Playboi Carti was apparently going 84 miles an hour in a 35 miles per hour zone while “trying to get straight back home.”

Playboi Carti—that enigma wrapped in a hoodie—has been busy keeping us guessing! So, imagine my surprise when a clip emerged of him getting pulled over in 2022, cruising at a whopping 84MPH in a quaint little 35 zone. Now, that’s a speed more associated with superheroes than hip-hop icons! In the footage, Iggy Azalea‘s ex joined the narrative, claiming they were just “trying to get straight back home,” with a passenger in the backseat mumbling something unintelligible—classic! After stepping out for processing (no one wants to wait for the paperwork), he returned to his vehicle, and honestly? It could’ve been way more chaotic. Not the craziest celebrity pull-over I’ve seen, but it definitely adds to his mystique!
On a different note, it seems that Playboi Carti is not just ruffling feathers with his driving habits but also triggering some heated commentary about his artistry! His recent positioning at number 12 in Complex’s list of best Atlanta rappers has sparked quite the debate. “I can’t get jiggy with that,” declared B. Dot on Way Up With Angela Yee, going all out by comparing Carti to a GIF and asking: “Have you ever heard his music? It’s like Batman sound effects mixed with a toddler’s tantrum.” Ouch! To say he’s not a fan is an understatement—this guy doesn’t hold back!
But hold on! B. Dot isn’t the only one throwing shade. Remember when Adin Ross invited Carti for a livestream? It barely lasted a few minutes before Carti vanished, allegedly making off with millions of dollars. King Vamp, as he’s whimsically known, even hinted at this fiasco in a leaked track that seemingly features a phone call between him and Ross. Will that version ever see the light of day? Who knows? But one thing’s for sure—every bag counts!
Amidst the drama and the speed demons, Carti’s devoted fanbase remains on the edge of their seats. Anticipation is at an all-time high, not just for that elusive album but also for fresh collaborations and performances. Word on the street is that Carti and Travis Scott teased a “OOCACTUS” concert! If that happens
Playboi Carti is as mysterious as ever these days, which means that seeing him in mundane situations we can relate to is all the more bizarre. Moreover, new footage recently emerged of a 2022 traffic stop in which a police officer pulled him and Ken Carson over for going 84MPH in a 35 zone. In the clip below, Iggy Azalea‘s ex explained that they were “trying to get straight back home” with a female in the backseat who spoke unintelligibly. Then, he stepped out of the vehicle to continue the processing, and eventually got back to his vehicle. All in all, not the worst celebrity pull-over we’ve seen.
Elsewhere, though, Playboi Carti is catching flack instead of engagement due to his high placement in Complex‘s best Atlanta rappers list (at number 12). “I can’t get jiggy with that,” B. Dot expressed on Way Up With Angela Yee. “Playboi Carti couldn’t rap a GIF. Have you ever heard Playboi Carti’s music? He raps in like Batman sound effects. He sucks. Absolutely, he’s terrible. Am I alone in here? Okay. Nah, he’s terrible.”
But B. Dot isn’t the only rap-adjacent commentator with some critical smoke for Playboi Carti, although this next example is much more personal. You may recall that Adin Ross invited him for a livestream which transpired for all of a couple of minutes before the rapper dipped, allegedly finessing him out of millions of dollars. In fact, “King Vamp” even seemed to reference this on a recently leaked song, as he seemed to include a call between him and Ross on the intro. We doubt that this particular version of the song will ever come out, but a bag is a bag, so who knows what happens?
But beyond all this criticism and speeding incidents, Playboi Carti fans remain very excited for what he’s got for fans. In fact, this might relate not just to his long-awaited album, but to some other collaborative and performance updates. The “FE!N” duo teased a “OOCACTUS” concert, and Carti and Travis Scott electrified die-hards with this hint. For the sake of preserving surprises, we wouldn’t put any money on this actually going down, but fans can dream…
