Playboi Carti Wiki, Biography
Iggy Azalea’s Baby Daddy is Playboi Carti. Jordan Terrell Carter (born September 13, 1996), known professionally as Playboi Carti, is an American rapper. Carter was initially signed to local underground label Awful Records prior to signing with ASAP Mob’s AWGE Label under Interscope Records. After gaining a cult following early in his career, Carter garnered mainstream attention in 2017.
Carter’s debut mixtape was released in April 2017, and included the Billboard Hot 100 charting singles “Magnolia” and “Woke Up Like This”, featuring Lil Uzi Vert. His debut studio album Die Lit (2018) peaked at number 3 on the US Billboard 200. Following a two-year hiatus with little-to-no new music released, Carter’s highly anticipated second album, Whole Lotta Red (2020), debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and became his first chart-topping release.
Aside from his solo career, Carter established his Opium record label in 2019 which has since signed artists such as Ken Carson and Destroy Lonely.
Jordan Terrell Carter was born in Atlanta and grew up in the nearby suburb Riverdale, Georgia. In a 2016 interview with Complex, he stated, “My ma couldn’t tell me shit. Nobody could tell me shit.” This type of lifestyle influenced Carter to get into trouble as a youth and sway away from the idea of pursuing a higher level of education after high school. He attended North Springs Charter High School in Sandy Springs.
Before rap, Carter wanted to become an NBA star to try and make something of himself. In an interview with The Fader, he said, “I was a young AI and didn’t go to practice. That was the time I was really ducking school and it was all hoop and no rap. I would smoke before practice, get on the court and drop 30.” He stopped playing basketball after a disagreement with his coach. He then dedicated his time to music.
Carter skipped high school classes regularly to work on his music or go to his job at H&M, which led to Carti barely graduating high school. In an interview with The Fader, he said, “I was in class with freshmen finishing work, and if I finished the nine assignments before this time I could graduate.” He was so close to not graduating that no one showed up to his graduation, because they didn’t know it was actually going to take place.
Carter developed a unique fashion sense from an early age, shopping in thrift stores. He told Vogue that he was teased for being an early adopter of new styles, such as colored skinny jeans.
Carti began rapping at an early age under the name Sir Cartier in 2011. He changed it to Playboi Carti in 2013. He began uploading songs on SoundCloud in 2011. In 2014, after meeting producer Ethereal, he joined Awful Records. Carti credits Ethereal with helping him find his sound. Once Carti chose to pursue music full-time, he made the decision to move to New York City with some family.
While in New York City, Carti stayed at his drug dealer’s house, and members of ASAP Mob frequented the house. Carti ran into ASAP Bari, who introduced him to ASAP Rocky. Carti decided to go to Texas with ASAP Rocky. He began to attract attention in 2015 with his singles “Broke Boi” and “Fetti” featuring Da$h and Maxo Kream, both of which were published to SoundCloud.
In 2017, he briefly dated American model Blac Chyna. In 2018, Carter was romantically involved with Rubi Rose, a model and rapper who rose to fame after appearing in the music video for “Bad and Boujee” by Migos. He allegedly shot a gun at Rose after she hid his phones before a flight. They broke up after Carter cheated on her with Blac Chyna.
Later in 2018, Carter began dating Australian rapper Iggy Azalea, whom he met while he was overseas on tour. In December 2018, they moved in together in the Buckhead neighborhood of Atlanta. In 2020, Azalea gave birth to Carter’s son. They split in December 2019. In December 2020, Azalea revealed Carter had cheated on her and missed her son’s birth. Carter refused to sign their son’s birth certificate.
As of June 2019, Carter is living and working in and around the Atlanta area after relocating from Los Angeles.
