Playboi Carti, the American rapper, was arrested in Georgia for allegedly choking his pregnant girlfriend following an argument over a paternity test. According to police, his girlfriend, who has not been named, told officers that she’s “been in a relationship with Carti for two years and lived with him in Georgia in his mansion since July 2022” and was 14 weeks pregnant at the time she was allegedly attacked on December 20. According to the girlfriend, she only wanted to have a conversation with Carti about their unborn baby and mention a paternity test, which broke out into an argument and escalated to a physical attack. Moreover, she told police Carti “grabbed her by her throat, pushed her, and held her neck until she could barely breathe”. She thought she was going to die.

It was said that there was a witness who jumped in to try to break up the fight, so she was able to escape Carti’s grasp. She ran to her car and claimed that he attacked her again.  Allegedly, it was told to the police by the victim, Carti tried to pull her out of the car and he put his hand over her mouth. She used the SOS feature in the vehicle to contact the police. When police arrived, they noticed the woman had visible injuries to her neck, chest, and back. 

Playboi Carti’s real name is Jordan Carter. He was arrested for felony aggravated assault. “Mr. Carter was falsely accused. According to my communications with the Fulton County District Attorney’s office, this case will be dismissed without any prosecution or litigation,” stated his attorney Brian Steel.

Carti’s ex Iggy Azalea indirectly tweeted about the incident:

“Imagine having a pregnant girlfriend and pretending they don’t exist until it comes out you like to abuse them too & rarely visit your actual son unless it is because you’re running from whatever problems you got going on in Atlanta & the press with your serial abuse of women.”

“Anyway. I’m actually having an amazing day! Karma is real! Treat the people you love well! Happy Valentine’s Day,” she says in a follow-up tweet.

Unsurprisingly, women who are famous also have to endure issues related to domestic violence and we should be holding these people accountable.
