In 2023, the Brooklyn native 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 following year, 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.

He 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.
