Kanye West Claims Playboi Carti Pulled Up On Him With a Gun

During a controversial Twitch livestream, Kanye West alleged that Playboi Carti confronted him at the Chateau Marmont hotel in Los Angeles and threatened him with a gun. West made this claim as part of a series of accusations against Carti, with whom he has had a public and escalating feud in recent months.

Details of the Allegation

Kanye West stated on his stream:

“This na told me he was at the Chateau with a gun, na. What that mean, na? And the na say he don’t be on the internet. It’s like, if you don’t be on the internet, what are we talking about, then? I ain’t say nothing, then.”

West did not clarify whether Playboi Carti actually entered the hotel or if there was a direct confrontation, only that Carti had informed him of his presence at the hotel with a firearm. The incident reportedly left West confused and alarmed.

Background of the Feud

The relationship between Kanye West and Playboi Carti has deteriorated since Carti released his third album, MUSIC, which was both critically acclaimed and commercially successful. West has publicly expressed his displeasure at being left off the album and accused Carti of copying his style and crossing boundaries by attempting to collaborate with West’s daughter, North.

On social media, West threatened to end Carti’s career, referencing the incident with North and criticizing Carti’s actions:

“This na is stupid, bro. You don’t know, when I’m dealing with my kids, this ain’t your niece, na. This is my daughter, na. Don’t fuck with me, boy! Don’t fucking play with me, na! You letting these white people use us against each other, you letting these Jews use us against each other, na. I put you on, na!”

West continued his tirade online, calling Carti “a child” and “fake dark,” and asserting his own status in the industry:

“CARTI YOU A CHILD. YOU FAKE DARK. I BEEN IN THIS SHIT 30 YEARS AND I SEEN AND KNOW WHAT IT REALLY IS. I AM THE DON. I AM THE LEADER.”

He also accused Carti of seeking clout and not protecting West’s children, referencing both North and his other daughter, Chicago:

“THIS CARTI SHIT IS THE FINAL HEARTBREAK. I CAN DEAL WITH CARTI. IF NORTH WAS YOUR NIECE YOU WOULDN’T LET HER GET TRAFFICKED. ALL THIS SHIT IS ABOUT CLOUT FOR ALL Y’ALL. THESE MY REAL KIDS.”

West then labeled Carti “THE NUMBER ONE DEADBEAT ON THE PLANET NEXT TO FUTURE.”

Public and Fan Reactions

Playboi Carti has not publicly responded to Kanye West’s allegations. The claims have sparked significant reactions online, with some fans expressing skepticism about West’s statements and others defending Carti, suggesting that the story might be exaggerated or lacking context.

There has been no official confirmation, police report, or visual evidence regarding the alleged incident at the Chateau Marmont. The situation remains based solely on Kanye West’s account.
