Police said the victim told them she arrived at 3750 Tuxedo Road NW in Atlanta to talk Playboi Carti, whose real name is Jordan Carter, about their baby and a paternity test because she was 14 weeks pregnant.
She said the conversation turned physical when Carter attacked her by grabbing her by the throat and pushing her into the bushes outside the home. The victim said she could barely breathe and thought she was going to die.
She also told police there were two other men at the home who stood by and did not attempt to break up the fight.
Another female witness jumped into the fight and tried to break them up but Carter was still holding the victim by the neck, the document said.
