Rapper Desiigner arrested on domestic violence charges in South Carolina. Details on the alleged incident and his release on bond.
- March 26, 2026
AceShowbiz - Sidney Royel Selby III, known professionally as Desiigner, was taken into custody earlier this week in South Carolina on charges related to domestic violence.
According to records from Horry County jail, Desiigner was booked on Monday, March 23, 2026, and subsequently released the next day after posting a $1,500 bond. The official charge against him is third-degree domestic violence.
An arrest report obtained from the Horry County Police Department and shared with Rolling Stone details that officers responded to a disturbance at a residence on March 3. However, Desiigner was not present when law enforcement arrived. The report alleges that he forcibly removed a pair of car keys from an unidentified victim’s pants and then threw her to the floor, causing minor injuries including bleeding and scratches.
Requests for comment from Desiigner’s representatives have not been returned at this time.
This is not the first time Desiigner has faced legal issues. In 2023, he was involved in a federal case concerning indecent exposure and disruptive conduct during a flight from Tokyo to Minneapolis. That case was resolved with Desiigner completing community service, paying a fine, and agreeing to two years of probation.
Earlier in his career, specifically in 2016, Desiigner was detained after a reported road-rage incident in New York City. The allegations included pointing a weapon at occupants of another vehicle, though the gun charge was eventually dropped.
These recent developments add to the ongoing legal challenges faced by Desiigner, whose career initially rose to prominence with his 2015 hit "Panda."
