The limo driver—identified as Carl Reynolds—told police he was driving the “FOMDJ” rapper and his entourage from the Waldorf Astoria in Park City to rehearsal when the incident happened. The driver said he thinks Carti hit his girlfriend, but that he didn’t see it happen.
He alleges that Carti punched his girlfriend in the chest, prompting the driver to pull over on the highway where Carti allegedly then punched him in the mouth as the woman was exiting the vehicle.
TMZ adds that another driver at the limo company reportedly witnessed the incident. Wasatch County police responded and confirmed that the investigation is ongoing.
The limousine driver told the outlet he wants to hire a lawyer to ensure the rapper doesn’t harm anyone else.
