Desiigner Charged for Allegedly (censored) on a Flight: Examining the Pressures and Challenges of Fame
So Allegedly , Desiigner, the American rapper known for his hit song “Panda,” has been officially charged with a misdemeanor for allegedly masturbating on a flight from Paris to New York in 2018. The incident caused alarm among fellow passengers and led to Desiigner’s arrest upon landing.
The charge against Desiigner, whose real name is Sidney Royel Selby III, comes after a lengthy investigation by the FBI and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Desiigner was initially arrested in September 2018, but the charges were dropped after he completed community service and agreed to stay out of trouble for six months.
However, the case was reopened in 2021, leading to the recent charge. If convicted, Desiigner could face up to one year in prison and a fine of up to $1,000.
The incident on the flight caused alarm among fellow passengers, who reported seeing Desiigner exposing himself and masturbating in his seat. Flight attendants attempted to calm him down, but he reportedly continued to act erratically throughout the flight.
Upon landing, Desiigner was arrested by Port Authority police and charged with disorderly conduct and drug possession. He was later released on bail and entered into a plea deal, which required him to complete community service and attend anger management classes.
Desiigner has not yet commented on the recent charge, but his legal team has stated that they will fight the allegations in court.
The incident on the flight was not the first time that Desiigner has been involved in legal trouble. In 2016, he was arrested for drug and weapon charges after a road rage incident in New York City. He was later cleared of the weapon charges but pleaded guilty to drug charges.
Desiigner’s legal troubles have raised questions about the pressures and challenges that come with sudden fame and success. While he has achieved great success as a rapper, it’s clear that he has also struggled with personal demons and the consequences of his actions.
As the case against Desiigner continues, it’s important to remember that everyone deserves a fair trial and the opportunity to defend themselves in court. Whatever the outcome of this case, it’s clear that it will have a lasting impact on Desiigner’s career and personal life.
