Desiigner Says ‘Mental Health is Real,’ Checks Into Facility After Exposing Himself on Flight
“I turned 26 today and i want to thank ya’ll for holding me down,” he wrote Wednesday. “I admitted myself into a facility last week to focus on my mental health. But before that i had planned to release TIIMMY TURNER 2 this week as a surprise to my fans. I recorded this joint a while ago and it reflects on where i’ve been mentally over the past year.”
He continued: “Sorry i can’t promote it the way i like to cause i’m off the grid, but i just want to give you some new music while i take time away to become a better me. I’m going through a tough time right now but i won’t let my struggles define who i am. I will come back stronger and make more music that connects with all of you on a deeper level.”
While on his way to Thailand, the “Panda” rapper allegedly exposed himself and masturbated on the flight and was charged with indecent exposure. He checked himself into a mental health facility shortly afterward.
