On June 16, 2022, during a routine night patrol, an officer noticed a Hellcat Challenger speeding at a dangerous 100 miles per hour in a 45-mile-per-hour zone. The officer immediately ran the tag and discovered that the car belonged to the well-known rapper Playboi Carti, famous for his outlandish style in the hip-hop community, where he often paints his nails and dons controversial outfits.
As the officers pursued Playboi Carti’s Hellcat, they accelerated their patrol vehicle to 103 miles per hour to catch up. Once stopped, the officers claimed they had probable cause to search the vehicle, alleging a strong smell of marijuana. Their search uncovered a loaded firearm. Despite the serious infractions, the officer let Playboi Carti off with a warning and a hefty traffic citation.
However, less than 60 days later, Playboi Carti’s luck ran out. He was arrested for driving a Jeep Trackhawk at an astonishing 135 miles per hour in a 55-mile-per-hour speed zone. This reckless behavior landed him in jail, serving as a stark reminder that continued disregard for the law would only lead to more severe consequences. Will this be the wake-up call Playboi Carti needs, or will he find himself behind bars again? Only time will tell.
