Desiigner

Desiigner是来自纽约布鲁克林的美国说唱歌手，他凭借2016年的首支单曲《Panda》一举成名，这首歌定义了2010年代中期病毒式的嘻哈时刻。他原名Sidney Royel Selby III，凭借一个令人难以抗拒的hook和充满活力、含糊不清的说唱风格建立了自己的事业，这让评论家们意见不一，却俘获了数百万听众。 《Panda》在Billboard Hot 100排行榜上蝉联两周冠军，全球销量超过1000万张，并为他赢得了与Kanye West的GOOD Music厂牌签约的机会。当West在他的专辑《The Life of Pablo》中采样这首歌时，歌曲的成功得到了放大，使Desiigner一夜成名。

他随后发行了单曲《Tiimmy Turner》并参与了BTS的《MIC Drop》混音版，这两首歌都登上了排行榜，但未能达到他首张单曲的文化影响力。2019年离开GOOD Music后，他继续发行了《Reborn》等独立项目。评论家们经常称他为“一曲成名”的艺人，但他公开拒绝了这个标签，并指出他持续的创作和影响力。Desiigner依然活跃，预告新音乐并在小型场地演出，而他突破性的热门歌曲的流媒体播放量已达数十亿。[编辑]

Desiigner在布鲁克林的Marcy Houses公屋项目中长大，这里也是Jay-Z成长的地方。他的父亲在他年幼时入狱，母亲独自抚养他和他兄弟姐妹。他曾就读于Boys and Girls High School，但在11年级辍学以专注于音乐。在叔叔（一位名叫Tommy的当地说唱歌手）以及Lil Wayne和50 Cent等艺人的启发下，他从14岁开始写歌词。他使用USB麦克风和免费软件录制了他的第一批歌曲，并以“Desiigner”（“designer”一词的变体）的名字上传到SoundCloud。

在音乐事业起飞之前，他曾担任保安和一家运动鞋店的店员。转折点发生在他的一位朋友在一次派对上怂恿他去说唱；观众热烈的反应让他下定决心要认真追求音乐事业。在2014年和2015年，他在SoundCloud上发布了《Zombie Walk》和《Monster》等早期歌曲，积累了一小批本地粉丝。突破发生在2015年末，当时他在朋友的录音室里一次性录制了《Panda》，灵感来自他在一家经销商看到的BMW X6，这辆车的黑白配色让他想起了熊猫。[编辑]

2016年2月，Desiigner独立发行了《Panda》的SoundCloud和iTunes版本。这首歌迅速走红，几周内就获得了数百万次播放。到4月份，Kanye West听到了这首歌，并决定在他的专辑《The Life of Pablo》中的歌曲《Pt. 2》中采样它，这促使Desiigner与GOOD Music和Def Jam签约。5月份，《Panda》在Billboard Hot 100排行榜上登顶，取代了Drake的《One Dance》，并蝉联榜首两周。它还在英国和加拿大排行榜上名列前茅。

2016年，他参加了BET Awards以及Wireless和Lollapalooza等大型音乐节。同年12月，他发行了他的首张混音带《New English》，该专辑在Billboard 200排行榜上排名第22位。后续单曲《Tiimmy Turner》最高达到第46位。2017年，他出现在Steve Aoki混音的BTS的《MIC Drop》中，该曲在Hot 100排行榜上达到第28位，并获得了2×白金认证。他与Gucci Mane和Pusha T合作，并被列入XXL Freshman Class。

在2018年发行EP《L.O.D.》后，Desiigner于2019年与GOOD Music和Def Jam分道扬镳，成为一名独立艺人。他于2022年发布了混音带《Reborn》，并陆续发行了《Bloody Mary》和《Drip》等单曲，同时预告了一个名为《Survivor's Guilt》的新项目。尽管他的商业巅峰已过，但他继续在小型场地巡演，并建立起忠实的粉丝群体。[编辑]

Desiigner的公众形象以其充满活力、狂热的演唱风格以及与mumble rap和trap子流派的关联而闻名。他的标志性口号，如“Grrr”和“I got the racks”，立即为人所知。媒体和评论家常常将他描绘成一个“一曲成名”的艺人，但他一直反对这一标签，认为《Panda》是一次改变游戏规则的创作。粉丝们喜欢他真实、不加掩饰的能量以及那些成为网络迷因的时刻，例如他2016年在BET Awards上的表演，该表演在网上被广泛分享。他没有官方的粉丝名称，但粉丝有时被称为“Panda crew”。在社交媒体上，他表现得随和而直接，经常发布关于他的儿子、新音乐和他心理健康历程的内容。他对自己个人挣扎的坦诚沟通加深了他与观众的联系。[编辑]

Desiigner's fanbase is a loose, nostalgia-driven community that never coalesced into a formal fandom with a name. He calls them his supporters, and they connect through his official social channels, where his Facebook page has amassed over 2 million likes and his YouTube channel has drawn 26 million views. Unlike the organized streaming parties and chart-push campaigns of other artists' fandoms, Desiigner's fans have never coordinated such efforts; their influence peaked during the organic viral explosion of 'Panda' in 2016, which carried him to the top of the charts without any label push. Shared touchpoints among fans include his signature ad-libs like 'Grrr' and the persistent joke that he resembles Future. There are no documented fan rituals or projects, and while he interacts with fans via social media and even lists a public booking email, no extraordinary artist-to-fan gestures stand out.

