In December 2022, Playboi Carti was arrested for allegedly choking his pregnant girlfriend.
According to TMZ, the incident took place on December 20 in Fulton County, Georgia following an argument over a paternity test.

The woman told police that Carti grabbed her by the throat and pushed her, holding her neck until she could barely breathe. She said she feared for her life during the attack.
According to the alleged victim, a witness then jumped in to try and break up the fight and help her escape his grasp. She said Playboi Carti then attacked her again when she ran to her car.

The woman also claimed that the rapper 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 cops arrived, police discovered visible injuries to her neck, chest and back.

The woman told police that she had been in a relationship with Carti for two years and they had lived together since July 2022. She was 14 weeks pregnant at the time of the alleged incident.
Playboi Carti previously welcomed a son, Onyx Kelly, with his ex-girlfriend Iggy Azalea in April 2020. The couple reportedly split up before his birth.
During an interview with XXL last year, Carti opened up about fatherhood while praising Iggy’s parenting skills.
“I’m a father. You know what I’m saying? You know how it is having kids. I just got responsibilities. I pay a lot of bills. I take care of a lot of people,” he said.

“I take care of my mom. I take care of my family. I take care of my baby mom [and] I take care of my son. There’s a lot of people I take care of. So, it’s like, I gotta keep doing it.”
He continued: “[My son’s] birthday is coming up in three weeks. I got him a crazy chain, too. He’s going to be a problem. That’s who you need on the next cover. He’s beautiful. And Iggy, she’s a great mom. I love her to death.

“I’m single. She’s single now. But that’s one of the best mothers in the world. And that’s what you got to put in the book, you hear me? I love her to death. She is the best mother in the world.”
