Rapper Playboi Carti was detained in Georgia after it was claimed that he choked his pregnant girlfriend in the course of a dispute about a paternity test.
According to reports, the rapper’s girlfriend informed the police that she had been dating him for two years, had been living with him since July 2022, and was 14 weeks pregnant at the time of the alleged event on December 20.
Playboi Carti grabbed the woman by the throat and shoved her, squeezing her neck until she could hardly breathe, the woman told the police, adding that she felt like she was going to die.
TMZ reported that she also told cops that she wanted to talk to Playboi Carti about the baby, but their conversation about a paternity test led to an argument, which she claims escalated to a physical attack. She told police a witness jumped in to try and break up the fight, and when she was able to escape Carti’s grasp, she ran to her car where she claims he attacked her again.
The alleged victim told cops Carti tried pulling her out of the car and put his hand over her mouth as she tried to use the vehicle’s SOS feature to call the police. When cops arrived, police said the woman had visible injuries to her neck, chest and back.
Commenting on the arrest of his client on charges of felony aggravated assault, Playboi Carti’s lawyer, Brian Steel insisted that he was falsely accused.
