Cyndi Lauper‘s son, Declyn Lauper, was arrested after he was found by police in a stolen vehicle.
Declyn – who is also a musician – was arrested at approximately 1:40 a.m. on Thursday, July 14, when he was taken into custody.
The 24-year-old rapper – who has an Instagram following of two million – was found in the driver’s seat of an illegally double-parked Mercedes.
Declyn – full name Declyn Wallace Thornton Lauper – is the only child of hitmaker Girls Just Want To Have Fun, who she shares with husband David Thornton after the couple married in 1991.
NYPD confirmed his arrest to metro.co.ukstating that “on West 140 Street and Broadway, within the boundaries of the 30 Precinct, police spotted a 2014 Mercedes Benz C350 illegally double parked at the site.”
Officers ran a computer check and examined the car’s license plates before determining that the vehicle had been stolen.
Declyn’s was then taken to a nearby police station and his official charge was “unauthorized use of a vehicle.”
In addition, according to TMZNYPD officers discovered that the Mercedes in question had been reported stolen two years ago.
Declyn – who performs under the stage name Dex Lauper – is said to have been released with a ticket to return to court at a later date.
The musician was exposed to life in the public eye as a youngster, due to his mother’s fame and success with her own hits.
Frequently taken to A-list events and red carpets, the duo still enjoy walking the red carpet together, most recently posing at the VMAs in September 2021.
The son of the Time After Time artist followed in her footsteps and now has songs like Wavy, Blinds and Special Vibe to his credit.
Cyndi has previously shared that her son is very mature, recalling a time when he called her out for swearing on live TV, in a chat with Closer in 2018.
“He said, ‘What daddy always says is if you don’t swear if it’s not important, you won’t swear if it is,'” Cyndi said.
‘And I thought, ‘f**k eah’. No, I’m kidding, no, no, I’m like, ‘I know, Dex. I know, it’s been a long day, you know. “It’s hard to be me.”
Cyndi Lauper representatives have been contacted for comment.
