Desiigner enters mental health facility after exposing himself on international flight

Desiigner has entered a mental health facility after exposing himself on a return flight from Asia. When he landed, the rapper was reportedly confronted by police. The rapper has been struggling with a range of mental health issues for some time and was apparently admitted to a hospital while in Asia.

Desiigner has provided a statement to TMZ to explain the situation. “For the past few months I have not been ok, and I have been struggling to come to terms with what is going on,” the rapper wrote. “While overseas for a concert I performed at, I had to be admitted in to a hospital, I was not thinking clearly.” [quotes via hnhh]

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 shows and any obligations until further notice. Mental health is real guys, please pray for me. If you’re not feeling like yourself please get help.”

Last year, Desiigner explained that he’d parted ways with Kanye West’s label “’cause I was going through a little mental thing. I was just coming up out of high school, my pops just went into a coma. While I was on tour, I was having a great time but I just knew something at home was happening with my mom and my pops health and shit.”
