When will these rappers learn that hammers are NOT the solution to relationship problems? Because honey, Desiigner just took a one-way ticket to the courthouse and we are absolutely LIVING for the chaos of it all.
On Wednesday, July 15, the “Panda” rapper—whose real name is Sidney Royel Selby III, because apparently his mama gave him a whole government name for a reason—was arrested AGAIN for domestic violence in Conway, South Carolina. But this wasn’t just any old spat, bestie. According to reports, this man literally chased his girlfriend with a HAMMER while she was HOLDING A BABY. Yes, you read that correctly. A HAMMER. In 2024, we still have men out here acting like they’re extras in a horror film.
The charges? Oh, they’re spicy. Domestic violence, malicious injury to animals, and property damage round out this absolutely unhinged arrest report. This isn’t even his first rodeo with the law either—Desiigner has had previous run-ins that keep him firmly planted in our “problematic” folder.
Twitter is having an absolute FIELD DAY with this one. Fans are dragging him through the digital mud, with comments ranging from concerned to downright savage. One user wrote, “This is exactly why we can’t have nice things,” while another simply stated, “The music industry really needs to invest in anger management courses.” Amen to that, sis.
What really has us shook is the whole “baby in the equation” situation. We cannot stress enough that bringing innocent children into these violent situations is absolutely reprehensible. The fact that a woman had to flee with a baby while being chased by a literal weapon is the kind of nightmare scenario that keeps us up at night.
The Shade Room dropped this tea and the internet immediately spiraled into judgment mode. And rightfully so! There’s literally no excuse for this behavior, no matter how you slice it. Whether it’s relationship troubles, anger management issues, or substance problems—wielding a hammer at a woman with a child is crossing EVERY line.
Desiigner’s career stock just plummeted faster than crypto in a bear market, and honestly, accountability is long overdue. We’re hoping the legal system takes this seriously and that the victim and child are safe and receiving support.
What do you think? A) Desiigner needs serious jail time and counseling B) This is a wake-up call for the entire hip-hop industry to address violence
