Playboi Carti is said to have been charged with misdemeanour assault in Utah earlier this month, according to local US police.

Law enforcement officials in Utah have said that Carl Reynolds, a limousine driver, was driving the 30-year-old rapper and subsequently reported him for assault.

Reynolds was said to be driving Carti – real name Jordan Carter – from the Waldorf Astoria hotel to his rehearsals on October 2 in Park City.

Reynolds told police that an argument unfolded in the car, which involved Carti and his girlfriend, and the driver claims that he intervened.

"The driver stated the fight was escalating to a point he was uncomfortable and wanted to de-escalate and separate them. The client had two SUVs for service and the security guard was in the other one. The driver stated he contacted him and informed him he wanted them in different cars," the police report says.

Everyone got out of both vehicles and the driver said Carter "got upset and hit the girlfriend," the report states. The driver said he didn't actually see Carter hit the woman, but noticed that she was "hunched over holding near her chest."

"I turned my head for just a brief minute off to the right hand side, and this — hits me in the face; punches me in the — face," the driver said.

Responding deputies reported noting redness on the left side of the driver's lower jaw. "On the left lower jaw of the driver you could see redness consistent with physical contact. There was also a line on his jaw with a space. It appeared to be consistent with the space on a fist or open hand that is between knuckles. The driver was still shook up but after photos and statement, he was free to leave the area and wanted to do so," the report states.

The girlfriend said she was the one who hit the driver because he "got in her business."

But the security guard told deputies that he elbowed the driver using a martial arts move; Carter said "he punched (the driver) for stopping in a weird place and dropping them off," according to the police report.

Wasatch County police confirmed to TMZ that an investigation into the alleged assault is underway. source source
