American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, record executive and actor Sidney Royel Selby III, better known by his stage name Desiigner, put up a grand performance during the Jameson concert.
The Jameson Concert was held at the Waterfront Mall Gardens in Karen on December 8. This was the first time for the rapper to headline in a Kenyan show.

The rapper is famously known for his song ‘Panda’ which he released earlier in 2016.
We all want to know how concerts went down after the weekend is over especially for those who could not manage to attend.

The rapper tried to crowd-surf but as soon as he was within reach, some individuals saw it as an opportunity to steal from him.
Desiigner, who is popular for his hit song Panda, could be heard shouting over his shoes as others tried to strip him of his trousers.
Crowd surfing is a move musicians make that involves jumping into a crowd which is supposed to support them and is mostly done at the peak of a performance.

The video of him shouting and photos on stage showing Desiigner without his shoes and a sock have since gone viral.
It is reported that the hip-hop artist was able to recover the sneakers, denying the robbers the satisfaction of owning such expensive shoes.
He was in the country to perform at the Jameson Connect alongside rappers Bas and Stefflon Don.
A number of artists have had a rough experience while in Kenya to perform due to crooks that see them as an opportunity to make money from their possessions.
In 2004, Sean Paul lost his phone when criminals masquerading as fans carried him up high in appreciation of his electrifying gig.
After Davido’s lacklustre performance at the Carnivore gardens in 2015, it is reported that his phone also went missing.
Reports also have it that the crowd tried to snatch away his watch but he was lucky that the security jumped in to save the situation.
Towards the end the show he was seen in shoes; which would mean he got his pair back or probably got a replacement.
‘Nairobi is undefeated’ netizens were not as surprised having that this is not the first time an artist lost his belonging to the fans.
Even with what seemed like a set back, the rapper shared the stage with some of Kenyan artists who made it super lit.
