Rapper Desiigner exposes himself on airplane, admits himself to mental health facility

The rapper Desiigner reportedly exposed himself on an international flight and is now seeking help regarding his mental health.

Sources told TMZ that the rapper was on his way home to the United States from visiting Thailand and Tokyo, where he was performing.

While in the air, the “Panda” rapper exposed himself and was scolded by a flight attendant. When the plane landed in Minneapolis, there were authorities on the ground who met with him and eventually released him after a conversation.

Desiigner was suffering from a illness and took prescribed meds that he believes caused a chemical imbalance of some kind, a source told TMZ.

“For the past few months I have not been OK, and I have been struggling to come to terms with what is going on,” he told the outlet. “While overseas for a concert I performed at, I had to be admitted into a hospital. I was not thinking clearly.”

“They gave me meds, and I had to hop on a plane home. I am ashamed of my actions that happened on that plane. I landed back to the States, and am admitting my self in a facility to help me,” he added.

“I will be cancelling [sic] all shows and any obligations until further notice. Mental health is real guys, please pray for me. If your [sic] not feeling like yourself, please get help.”

Desiigner had previously been kicked off a Scandinavian Airlines flight in 2018 after he said he “spazzed” on a flight attendant who touched him.
