Playboi Carti has been arrested after allegedly choking his pregnant girlfriend in a row over a paternity test.
Playboi Carti’s lawyer insists his client has been ‘falsely accused’
The 26-year-old rapper has been accused of grabbing the unnamed woman – who he has been dating for more than two years – by the throat and holding onto her neck until she gasped for air on December 20, TMZ reports.
The hip-hop star – whose real name is Jordan Carter – was arrested for felony aggravated assault in Georgia.
The female, who said she was 14 weeks pregnant at the time, feared for her life, according to the arrest affidavit form obtained by the outlet.

The ‘Black Widow’ hitmaker claimed his people had been wanting her “silence” over the interview but wanted to make it clear his words were “not reflective” of reality.
