Rapper Desiigner arrested in domestic violence matter

Desiigner has been arrested in connection with a domestic violence charge.

The rapper, whose real name is Sidney Royel Selby III, was charged with domestic violence in the 3rd degree in Horry County, South Carolina, according to court records obtained by People magazine.

He posted $1500 (£1123) bail on Tuesday.

The arrest came after an alleged incident on 2 March, according to a police report obtained by the outlet.

The alleged victim, the mother of his young child, claimed Selby returned to their home angry. He began to yell and throw the car keys to their shared vehicle.

The woman then attempted to leave, but Selby ripped the keys from her pocket and tore her trousers, she alleges in the report. He then grabbed their baby and put him in a car seat. The alleged victim tried to intervene, and he allegedly threw her to the ground in front of the home, according to the report. She sustained minor scratches on her arm and lower back.

Once authorities arrived at the scene, Selby was no longer there.

Selby was previously convicted in September 2023 for exposing himself on an airline. He was charged with masturbating on a flight from Tokyo to Minneapolis in April of that year.

Authorities confirmed the Panda singer had continued to do so after being asked multiple times to stop by members of the flight crew.

He was sentenced to 120 hours of community service, fined $5000 (£3740) and put on probation for two years.
