On Wednesday, March 25, The Shade Roomlearned that Desiigner was taken into custody in Horry County, South Carolina, on the evening of Monday, March 23. Furthermore, Desiigner was reportedly brought in on domestic violence charges. Then, by Tuesday, March 24, he was reportedly released.

As The Shade Room previously reported, in April 2023, Desiigner made headlines for speaking out after exposing himself during an international flight. At the time, he explained that he had been struggling with his mental health for “months.”
“While overseas for a concert I performed at, I had to be admitted to a hospital, I was not thinking clearly. They gave me meds and I had to hop on a plane ride home,” he posted on social media at the time. “I am ashamed of my actions that happened on that plane. I landed back to the States and am admitting myself in a facility to help me…”
Later that month, Desiigner was charged with indecent exposure. By September of that year, the charge was reportedly lowered to a federal misdemeanor. Then, the following year, Sidney Royel Selby III reflected on the incident, per The Shade Room.
In 2025, Desiigner reportedly welcomed a baby with a woman named Joyce Bryant. At this time, the status of their relationship remains unclear.
