Playboi Carti Was Co-Director of ComplexCon Festival
Playboi Carti and Japanese designer Hiroshi Fujiwara served as artistic directors for ComplexCon's 10th anniversary event. Carti was scheduled to headline the Sunday concert at Crypto.com Arena. This was the festival's first time in Los Angeles after previous editions in Long Beach and Las Vegas. The event ran October 3–4 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
Multiple Victims Reported in the Altercation
At least four people were injured in the brawl at ComplexCon, according to myTalk 107.1. Three victims were in stable condition, while one transported themselves to receive medical care. IBTimes UK reported that Lucki appeared to have an injury to his face and neck. The exact nature and severity of the injuries remain unconfirmed by official authorities or event organizers.
Tension Built Over a Cryptic Social Media Post
The conflict between Lucki and Carti started after Lucki posted a photo of a chain with the caption "Crossed up" in 2024. Playboi Carti viewed it as a dig at his artistic brand and the upside-down cross symbolism he uses in his music. Lucki publicly denied that the post was aimed at Carti, and the dispute appeared to have cooled before the ComplexCon incident. The underlying friction remained unresolved between the two artists.
