Playboi Carti (legal name: Jordan Carter) has been found guilty of assault and causing damages to a tour bus, stemming from an alleged altercation in Gretna, Scotland in February 2018, the BBC reports. He was reportedly fined £800 (£500 for assault and £300 for the damage), following a trial at the Dumfries Justice of the Peace Court. According to the BBC, Playboi Carti denied the assault but admitted to damaging a luxury coach bus.
The alleged assault reportedly occurred after issues arose with a double-decker bus that Playboi Carti and his entourage had been using for the rapper’s European tour. After the driver failed to repair the bus, Playboi Carti reportedly “punched the driver,” according to a witness. Two of Playboi Carti’s tour managers claimed that Carti “acted in self-defense,” the BBC reports.
Pitchfork has reached out to Playboi Carti’s representatives.
