About this listen
Playboi Carti has made headlines this week for a mix of tour activity, industry drama, and controversy surrounding his label affiliates. The biggest story currently swirling is an unconfirmed report that Carti may have sent Tyler the Creator a cease and desist over Carti’s verse on Tyler’s Chromakopia project, specifically the vinyl-only track Thought I Was Dead with ScHoolboy Q. HotNewHipHop details that this rumor gained momentum after fans noticed Carti’s contributions did not appear on digital or streaming versions of the Chromakopia album. Speculation suggests contract disputes or business decisions could be behind the removal, but neither artist has publicly acknowledged the situation. The rumor appears to have originated from social media and remains unverified, yet it concerns fans given the strong collaborative history between Carti and Tyler, from Telephone Calls on Cozy Tapes to their IGOR-era chemistry.
In the live music sphere, Carti’s name remains in bright lights thanks to his scheduled role as an opener for The Weeknd on the After Hours Til Dawn Tour. However, VancouverIsAwesome reported a late-breaking twist: Carti was dropped from The Weeknd’s Vancouver and other Canadian shows due to border crossing issues, likely related to prior legal entanglements. LiveNation confirmed his removal through an official social post, citing he will miss Canadian dates, though he is still billed for major US shows like Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field on July 30 and 31 according to WDAS and Trip.com. Social media buzz and TikTok clips show fans discussing exclusive tour merch featuring both The Weeknd and Carti, keeping fan engagement high despite the scheduling hiccups.
Controversy struck closer to home for Carti’s Opium collective. AllHipHop describes a festival debacle involving Destroy Lonely, an Opium-signed artist, who is under fire after allegedly pushing a teen fan off stage at Beach Please Festival in Romania, resulting in serious injuries. While Carti himself was not involved, this has rekindled scrutiny of his label and its artists’ conduct, intensifying public conversation around fan safety at rap shows.
Amid these headlines, Carti has remained focused on his music, with industry outlets reiterating that he’s at work on his anticipated album Baby Boi. While Carti himself has stayed relatively quiet on social media, fan pages and Instagram reposts keep his name in rotation, teasing updates and sharing snippets but nothing officially confirmed from Carti’s own channels. As always, with Carti, it’s a careful dance between public anticipation, controversy, and calculated silence.
