According to TMZ, the young artist caught the same bug that Prince has suffered

Filmed by Twitter user Frankie Lewando, the video shows him in full swing when he suddenly pukes up for several seconds.

The audience were both impressed and disgusted by the display in equal measure.

The 19-year-old rapper from Brooklyn was performing his breakthrough single Panda at NYC venue Emporium when the unfortunate incident took place.

According to TMZ, the young artist caught the same bug that Prince has suffered, that forced him to cancel a string of shows and was rushed to hospital and treated after making an emergency stop in Moline, Illinois.

Desiigner is known for his energetic on-stage presence.

The rapper was recently signed to G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam and is featured twice on Kanye West's The Life of Pablo album

Just days ago, the rapper picks up a disabled man mid-song, puts him on his back and proceeds to carry him around the stage.

He was recently signed to G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam and is featured twice on Kanye West's The Life of Pablo album.

Though from New York, his sound has been likened to music coming out of Atlanta and there has been mounting criticism that his style too closely resembles that of Atlanta rapper Future.

But despite the singer's recent hic-up, his success is undeniable.
