Desiigner was arrested Monday in South Carolina on a domestic violence charge, according to local authorities.
The Brooklyn artist was taken into custody in Horry County, South Carolina, and charged with third-degree domestic violence. Booking records show he was arrested late Monday morning and released the following day after posting bond. As of now, officials have not publicly detailed the circumstances surrounding the alleged incident.
Representatives for Desiigner have not yet issued a public statement. Authorities have also not confirmed whether additional details or court proceedings will be released in the coming days.
The arrest marks the latest legal issue for the “Panda” rapper, whose career has seen both major commercial highs and periods of personal struggle. While Desiigner initially rose to prominence with his 2016 breakout hit and subsequent chart success, his time in the spotlight has also been accompanied by off-stage controversies.
In 2023, the rapper made headlines followingan incident on an international flight, which led to federal charges and legal penalties. In the aftermath, he spoke openly about dealing with mental health challenges, attributing some of his behavior to complications tied to medication. He later entered treatment and stepped back from public life to focus on his well-being.
Despite the legal setback, Desiigner had begun regaining momentum online back in October. A new freestyle clip circulating on social media caught fans off guard, showcasing a more controlled and lyrical approach compared to the high-energy delivery that defined his earlier work.
The performance, which spread quickly after being reposted by users online, sparked a wave of reactions, with many praising his growth and suggesting the rapper could be entering a new creative phase.
