Rapper Playboi Carti has been released from custody after being arrested on drug and traffic charges.
Playboi Carti, whose real name is Jordan Carter, was arrested on Thursday after sheriff’s deputies in Georgia, in the US, stopped a Lamborghini with an expired licence plate tag, the sheriff’s office said in a post Friday on Facebook.
They searched the vehicle and found 12 bags of marijuana, three guns and other drugs, including oxycodone, Xanax and codeine, the sheriff’s office said.
