Playboi Carti’s birthday in New York didn’t go as planned. The Atlanta rapper took to Instagram to claim that the New York Police Department shut down his party in Brooklyn. He suggested that the massive crowd might have played a role.
“NYPD SHUT ME DOWN,” Carti posted on Instagram. “I TREID SOOO HARD TO CELEBRATE WITH YOU TONIGHT THE MUSIC WAS ABOUT TO BE INSANE I WAS OUTSIDE THE WHOLE TIME THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD LOCK ME UP IF I GOT OUT THE CAR ITS MY F***IN BIRTHDAY WTF.”
Carti’s alternative Instagram account echoed the frustration. “TBH YALL DID YALL THANG 10,000 PEOPLE OUTSIDE VENUE ONLY FIT 3K PD FOLKS TRYING LOCK ME UNFORTUNATELY THANK U NEW YORK. THIIS MY 2ND HOME I GOT YAL,” he wrote.
His birthday wasn’t a total bust as he dropped a new single, “ALL RED,” on his actual birthday. However, his recent events haven’t been limited to New York. Carti also found himself in a social media spat with fellow rapper Lucki. Carti posted private DMs, accusing Lucki of dissing him, which the Chicago rapper quickly denied.
“Like I said from the jump, I don’t dislike you,” Lucki clarified. “You think, yesterday, because I bought a chain and I said, ‘crosses up,’ that I was sneak dissing you because you made a song that said, ‘upside down cross, tat’ on my neck,’ but it wasn’t that though. I just bought a chain and was saying, ‘crosses up.’ You just insecure because you don’t love Jesus like that.”
Meanwhile, Carti also addressed rumors about his new album’s cover art. He confirmed that a fan-made, Dedication-inspired cover isn’t official. Fans are eagerly awaiting more news as pre-orders are already live.
Carti remains a dynamic and controversial figure in the music world. Despite the hiccups, his energy and connection with fans continue to make headlines.
Playboi Carti’s birthday celebrations faced unexpected hurdles, but he continues to engage and entertain his fans. The NYPD shutting down his party and the online drama have only added to the buzz around the rapper.
