Who knew Playboi Carti did his own stunts?
After releasing a deluxe version of his No. 1 album Music — which included four new songs in “Different Day,” “2024,” “Backr00ms” and “FOMDJ” — Carti dropped the video for the latter and channeled Tom Cruise by not needing a stuntman.
After the video went up on YouTube, the Atlanta rapper posted a screenshot on his Opium Instagram page of himself standing on top of a pickup truck with a caption that reads, “I went Tom Cruise. No edit dis s–t real movin car all dat.” He also hung out the truck’s window like the Joker and got a new face tat in the video.
Music marks his second album to reach the top of the albums chart — after 2020’s Whole Lotta Red — with 298,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending March 20, according to Luminate.
He’s also the third artist in history — and first rapper — to chart more than 30 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 in a single week, with “Evil J0rdan” sitting at No. 2 and “Rather Lie” featuring The Weeknd at No. 4. The rest are peppered throughout, with “Walk” ranking the lowest at No. 96.
And while Kendrick and SZA‘s song “Luther” still dominates the Hot 100, the Compton rapper’s three Carti features “Good Credit,” “Backd00r” with Jhené Aiko and “Mojo Jojo” sit at No. 17, No. 25, and No. 17, respectively.
This is the second video to drop from the album in recent weeks, with “Like Weezy” being the first. The videos for “2024,” “Backr00ms,” and “Evil J0rdan” were released over the last year on Instagram and YouTube.
