"Record producer" in the first sentence needs to be removed... Someone once again re-added this for whatever reason even tho this request was submitted and approved before... so this needs to be deleted once again. Probably would be a good idea to leave a note on the page as well to keep people from adding that in since people love to keep insisting that hes any thing more than just a rapper despite being a rapper is literally all he really all he really does. If we're going to list every single thing he slightly ventured to why isnt "tattoo artist" in the lede as well? 158.140.61.7 (talk) 01:50, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: Do you have a better, freely licensed photo we can upload to Wikimedia Commons? We can't just take a random image from online; that's copyright infringement, which is illegal. Bsoyka (t • c • g) 02:54, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Playboi Carti confirmed his birthday to be September 13, 1995 and not 1996.

I'm requesting for an edit to be made so Playboi Carti's birth of date just has 1995 and not both '95 and '96. During the arrest of Playboi Carti back in September of 2022, he is asked his date of birth while being in the back of a cop car. He stated that his birthday is September 13th of 1995. There is video footage of him saying this. I will link it at the bottom of this.

thank for this, i inputted it into the article HappyBoi3892 (talk) 00:53, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted. Going by the policy of WP:DOB, there are multiple conflicting sources, including articles with the article subject stating they are an age that at the time conflict with a 1995 or 1996 birth year. If the article subject themselves is stating conflicting ages, we can't choose one over the other.

This has been discussed several times on the talk page with editors wanting to use the body cam footage for inclusion (it comes up almost monthly), but it has been considered a primary source in those discussions.

If anyone reading disagrees that there are conflicting sources, feel free to address on the BLP noticebosrd.

Playboi Carti's Single "ALL RED" Debuts at No. 1 on Spotify USA with 3.4 Million Plays

On September 13, 2024,Playboi Carti achieved a significant milestone in his career with the release of his highly anticipated single "ALL RED." The track debuted at No. 1 on Spotify USA, racking up an impressive 3.4 million plays within its first 24 hours. This marked Carti's biggest streaming debut to date, reinforcing his status as one of the most influential figures in contemporary hip-hop. "ALL RED" is a continuation of the distinctive sound that Carti has become known for—melding infectious trap beats, minimalist production, and his signature ad-libs. The single has been described as a return to his raw, experimental roots, reminiscent of his groundbreaking Whole Lotta Red album released in 2020. Fans and critics alike have praised the song for its high energy and avant-garde approach, which blends aggressive flows with hypnotic, layered instrumentals.