In the iFANN Global Fame Engine's August 2026 evaluation, Desiigner is evaluated but does not currently hold a placement in the published rankings, neither in the Global Top 1,000 nor in any Top-100 scope list. His fame, once meteoric, has receded to the point where he is no longer among the most famous people on Earth, though his story remains a defining chapter of mid-2010s hip-hop.[编辑]

The name 'Panda' came from a BMW X6 he saw at a car dealership, the black-and-white paint job reminding him of a panda. He wrote the song in about 20 minutes and recorded it in one take, with the released version nearly identical to the original. Kanye West initially wanted to buy the beat, but Desiigner refused to sell it. His biggest musical influence is Michael Jackson; he has said he wants to bring energy back to hip-hop. He has a tattoo of his son's name on his neck. The music video for 'Tiimmy Turner' was inspired by the cartoon The Fairly OddParents. He has never released a full-length studio album; his longest project is the 13-track mixtape New English. In 2023, he was arrested for a domestic incident, but charges were later dropped. In 2024, he posted about seeking mental health treatment, saying he was working on himself.

A story fans still retell is the 2016 BET Awards performance, where his chaotic, hyper-energetic stage presence became a viral meme, defining his public image as much as the song itself. His 2016 XXL Freshman freestyle also became legendary for its nearly unintelligible delivery, reinforcing his reputation for raw energy over lyrical clarity. More recently, his 2026 domestic violence arrests in South Carolina have overshadowed his musical legacy, marking a tragic turn in his story.[编辑]

Desiigner主要由他的母亲在Marcy Houses抚养长大。他的父亲Sidney Selby Jr.在他年幼时入狱，并因抢劫被判处20年监禁，于2018年获释。父子二人此后已和解。Desiigner有一个儿子，Sidney Royel Selby IV，于2018年出生，是他当时的女友所生。他与孩子母亲共同抚养儿子，并谈到成为父亲如何让他找到了生活的意义。他没有公开提及他母亲或兄弟姐妹的名字。截至2026年，他单身，专注于他的音乐和抚养儿子。[编辑]

Desiigner 最为人熟知的便是与 Kanye West 的合作，Kanye West 将他签入 GOOD Music 旗下，并采样了他的歌曲《Panda》用于《The Life of Pablo》。他与 Pusha T 合作了《Thank God》，与 Gucci Mane 合作了《Make a Bitch》。客串 Steve Aoki 混音的 BTS《MIC Drop》使他获得了国际关注。他与 Lil Yachty 和 21 Savage 一同入选了 2016 年 XXL Freshman Class。制作人 Mike Dean 曾参与制作他的首张混音带《New English》。[编辑]

Desiigner 已确认的唯一公开恋情是与他儿子的母亲，他们从 2017 年到 2019 年左右约会。他们于 2018 年迎来了他们的儿子 Sidney Royel Selby IV。分手是友好的，他们共同抚养孩子。自 2019 年以来，Desiigner 没有公开与其他任何人有过关联。他在采访中表示，他专注于他的音乐和抚养儿子。截至 2026 年，Desiigner 据报道单身。[编辑]

As of 2026, iFANN currently estimates Desiigner's net worth at $5 million. The bulk of his wealth comes from his breakout hit 'Panda,' which has accumulated over 1.5 billion streams on Spotify alone and earned an 8× Platinum certification from the RIAA. Streaming royalties from 'Panda' are estimated at $2-3 million total. The song's sales, including digital downloads and physical copies, added roughly $1-1.5 million. His signing advance from GOOD Music in 2016 was reportedly $500,000. Touring and festival appearances between 2016 and 2018 brought in an estimated $200,000 to $500,000. Endorsement deals with Puma and Beats by Dre in 2016-2017 added about $200,000. He also earns from publishing rights, as 'Panda' has been licensed for films, TV, and commercials. Desiigner does not own significant real estate or have major business ventures; his wealth is almost entirely tied to his music career.[编辑]

Desiigner 在 2016 年和 2017 年赢得了几项主要奖项，主要是因为《Panda》。他获得了 BET Hip Hop Awards 的最佳嘻哈视频奖、MTV Video Music Awards 的最佳新人奖以及 Billboard Music Awards 的年度最佳说唱歌曲奖。他还因歌曲创作和表演获得了 ASCAP 和 SESAC 的荣誉。[编辑]
