Key Takeaway
Rapper Desiigner has been sentenced in the case of his mid-flight indecent exposure, being ordered to register as a sex offender. This verdict raises doubts about his future in the music industry.
The Incident
Desiigner, best known for his hit song “Panda,” pleaded guilty to the charge of indecent exposure. The incident took place during a flight back from Japan in April, where he allegedly exposed himself in the presence of flight attendants. It was reported that he made inappropriate remarks to the flight attendants as well.
According to the initial charging documents, when arrested by federal agents, Desiigner claimed that he didn’t receive much attention from women during his time overseas.
The Sentence
As a result of his guilty plea, Desiigner will not only serve a 2-year probation, but he is also required to register as a sex offender. This is a significant repercussion that will follow him for the foreseeable future.
In addition to registering as a sex offender, Desiigner will undergo a psychiatric evaluation and drug testing as part of his probation. He is also prohibited from owning or possessing firearms and must complete 120 hours of community service.
The Future of Desiigner’s Music
Desiigner’s guilty plea and sentence raise questions about the future of his music career. Last November, he announced that he had quit rap for good following the death of fellow rapper Takeoff. Now, with this incident, it remains to be seen how it will impact his music going forward.
