement by the police department on Twitter on Tuesday. 

The authorities explained that the group of riders had mistakenly followed a GPS route into the tunnel on Monday night and occupied "a significant portion of the roadway," requiring lane closures.

"They apologized. We have escorted them out," added the police department, as reported by the Associated Press.

While the police department did not officially confirm Lil Nas X's involvement, Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet claimed that the 24-year-old artist was among the group of tourists.

Rolling Stone mentioned that the singer of "Montero" later posted photos on Instagram, including some taken inside the tunnel. One photo was accompanied by the caption "about to go to jail in Norway."

In a subsequent post, Lil Nas X shared an image in which he posed alongside two police officers, captioning it, "nvm they f— wit my music."

Lil Nas X is currently in Norway to perform at the Slottsfjell festival this week.
