CBS News Minnesota reports that prosecutors claim Selby was interviewed by an FBI agent following his flight that landed at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. When asked about what happened, he said he “didn’t get much” in Japan and found one of the flight attendants attractive so he exposed himself.
Since the incident made headlines, Desiigner posted a statement informing his social media followers he was “ashamed” of what happened and that he was seeking treatment.
"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," he wrote on his Instagram Story. "I was not thinking clearly. 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, … am admitting myself in a facility to help me."
