Fat Joe is known for spinning unforgettable stories—and his latest one involves rapper Desiigner and an eerie airport run-in before a headline-making incident.
On a new episode of Joe and Jada, his podcast with fellow rap icon Jadakiss, Fat Joe recounted an unexpected encounter with Desiigner just hours before the rapper was involved in an indecent exposure incident on an international flight.
A Normal Greeting—Before a Wild Headline
While discussing one-hit wonders in hip-hop, Jadakiss brought up Desiigner’s 2016 smash hit “Panda,” prompting Joe to remember the bizarre coincidence.
“Oh, yo, ‘Panda, Panda,’ is the one,” Joe said, laughing. “He sold 10 million on that, right?”
As the conversation continued, Joe suddenly recalled,
“You know what’s crazy? I seen him in Dubai at the airport that day. The same f**king day. He seemed so normal. I’m like, ‘Yo, what’s up, man?’ Then the next thing I know, when I arrive in the States … tumblin’ dice.”
Desiigner’s In-Flight Controversy
The “Panda” rapper made headlines in 2023 after he exposed himself to a flight attendant during a flight from Tokyo to Minneapolis. He later pleaded guilty to indecent exposure and was ordered to register as a sex offender.
Reports alleged Desiigner also masturbated during the flight. At the time, his team said he had been struggling with his mental health and had stopped taking prescribed medication.
The Vegan Diet Theory?
In a later interview with Adam22 on the No Jumper podcast, Desiigner offered a strange explanation:
“I didn’t know what I was doing. I was fully tweaked out of my mind,” he said.
“When I was vegan, I didn’t have enough sugars and stuff like that, so it was like I was out of my body.”
He claimed a combination of poor diet, medication, and exhaustion led to the incident:
“I was on medication and just went to sleep on the plane. I’m, like, out of my body saying wild sh*t.”
“Joe & Jada” Is Already Making Waves
The viral moment came during an episode of Joe & Jada, the new podcast hosted by Fat Joe and Jadakiss. The two rap legends discuss music, culture, and current events with their signature unfiltered flair.
In addition to the Desiigner story, Joe recently stirred controversy by calling FBA (Foundational Black Americans) groups “racist” and “broke.” The Bronx rapper never shies away from bold commentary—and neither does his co-host.
Final Thoughts
Fat Joe’s airport anecdote adds a wild twist to Desiigner’s already controversial story. And it shows how unpredictable the music world—and life itself—can be.
