Playboi Carti had a remarkable time with fans at ComplexCon 2024 in Las Vegas. On Saturday night, the Atlanta disruptor took the stage and delivered a relentless, high-octane set that blurred the lines between music, movement, and raw chaos.
The audience a mix of die-hard fans and streetwear disciples erupted into a frenzy as Carti stormed through hits like “ALL RED” and “BACKR00MS.” Each track heated with an energy that only Carti could conjure, his hypnotic flows bouncing off walls painted with rage and rebellion.
For an artist notorious for moving in silence, this was him on loud, and the crowd couldn’t get enough.
Then came the announcement that shook the room. Carti, drenched in sweat and adrenaline, revealed that I AM MUSIC, his long-teased album, will feature production from Kanye West. The two have history — tracks like “Off The Grid” and “CARNIVAL” are proof of their explosive chemistry. This collaboration promises to be on another level entirely.
Beyond the music, Carti’s fingerprints were all over the event. Fans swarmed ComplexCon rocking backward jerseys, a tribute to the rapper’s viral Penny Hardaway moment that even caught the Orlando Magic’s eye earlier this year.
The fashion statement, born from Carti’s love of ’90s nostalgia and chaos-driven style, has become a full-blown movement. On stage, the rapper rocked a full black Pellepelleus Marc Buchanan leather pants and jacket.
To fans, Carti ensured he set a reminder that his influence extends far beyond the studio, bleeding into fashion, culture, and the unspoken language of his cult-like following.
ComplexCon may be about connecting brands and buyers, but on this night, it belonged to Carti. As he prepares to unleash I AM MUSIC into the world, one thing is clear: Playboi Carti is not just leading the wave; he is the wave.
