Rapper Desiigner, whose legal name is Sidney Royel Selby III, was arrested again in South Carolina on Tuesday and faces a second-degree domestic violence charge along with three felony property damage counts, according to county jail records. The arrest brings the "Panda" hitmaker back behind bars after a previous incident in the same state.
"Desiigner returned to a South Carolina jail after investigators accused him of escalating another violent dispute with a hammer."
Complex reported that the rapper allegedly chased a woman with a hammer during the confrontation. The felony property damage charges suggest the altercation caused significant harm to belongings or surroundings, though specific details on what was damaged have not been released.
"Selby was booked Tuesday afternoon and remained in custody as of the latest available records."
TMZ, which first obtained booking records, confirmed that the 27-year-old rapper remains in custody. Court documents reviewed by hot97.com indicate he faces one count of second-degree domestic violence, a charge that typically involves physical harm or the threat of harm against a household member.
This is not the first time Desiigner has run afoul of the law in South Carolina. Reports from TMZ and other outlets noted that he had been arrested in the state previously, and this latest booking marks another chapter in his ongoing legal troubles. As of the most recent records, no bond information has been made public.
