Desiigner is putting his career on hold while getting help for his mental health after allegedly exposing himself on a recent international flight.
The rapper says he had a bad chemical reaction to a new medication, leading him to act out while on a flight back home from Thailand and Tokyo.
“For the past few months i have not been ok, and i have been struggling to come to terms with what is going on,” he wrote on his Instagram Story Thursday. “While overseas for a concert i performed at, i had to be admitted in to a hospital, i was not thinking clearly.”
He continued, “They gave me meds, and i had to hop on a plane home. I am ashamed of my actions that happened on that plane. I landed back to the states, and am admitting my self in a facility to help me.” 00:0001:28 Enlarge Image The “Prada” performer will be canceling all of his upcoming engagements while working on his mental health.
