Much of his early work has been deleted from the Internet. Carti hated the idea of being an upcoming rapper working at H&M, so he made the decision to quit.Ĭarti shopped in thrift stores in his youth, something that has had an effect on his fashion and music style.Ĭarti began rapping at an early age under the name Sir Cartier in 2011 and soon after changed it to Playboi Carti in 2013.
