Playboi Carti was arrested for felony aggravated assault in December 2022 after allegedly choking his pregnant girlfriend following an argument over a paternity test (via TMZ).

The woman told cops she wanted to talk to Playboi Carti about the baby and a conversation about a paternity test led to an argument, which she claims escalated to a physical attack. She told police a witness jumped in to try and break up the fight, and when she was able to escape Carti’s grasp, she ran to her car … where she claims he attacked her again.

Playboi Carti was arrested in Georgia for allegedly choking his pregnant girlfriend following an argument over a paternity test.

According to the arrest affidavit, obtained by TMZ, the woman told police the rapper grabbed her by her throat and pushed her, holding her neck until she could barely breathe. She even told cops she thought she was going to die.

The woman, who has not been named, told police she thought she was going to die, according to the arrest affidavit obtained by the outlet.

The woman, who has reportedly been dating the rapper, 26, for over two years and has been living with him in his Georgia mansion since July 2022, told cops she was 14 weeks pregnant at the time of the alleged attack.

“Mr. Carter was falsely accused,” attorney Brian Steel, told the outlet. “Pursuant to my communications with the Fulton County District Attorney‘s office, this case will be dismissed without any prosecution or litigation.”

The rapper has had several run-ins with the law in recent years, including an April 2020 gun and drug bust in Georgia.

At the time, his Lamborghini was pulled over for an expired tag by the Clayton County Sheriff’s Office’s “elite COBRA strike force, who found 12 bags of marijuana, three guns, Xanax, codeine, and oxycodone, the sheriff’s office said in a statement.
