Playboi Carti has debuted a new look which has gotten quite a reaction from his fans and drawn comparisons to fictional characters including Wednesday Addams.
The controversial rapper took to his Instagram Live on Friday (March 22) to showed off straight, jet-black hair, which had been parted down the middle and styled into two long braids that went down the side of his face and onto his chest.

This prompted a flurry of comments on X, formerly known as Twitter, in response. “This n-gga want to be passed around like the Hors d’oeuvres tray at the Diddy function,” wrote one commenter, while another user wrote, “Bro wanna be Sexxy Redd so bad.”
And still another remarked, “What i don’t get is why ? Its one thing to be a rebel and different person different from the norm .. But at what point do you look at your self in the mirror and say ‘this might be a little too much ‘ amy [sic] more and dude gonna look like Whitney Houston god test her soul.”

The music video for Future and Metro Boomin‘s “Type Shit,” on which Playboi Carti appears alongside Travis Scott, went live on Friday (March 22), adding to the hype surrounding the new album WE DON’T TRUST YOU.
In it, the four trap titans can be seen surrounded by their crew — including Ken Carson, Doe Boy and CashXO, among others — as they switch roles and jam out to the song in a parking lot and strip club.
Future and Metro Boomin’s new record also includes a song called “Like That” with a surprise feature from Kendrick Lamar. On it, the former TDE rapper takes a number of shots at his peers, kicking things off with a mention of Drake and J. Cole‘s No. 1 single “First Person Shooter” with accusations of “sneak dissin.’”
“Yeah, get up with me/ Fuck sneak dissin’, first person shooter/ I hope they came with three switches,” he raps.

K.Dot then directly references “the big three” (a term commonly used in reference to him, Drizzy and Cole being modern Hip Hop’s primary stakeholders), claiming he’s the only one atop the rap chain.
