He allegedly tried to pull her out of the car and put his hand over her mouth as she tried to push the car’s SOS feature to call the cops, the outlet reported.
She reportedly had visible injuries on her chest, back and neck and the rapper was arrested for felony aggravated assault.
Brian Steel, Playboi’s attorney, said: ‘Mr. Carter was falsely accused. Pursuant to my communications with the Fulton County District Attorney’s office, this case will be dismissed without any prosecution or litigation,’ via TMZ.
Playboi Carti, born Jordan Carter, has a son named Onyx Kelly, three, with rapper Iggy Azalea, 32.
Iggy, born Amethyst Amelia Kelly, gave birth to Onyx in June 2020. The former lovebirds were in a relationship from December 2018 until they split in December 2019.
They met while he was touring overseas.
She confirmed they were not together in October 2020, four months after welcoming their son, adding that they were co-parenting him.
Hours after the alleged fight with his pregnant girlfriend was revealed, Iggy took to her Twitter on Tuesday, February 14, to slam her baby daddy.
The Australian rapper wrote: ‘Imagine having a pregnant girlfriend and pretending they don’t exist until it comes out you like to abuse them too – & rarely visiting your actual son unless is because you’re running from whatever problems ya got going on in Atlanta & the press with your serial abuse of woman,’ she tweeted out.

In October 2020, Iggy wrote on Instagram: ‘Onyx is so loved by his dad and has always had both parents in his life from day one,’ just days after she said she was ‘raising [her] son alone’ and ‘not in a relationship.’
Two months later, Iggy said she wanted to ‘work on’ her relationship with Playboi, after she claimed he was unfaithful to her while they were together, via Us Weekly.
‘Having a baby even one you both want can be a big change, so I had been doing what I felt was best for my family. Every time I’ve said I’m happy to send a nanny with Onyx to Atlanta this man would say, “I only want to see him if you are there too, I want to see my FAMILY,’ via Us Weekly.
However, she later called him ‘trash’ for missing Christmas with Onyx: ‘Too bad you got an album out but can’t even come to Christmas with your own son,’ she wrote on Christmas Eve 2020 on her Twitter account.
‘Imagine not flying out your family on Christmas but you have the girl you cheated on my entire pregnancy at your album party and magically me and my son can’t come for Christmas any more? TRASH.’
‘I would never decide to do something of my own free will that meant missing a milestone moment with my son and if you do you’re trash,’ she tweeted.
A fan tweeted to her ‘Spend as much time as you can especially while he’s still a baby,’ to which she responded with: ‘Period!!! You can’t rewind time.’
‘I’ve not said anything (and could say much more) for the longest time because I know the net won’t side with me & that I’m hated. But Christmas? And this b****h “proud” of you in her stories? Lmfaooo. I’ve covered for so long hoping you’d do better. A lot of women related. To clarify this man was literally at my house last night telling me he loves me.’
She closed out her tweets writing that she hopes that women see her tweets: ‘I hope this message gets to you girl. Although you hid in a whole closet from my house keeper so its not like you have any dignity I guess.’
