Desiigner Arrested In Midtown With A Gun And Drugs

The rapper Desiigner has been arrested for pointing a gun at another motorist outside the Lincoln Tunnel in Midtown, police said Friday.

Desiigner, whose real name is Sidney Royel Selby, was driving into Manhattan from New Jersey when he got into an argument with a motorist driving behind his Cadillac Escalade at W. 42nd St. and Eighth Ave. about 9:10 p.m. Thursday, police said. The arrest was first reported by TMZ.

Desiigner allegedly flicked a lit cigarette at the other motorist, then waved a gun at him and took off, police said.

Desiigner was handcuffed on weapons charges, menacing and drug possession with intent to sell.

Four other people in the car were also arrested. Charges were pending against them.

Desiigner, a native of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, is known for his single, “Panda,” which rose to No. 1 in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in April. In February, he signed with Kanye West’s label Good Music.
