Details are still coming out about rap star Playboi Carti’s arrest earlier this month. And the altercation between the rap star, his limo driver, and his girlfriend may be even more alarming than what was previously imagined.
Carti Allegedly Threatened to Shoot Limo Driver
According to the dispatch audio obtained by TMZ, Playboi Carti allegedly threatened to shoot the limo driver. Before the altercation was de-escalated.
In the audio, one of the officers tells the dispatcher that the rap star threatened to “hit and shoot” a second driver named Lance Hayes. He also attempted to flee the scene, but was apprehended by the officers shortly after.
To bring things up to speed, Carti was arrested on October 2. After he assaulted his girlfriend, Giovanna Ramos, and his limo driver, Carl Reynolds.
Reynolds did not see Carti punch his significant other because he was driving. However, the limo driver recalled seeing Ramos “hunched over holding near her chest,” according to the police report. This prompted him to pull over to a safer location.
“(The driver) stated the fight was escalating to a point he was uncomfortable and wanted to de-escalate and separate them. The client had two SUVs for service, and the security guard was in the other one. (The driver) stated he contacted him and informed him he wanted them (in) different cars,” the police report reads (Via KSL).
Shortly after the altercation between the rap star and his girlfriend turned physical, Reynolds called Carti’s security guard to help diffuse the situation. Suggested that they ride in separate vehicles.
As Ramos was exiting the vehicle, the rap star punched Reynolds in the face, which led to a brief scuffle that left the limo driver with significant injuries. Including a “bruised, swollen jaw and a whiplash effect .” Carti’s security broke up the scuffle, and shortly after, the police were called to the scene. And the rap star was ultimately arrested.
Carti is due back in court in December.
