Playboi Carti has been turning heads with his Instagram posts recently. After 25-year-old Atlanta-raised artist debuted a Joker-esque makeup look at Kanye's Donda 2 event in Miami while performing their Donda track "Off the Grid," he continued to post similar looks on his Instagram page.
Carti could be seen wearing dark makeup around his eyes, along with dark red makeup on his lips. He paired it with a furry black jacket, baggy jeans, and combat-style boots in the photos he posted on Monday (February 28). The post is one of two left on his Instagram page, as fans speculate about his new look being a precursor to a new album.
Carti isn't the first rapper to debut a bold makeup look in recent months. NBA YoungBoy shocked fans after revealing that he likes to wear goth-style makeup. YoungBoy opened up about wearing the makeup for his "Black Ball" video, telling DJ Akademiks, "I like doing my face, I like painting my face or putting makeup on. I like to look in the mirror and see everything black, my eyes and sh*t." He added, "That’s 100 percent real. That’s me being myself. I feel comfortable in a way."
