Desiigner Explains That His Vegan Diet & Medication Led To His In-Flight Masturbation [Video]

Rapper Desiigner is speaking out over a year after he was arrested for masturbating on an airplane.

The “Panda” star sat down with “No Jumper,” where he detailed what went down on that fateful April 2023 flight from Tokyo to Minneapolis. According to Desiigner, he doesn’t recollect the entire ordeal because he is “fully tweaked out” of his mind. He explained to Adam22 that part of the reason for his disorientation was his vegan diet, which deprived him of essential sugars.

“I was kind of like, out of my body. It was an OB experience. It really wasn’t like, who my character was,” he stated before adding that prescription medication he was taking also caused him to have a reaction.

Desiigner was seen exposing and pleasuring himself on the flight. Despite airline attendants asking him to stop, he continued. Authorities nabbed him after he landed. TMZ reported at the time that Desiigner got sick during his trip and was given the unknown pills that altered his mental state. Shortly after, he shared a message on social media to let fans know he had not been okay for several months leading to the incident. He claimed that his mental health had not been the best and was exasperated by his hospitalization overseas. He was eventually charged with misdemeanor indecent exposure. As part of a plea deal, he was sentenced to probation and community service. The 27-year-old checked himself into a treatment facility shortly after.

“I hope nobody thinks I’m a pervert or anything….I’m all about love and keeping things going,” Desiigner added.
