Playboi Carti Slammed with Accusations of Jumping Fan and His Girlfriend

Looks like things got a little too real at a recent fan encounter for Playboi Carti. Known for his cryptic persona and complex relationship with fans, the “Whole Lotta Red” artist is now facing backlash after a male fan accused him of unleashing his entourage to assault him and his girlfriend—all because of a prank photo. The fan claimed the incident went down after he approached Carti with a meme-like image for an autograph.

“About ten minutes ago, Playboi Carti’s crew jumped me and my girlfriend all because I wanted to ask him to sign my picture,” the fan said in a post detailing the alleged scuffle with the “Thought I Was Dead” rapper. Things escalated quickly when Carti reportedly snatched the picture and directed his crew, saying, “Go get his phone from him,” according to the fan.

The fan explained he tried to run and handed his girlfriend’s phone over when they were chased down. “I have the video of him snatching it and getting angry. Here’s the video,” he added. The clip, now making rounds online, shows Carti grabbing the photo before cutting to the fan running and an altercation where several individuals seemingly pin his girlfriend to the ground.

The incident has sparked a heated debate online, with Playboi Carti’s supporters split on how to view the situation. Some fans argue it was an overreaction on Carti’s part, while others think the fan shouldn’t have pulled a trolling stunt in the first place. Regardless of where opinions fall, most agree that involving the fan’s girlfriend was taking it too far.

Playboi Carti isn’t a stranger to drama. From beefs with other artists like Benji Blue Bills—who recently dropped “Load Out” with LAZER DIM 700—to unresolved past disses from Ola Runt, Carti’s been at the center of his fair share of conflict. Whether or not the elusive rapper will address these latest accusations remains to be seen, but judging by his famously mysterious and tight-lipped persona, fans shouldn’t hold their breath.
