Desiigner has bizarrely blamed being caught masturbating on an airplane on the fact that he was on a vegan diet.
The “Panda” rapper previously pleaded guilty to indecent exposure after being caught masturbating on a flight to Japan by airplane staff.
Appearing on Adam22’s No Jumper podcast, the former G.O.O.D. Music star addressed his arrest which saw him narrowly escape being put on the sex offender’s register.
He said: “I didn’t know what I was doing. I was fully tweaked out of my mind. When I was vegan I didn’t have enough sugars and stuff like that so it was like I was out of my body.
“I was on medication and just went to sleep on the plane. I’m, like, out of my body saying wild shit.”

Desiigner received two years’ probation for the incident, as well as 120 hours of community service and a $5,000 fine. He was also forced to apologize to the flight attendants for his behavior.
The Brooklyn, New York native was reportedly handed an FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) violation card following the incident, then moved to the rear of the plane with two travel companions to be monitored.
Upon landing, he was detained and interviewed by the FBI. He was charged in the state of Minnesota as he was flying outbound from there to Japan.
At the time, Desiigner claimed that a combination of prescription medication and mental health issues caused the incident.
“For the past few months i have not been ok, and i have been struggling to come to terms with what is going on. While overseas for a concert i performed at, i had to be admitted in to a hospital, i was not thinking clearly,” he told TMZ.
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.
“I will be cancelling all of my shows and any obligations until further notice. Mental health is real guys, please pray for me. If you’re [sic] not feeling like yourself please get help.”
Desiigner subsequently sought help for his mental health struggles and checked himself into a medical facility.
He’s a weirdo with a naturally autotuned voice.
Them Asian baddies had him ready to go 🤣🤣😭
Black men have lost their way. Went to Atlanta for business conference and seen nothing but grown men walking around in pink thongs and lip gloss. Dr King and Pac rolling in they grave right now
No he’s just retarded 🥴 Just take one listen to his music and you’d definitely agree 💯 percent.
He tried to stop eating meat and ended up beating meat.
🤣🤣🤣
As usual with any Sam the pathetic, cringy, super simp B00re article this isn’t news and nobody gives a fuck. Go get a REAL FUCKING J0B Sammy a J0B that you’re actually good at if that’s even possible, a J0B that you can actually get paid from and one where you don’t get laughed at and embarrassed every single day with this dead end, Z list bullshit, freelance gossip gig you laughably have now. Go drink a whole gallon of Clorox Sammy I can guarantee you with 100 percent certainty that your worthless waste of space self wont be missed.
He just wanted to make a headline. As his so-called music is unlistenable, it was the fastest way.
Strange, I did a Vegan diet for 2 years and never once jerked off in front of a plane full of people…..
The real crime is that panda song.
