Playboi Carti Shows Off Face Piercings and Colored Contacts in New Selfies - Gold Presidents

Playboi Carti is once again showcasing his penchant for reinvention, this time with a striking array of new accessories. A recent selfie of the Atlanta rapper surfaced on social media, revealing fresh cheek piercings and dramatic dark red colored contacts. This latest transformation is in line with Carti's history of bold physical statements. In 2022, he sported an unsettling, Joker-inspired makeup look before his performance at Kanye West’s Donda 2 listening event in Miami. And in 2021, he turned heads with metallic devil horns.

This updated appearance comes on the heels of Playboi Carti offering a sneak peek into some of his forthcoming tracks with Lil Uzi Vert and Travis Scott. Videos circulated on social media of Carti playing these songs at his 27th birthday celebration on September 13.

Playboi Carti has been dropping hints about an impending album release for some time now. His previous project, "A Whole Lotta Red," made its debut in December of 2020, soaring to the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart, marking a significant milestone in Carti's career.
