\n\tIn addition to the domestic violence charge, Desiigner is facing three charges of malicious injury to animals and personal property valued at between $2,000 and $10,000. Each of the latter three charges comes with a maximum sentence of five years in prison.<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to a police report viewed by Complex<\/em>, Desiigner got into an argument with his girlfriend and mother of his child over TVs assembled on the wall inside a home. The rapper allegedly smashed both of her phones with a hammer.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe victim allegedly fled the situation to a neighbor\u2019s house with their child and locked herself in the bathroom, while Desiigner damaged the neighbor\u2019s car and home windows as he looked for a way to breach the residence. She also claimed that Desiigner physically pushed her and tossed her purse over a fence.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis is far from Desiigner\u2019s first run-in with the law. The Brooklyn-bred rapper was previously arrested on March 23 on a\u00a0third-degree charge of domestic violence in South Carolina; the following day, he posted a $1,500 bond and was released. Before that, he was arrested in April 2023 on indecent exposure\u00a0charges, with authorities alleging he was masturbating while aboard a Delta Airlines flight from Tokyo to Minneapolis.<\/p>\n

\n\tDesiigner broke out in 2016 with \u201cPanda,\u201d which spent two weeks at No. 1 on the\u00a0Billboard Hot 100. He also earned a pair of top 40 Hot 100 hits with \u201cTimmy Turner\u201d (No. 34 peak) and as a guest on\u00a0BTS\u2019\u00a0\u201cMic Drop\u201d (No. 28). More recently, Desiigner released his ii <\/em>deluxe project in April and his \u201cOutside\u201d single in May via LOD Entertainment.<\/p>\n

\n\tDesiigner\u2019s reps did not immediately respond to Billboard<\/em>\u2018s request for comment.<\/p>\n
