Rapper Desiigner says he checked into a mental health facility after an incident where he exposed himself on a plane.

The rapper said he was given medication and had to “get on a plane home” shortly after.

He said of exposing himself to the plane, “I’m ashamed of my actions that happened on that plane.”

He said that after returning to the US, he will allow himself into a “facility to help” with his problems.

“I will be canceling all shows and all commitments until further notice,” he said. “Mental health is real guys, please pray for me. If you don’t feel like yourself, get help.’
