Rising rap star Desiigner was arrested in New York City on Thursday night (September 8), HipHopDX has confirmed with a rep from the NYPD.
The “Panda” rapper faces charges for criminal possession of a controlled substance as well as an additional charge for intent to distribute. For allegedly threatening someone with a gun, the 19-year-old G.O.O.D Music artist was also hit with a charge of criminal possession of a loaded weapon and menacing.
Police confirmed to HipHopDX that no firearms were recovered from the vehicle.
The arrest comes from an apparent dispute with another driver in traffic. During the argument, someone flicked a cigarette and brandished a gun at the other driver before leaving, the alleged victim says. After the SUV left, the driver in the other car called police and provided them with the vehicle’s license plate number. Authorities soon caught up with the vehicle, searched it, and found drugs. TMZ is reporting their NYPD source said “Oxycontin and other drugs” were recovered from the vehicle, though the NYPD told HipHopDX the prescription pills hadn’t been identified officially.
Desiigner and four others were taken into custody without incident on Thursday night at West 42nd Street and Dyre Avenue in New York. The four other people arrested are: Scott Siegel, 42, Utril Rhaburn, 23, Michael Davis, 19, and C.J. McCoy, 21.

Lmao these rap niggas are the stupidest people in music
Hahaha conviction all from waving a burner around trying to be tough when you nothin but a pussy nigga hope then charges stick dumb fuck dont pull that tool out unless your gonna be firing it….
Dam bro you mad or naw? What type of clown says they hope charges stick to someone? You need a girl quick
Nobody mad. Majority of us find it sad and hilarious all at the same time . Yes those charges should stick for the simple fact that he is a dumbass nigga. He just got his deal like couple months ago, platinum single but you CANT keep your ass out of trouble with all that money coming in. IS IT REALLY THAT HARD SWAY?
Whos mad i think thats you brah? And fyi im married just going on the 1 year anniversery on oct 10th… and been with the fine lady for 10 years now…and maybe it does make me angry when someone does such STUPID shit when they have every oportunity in the world at there fingertips financialy and would rather sit in jail over some childish shit but its good to hears hes not fucking dumb enough to be waving guns out windows at people now that hes a future MILLIONAIRE the guys got it made…
black male waving a gun in a truck full of drugs, real smart move
What a stupid black man.
Worst place to get arrested with a gun is NY he is fucked with no vaseline.
New Yorkers better STOP ELECTING LEFTIST DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS WHO KEEP RAMPING UP THESE GUN CONTROL AND OTHER VICTIMLESS CRIME LAWS…hip-hop needs to go Libertarian.
Look at the Bright side, it’ll keep him away from the studio. Its for the best.
In N.Y. City? See you 5 years dude.
And yet you’ll continue to vote for Democrat politicians who are responsible for these unconstitutional gun control laws…and you’ll probably vote for Hillary who will fight to make these laws national.
It’s time for hip-hop to look to the Libertarian side for once…the side that believes in letting people live their life.
Libertarians suck, because they let corporations run all over the people. So since the government s already fucken U.S. Why we let corporations fuck U.S too. No party truly represents the people. They are all corrupt. The only who’s being Honest and for the people is Donald Trump. He’s not really even a republican. Thats who i’m voting for.
If Libertarians would let corporations “run all over the people”…then why do corporations endorse Democrats and Republicans instead of Libertarians?
Sir are you part of the electoral college? If your not you do realize your “REGULAR VOTE DOES NOT MEAN SHIT”. I hope you know electoral votes by a electoral committee member is the only vote that counts for presidency right?
yea man no bullshit dont even kno why he still here im ready to get up out this muh fuka
What? Bruh. The Higher Ups Doing This To Him So He Can Submit To Them & Sellout.
Wait… What?
You make it sound like he was the next Mos Def. He had nothing TO sell out.
Good. Lock this retard up forever. One less trash rapper
Good to hear. No more garbage music from this clown, my homies.
Those are my first thoughts as well. But, controversy catapults these aborted fetus rappers careers even further. So, it could be a bad thing for people who don’t like to hear the type of shit that sounds like rap music from countries where they hang you in the middle of the street if you get caught tryin to look up a broad’s burka.
I don’t wish hardship on anyone. However though as Red Foreman would say….Dumbass!
This negro F’n up already. You just got a deal like yesterday. He had the opportunity to change his life. That money from the platinum single better come in handy. He’s going to need a good lawyer.
So this is not a RNS situation. This a DNS-DUMB NIGGA SHIT. Its funny how those nyc rappers we don’t want repping nyc always find a way to fuck it up for themselves in record timing. Bobby, Troy and now Desiigner. What makes matters worse the D.A. office in nyc drool over situations like this to prosecute rappers when they do dumb shit in NY so that they can get a feather in they cap and gloat and say “It was me who put him away”. Is it really that hard when you start getting money to stay your ass out of trouble. Look on the bright side, maybe in jail he will learn how to pronounce words instead of mumbling and passing it off as englsih
If you riding dirty then you driving clean. If not, you just a dumb ass fool. Designer name about ready to be Ben Dover. This truly is some DNS.

@ Scott Siegel, nigga what the hell you doing with niggas half your age? Grow up. Your life must really suck if you gotta do Oxycotton with a buncha 20 year olds. Loser.
I was thinking the same thing
He was our last American hope for saving pandas. Now what?
