Rapper Desiigner (Sidney Selby III), best known for his 2016 hit "Panda", was arrested on Wednesday 15 July in South Carolina on a second-degree domestic violence charge, according to Horry County Sheriff's Office records. He was booked at 2:21 p.m. ET and remained in custody without bail at the time of reporting. The arrest is his second on domestic violence-related charges within a few months and adds to a growing list of legal troubles for the artist.

Alongside the domestic violence charge, Desiigner faces three counts of malicious injury to animals and to personal property valued between $2,000 and $10,000, each carrying a maximum five-year prison sentence. A police report cited by Complex alleges he argued with his girlfriend, the mother of his child, over wall-mounted televisions, then smashed her phones with a hammer; she reportedly fled to a neighbour's house, where Desiigner allegedly damaged a car and windows while trying to get in, and also pushed her and threw her purse over a fence. He was previously arrested on a third-degree domestic violence charge in South Carolina in March, posting a $1,500 bond, and faced indecent exposure allegations in April 2023 aboard a Delta flight; his representatives had not responded to requests for comment.
