Playboy Carti BioSnap a weekly updated Biography. All eyes in hip hop are on Playboi Carti this week after he made major headlines by announcing the highly anticipated 2025 Antagonist Tour, his first solo headlining arena run since 2021. According to news from The Music Universe and Live Nation, Carti’s tour kicks off October 3 in Salt Lake City and will snake through 28 major cities, including Los Angeles, Chicago, Brooklyn, and Atlanta for a hometown finale on December 1 at State Farm Arena. The tour is especially notable as it revives and expands the dream of the previously canceled 2023 Antagonist Tour, now with Carti front and center following his support slot earlier this year on The Weeknd’s After Hours Til Dawn Tour. Joining him on the road are all of his Opium Collective protégés—Ken Carson, Destroy Lonely, Homixide Gang, and Apollo Red—promising each night will be a showcase of his influential sound and label power according to WiLD 106.1 and Secret Atlanta. The timing could not be bigger. Carti’s fourth studio album MUSIC and its deluxe edition MUSIC – SORRY 4 DA WAIT scorched the charts this spring, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with a staggering 298,000 album equivalents its first week. Billboard reports the album set the record for the highest debut of 2025 on Spotify, pulling in 139 million first-day streams, and has notched over three billion streams worldwide. Most astonishingly, every single track on the project landed on the Billboard Hot 100, which only Taylor Swift and Morgan Wallen have matched in chart history as reported by Rolling Stone and NME. The album has drawn comparisons to “rap-reconfiguring” projects, solidifying Carti as one of the most distinctive voices in the industry. Carti’s dominance also played out on TV. He delivered a scene-stealing performance medley at this summer’s BET Awards, where he was nominated, and shared the GRAMMY stage with The Weeknd. Their high-profile collaboration "Timeless" is in the running for three MTV VMA awards this fall. On social media, the tour announcement trended instantly, with fans hyping both dates and VIP packages offering early entry, exclusive merchandise, and more, according to The Music Universe and SXcel Energy Center. While there have been the usual flurry of rumors and speculative posts regarding future collaborations or more international dates, no official confirmation has been given. Ultimately the latest chapter for Playboi Carti is all about cementing his legacy with a record-breaking album and a headline tour that is set to dominate the headlines, social feeds, and playlists for the rest of the year.
