Outrage mounts after mugshot playboi carti arrest for alleged assault on a pregnant girlfriend.
Rapper Playboi Carti, whose real name is Jordan Carter, was reportedly arrested in December for allegedly choking his pregnant girlfriend during an argument over a paternity test. The incident took place on December 20 in Fulton County, Georgia, according to TMZ.
The woman told police that Carti grabbed her by the throat and pushed her, holding her neck until she could barely breathe. She claimed that she feared for her life during the attack.
A witness then intervened and tried to break up the fight, helping her escape Carti’s grasp. However, the rapper allegedly attacked her again when she ran to her car.
The woman claimed that he attempted to pull her out of the vehicle and put his hand over her mouth as she tried to use the car’s SOS feature to call the police.
When the police arrived, they discovered visible injuries to her neck, chest, and back. Playboi Carti was subsequently arrested for felony aggravated assault and hindering a person from making an emergency telephone call.
According to police records, he was booked into Fulton County Sheriff’s Office on December 29 and released on a $100,000 bond the following day.
The woman reportedly told the police that she had been in a relationship with Carti for two years and that they had been living together since July 2022. She was 14 weeks pregnant at the time of the alleged incident.
Carti’s lawyer, Brian Steel, who is also representing Young Thug in an ongoing YSL RICO case, claims that his client is innocent and that the charges will be dropped. “Mr. Carter was falsely accused,” Steel told TMZ. “Pursuant to my communications with the Fulton County District Attorney’s office, this case will be dismissed without any prosecution or litigation.”
The alleged incident has sparked outrage and concern from fans and the public. Some have called for Carti to be held accountable for his actions, while others have criticized the rapper’s alleged behavior and the culture of violence against women in the music industry.
The case is ongoing, and it remains to be seen whether the charges against Playboi Carti will be dropped, as his lawyer has claimed.
