Desiigner’s 911 Call Released Amid Domestic Violence Allegations

Audio from a 911 call involving the rapper Desiigner, born Sidney Royel Selby III, has been released, providing a disturbing look at an incident that led to his arrest on domestic violence charges in South Carolina.

The recording, which was shared by TMZ on April 8, 2026, captures a heated confrontation between the artist and the mother of his child. The call stems from an incident that occurred on March 24, 2026, in Horry County.

Details of the 911 Recording

In the released audio, Desiigner is heard engaging in a volatile argument with the woman. During the exchange, the rapper repeatedly tells the mother of his child to go kill yourself and go choke yourself.

As the call progresses, Desiigner speaks with the 911 dispatcher, pleading for police assistance. He alleges that the woman was attempting to fight him and leave the residence with their child. He further claims that the woman was trying to steal his vehicle, describing the act as grand theft auto on his car.

During the conversation with the operator, Desiigner makes several erratic claims, including the allegation that the woman may have laced his marijuana. He also informs the dispatcher that he possesses an Airsoft gun, stating he obtained it just to have one.

The recording captures a moment where Desiigner expresses his own mental distress, telling the dispatcher, I’m suicidal now.

According to reports, Desiigner told the operator he had driven away from the scene to get away from the woman. He described his vehicle as a black SUV and claimed he was driving to Las Vegas, though he reportedly stopped responding to the dispatcher when asked to pull over.

Domestic Violence Arrest and Charges

The events of March 24, 2026, resulted in the artist’s arrest by the Horry County Police Department. He was charged with domestic violence following a physical altercation at a home.

A police report detailing the incident alleges that the 28-year-old rapper pushed the woman to the ground and ripped her clothing. These actions allegedly occurred while the woman was attempting to leave the premises with their child.

The victim told officers that Desiigner had arrived home angry and yelling before the situation turned physical.

Desiigner was released from custody later on March 24, 2026, after posting a $1,500 bond.

Background and Mental Health Context

This incident follows a period of personal and legal instability for the former G.O.O.D. Music signee. In 2023, Desiigner was arrested on charges of indecent exposure after an incident where he exposed himself on an airplane.

Following the 2023 arrest, the artist spoke publicly regarding his mental health struggles. Observers noted that his mugshot from the March 2026 arrest appeared to reflect a disheartened state, with reports describing his expression as beat down.

Representatives for Desiigner have not yet provided a comment regarding the release of the 911 audio or the domestic violence charges.
