Early years
Playboi Carti is the stage name of Jordan Terrell Carter, a rap and model singer. He was born on September 13, 1996 in Atlanta, Georgia. Jordan Terrell Carter spent his childhood and adolescence in Riverdale.
His parents decided to move there to ensure that Jordan has a good childhood and also to ensure his childhood security. He went to North Springs Charter High School that is located in Sandy Springs. Jordan used to run away from school during high school to devote himself to practice on his musical compositions. This, of course, didn’t have such a good influence on his grades so he never excelled in any of his classes.
At that moment, music was a priority to him and he always tried to find ways to work on his music. That is why he spent most of his childhood and teenage years on the street and with his friends, practicing his rhymes. In the end, that proved to be beneficial and he definitely proved to be a great rapper.
This is how, since he was young, he started to rap under the nickname of Sir Cartier. However, from this beginning there is no trace, because it has been removed from the web. There probably is a reason why Playboi Carti decided to remove all the data from that period. Maybe he wasn’t too proud of his early years and wanted to delete those moments from his memory.
Few years later, he definitely showed himself to be worthy of creating great music, and his songs became amazingly successful not only in the USA but also in other countries around the globe.
Career development
The pseudonym of Playboi Carti himself put it on, to sign in 2012 with the Awful Records label. But it was not until 2015 that he attracted the attention of the crowd with his singles “Fetti” “Broke Boi” with Maxo Kream and Da $ h, both songs uploaded on Soundcloud.

Among the criticisms and opinions he has received is that of Complex, which he called his rap style as “sober and focused on fluency and phrases that are catchy”. Likewise, Briana Younger said that Playboi’s rap is a less lyrical and more atmospheric music and added that “everything that Carti lacks in substance makes up for with audacity”.
The musical style of Playboi Carti has been influenced by the careers of Young Thug, Gucci Mane, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Wayne, A $ AP Rocky and Chief Keef.

Playboi Carti has preferred brands such as Balmain and RAF Simons, who met at a parade in New York. In the video of the subject “RAF” of ASAP Mob, Carti appears with ASAP Rocky and Quavo wearing some garments of RAF Simons, as a dedication to the brand.

It is no wonder that after amazing hit songs that Playboi Carti put out, he has made a ton of money. He has been in the spotlight since he shocked the rap scene with his hit songs and since then the money keeps on pouring into his bank account.
His current net worth is around 8$ million, but considering that he is only 22 years old, we will see more of him in the future.

Instead of spending time in school, he liked going to thrift stores and trying on different outfits. This is why his current style is so versatile and unique that many try to copy him.
Personal life
Like we already mentioned, Jordan Terrell Carter spent his childhood and adolescence in Riverdale. His parents decided to move there to ensure that Jordan has a good childhood and also to ensure his childhood security. He went to North Springs Charter High School that is located in Sandy Springs.
Jordan used to run away from school during high school to devote himself to practice on his musical compositions. This, of course, didn’t have such a good influence on his grades so he never excelled in any of his classes.
At that moment, music was a priority to him and he always tried to find ways to work on his music. That is why he spent most of his childhood and teenage years on the street and with his friends, practicing his rhymes. In the end, that proved to be beneficial and he definitely proved to be a great rapper.
His life is, of course, not clean from controversies. Like many other rappers he had his fair share of experiences with the authorities. One big incident happened on an airport with his then girlfriend.
In mid-2017 Playboi Carti was arrested for domestic abuse, however, he did not face charges for that reason. The cause of the arrest was to argue with his girlfriend and take her backpack violently and take her out of Los Angeles International Airport, which was where the dispute began.
We already mentioned that Playboi Carti loves changing his appearance and wearing different styles. His outfits are described as versatile and many in the public eye are trying to copy his originality but fail at doing so. His favorite fashion brands are currently Balmain and Raf Simmons. Many designers noticed his great sense of style and fashion, so he modelled often for various fashion brands like Louis Vuitton, VFiles and many more.
Playboy Carti is one of those celebrities that sparks a lot of controversy and talk around the town. His sexuality is something that has often been the subject of rumors and discussions among others. Even though he has a girlfriend, rumors made others think that he might not be what he presents himself to be.
It was actually his girlfriend who exposed him and told the press that he has a “thing” for someone who is the same sex as him, which sparked a lot of conversations. So far. Carti dated Alexis Sky in 2017, but there aren’t many information available about their relationship. They liked to keep things private among themselves and it stayed that way until they ended their relationship.
After things ended badly with Alexis, he fell in love with Blac Chyna, who is a well-known socialite and already a mother of two children with two other famous celebrities, Tyga and Rob Kardashian. There was talk around the town that Carti was also in love with Ruby Rose but Ruby told the press that he cheated on her with Blac Chyna and their relationship ended there. Carti didn’t respond to any of these rumors, so we have yet to confirm them.
His music style is described as mumble rap that has been very popular in the past several years. Along with several other rappers that are currently “in style” he is the biggest representative of the modern sound of rap that has evolved from the classic street rap that we all know. The new genre of music has often been described as a performance more than anything.
Carti is definitely one of a kind when he is on the stage, which makes him unique and interesting for the public eye. Carti is currently residing in Los Angeles, where he has a mansion. His work is also located mostly in L.A. and he seems to be tied to this California city permanent.
In 2018, rumors started about him dating an Australian rapper Iggy Azalea. Besides being known in the USA, Carti is very popular around the globe. His songs can are being played in Europe, Asia and Australia because the rap is definitely the current “it” music. Especially mumble rap that is so popular right now.
Carti has many faithful followers on all of his social media, and they are keeping track of his every move. He has several million people liking his posts and supporting him, and those are the people that live around the globe. We can certainly expect much more from this talented young rapper, since his time is yet to come. More songs are going to be released very soon, and the fans are eagerly expecting them.
