A well-known hip-hop artist recently found himself in legal trouble after reportedly striking a limousine driver during a tour stop in Utah earlier this month.

According to a police report accessed by KSL.com through a public records request, Wasatch County sheriff’s deputies responded to a call about a disturbance on October 2 near River Road and State Route 40.

The initial report came from a witness who saw two men in an altercation and noted the involvement of two black SUVs. Shortly after, the limo driver, who claims to be the victim, contacted the authorities and stayed on-site until law enforcement arrived.

The driver informed deputies that he had picked up his “client,” identified as Jordan Terrell Carter, better known as Playboi Carti, in Park City. They were en route to Utah County at the time of the incident, as detailed in the police report.

Carter was in the area for a performance at the Delta Center scheduled for October 3. The driver stated his task was to take Carter to a rehearsal in Utah County.

Requesting anonymity, the limousine driver told KSL.com that his employer had been contracted to handle Carter’s transportation needs during his stay in Utah.

The driver recounted the day of the incident, picking the rapper and his entourage up from a hotel in Park City to drive them to Utah Valley University in Orem for Carter’s rehearsal.

He also noted that the couple was smoking marijuana in the vehicle, according to the report.

“(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.

The driver said he stopped the vehicle, which the report says “upset” Carter’s girlfriend.

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.”

The driver said Carter then “hit him on the left (s)ide of his face when he was not looking,” the report alleges.

“I turned my head for just a brief minute off to the right hand side, and this (expletive) hits me in the face; punches me in the (expletive) face,” the driver told KSL.com.

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.

Deputies also spoke separately with Carter, his security guard and his girlfriend to get their accounts of what occurred.

The girlfriend said she was the one who hit the driver because he “got in her business,” the report states.

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.

Carter was issued a citation for assault.

“Although he (Carter) asked if there was a way to take care of it now, I informed him no, it will need to go through the court process,” the deputy wrote in the report. “(Carter) was compliant with law enforcement but mad that (the limo driver) was doing this based on his status. Jordan complied with photos of his hands but would not allow any photo of his face to identify the hands.”
