Man, things are looking rocky for Desiigner down in the South. Just a few months after catching a domestic violence charge in the same area, the Brooklyn-born rapper found himself back in a South Carolina jail cell. Authorities in Horry County have locked up the “Panda” star once again, and this time, the details are straight-up terrifying.
According to local law enforcement, the 29-year-old rapper, whose real name is Sidney Royel Selby III, was arrested after an intense confrontation where he allegedly chased a victim down with a hammer. The situation escalated quickly, leaving the neighborhood in shock. Police confirmed that Desiigner is now facing one count of domestic violence and two separate counts of property damage. While he managed to get a $1,500 bond on one of the property damage charges, a judge hit him with a strict “no bond” order for the remaining charges, keeping him locked behind bars at the J. Reuben Long Detention Center.
This latest arrest adds another heavy layer to Desiigner’s ongoing legal woes this year. Back in March, he was booked in Horry County for third-degree domestic violence after a nasty dispute with the mother of his child. In that incident, police reports stated he allegedly threw her to the ground and tore her sweatpants during an argument over car keys.
Fans have been watching the “Timmy Turner” artist’s downward spiral with growing concern, especially considering his highly publicized 2023 airplane incident that resulted in probation and mandated mental health treatment. At the time, Desiigner openly admitted he was struggling, sharing on social media that he was “admitting myself in a facility to help me.” Sadly, it looks like the trouble has followed him down to Myrtle Beach, and this hammer incident has the streets wondering if he’ll ever get the real help he needs before it’s too late.
