Utah rapper arrests and bodycam footage

In July 2026, body‑camera video from a 2025 Utah traffic stop involving rapper NBA YoungBoy was released online, showing officers clocking his Bentley at 109 mph and noting his fame before arresting him for reckless driving. The footage revived public interest in the incident and highlighted Utah’s strict speed‑enforcement policies.

The following day, similar body‑camera footage from an October 2025 Utah arrest of rapper Playboi Carti was posted after a public‑records request. The video captures Carti describing a misdemeanor assault incident and a traffic stop where he mentions touring with The Weeknd, while officers express surprise at encountering the well‑known artist.

On 31 July 2026, a full version of the Carti stop was uploaded by the YouTube channel CUFBOYS. The clip shows Carti repeatedly identifying himself, denying any physical altercation with his driver or a woman identified as his ex‑girlfriend Gio, and referencing a sold‑out tour with The Weeknd. The release reignited social‑media discussion and speculation about the assault charge, but no further court developments have been reported since a pre‑trial hearing earlier in the year.
