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.

GloRilla is currently trekking across North America while headlining her Glorious Tour, but ended up having to cut a St. Louis show short earlier this week after several fights broke out among the audience.

Per local affiliate FOX 2 Now, brawls led GloRilla to end her The Factory show in St. Louis early on Monday night (March 24). Footage emerged online appearing to show women involved in physical altercations in the general admission area as security attempted to intervene.

“Come on man, y’all better than that,” GloRilla said mid-show, attempting to defuse the melees. “They still fighting, what the f–k. Come on, y’all ain’t that mad.”

She continued: “Ain’t nobody did nothing that bad for y’all to be out there fighting. We here to have a good time. Ya’ll supposed to be feeling glorious at the Glorious Tour.”

The 25-year-old eventually had enough as more fights continued to take place, and Glo ended the show and headed backstage.

Billboard has reached out to GloRilla’s reps for comment.

“It was real fun … Up until the fighting,” a fan named Andy Johnston, who attended the show at The Factory, told FOX 2. “It was actually like a WWE fight. It was really fun. We’re up there peeking over — I had front row in the balcony, and it’s like a sea of people. Then you see a little scramble for a second, and people would start running to it.”

He added: “It could be something that makes the artists not want to come here to our city because of all the fighting.”

GloRilla gets back on the road Wednesday night (March 26) with a hopefully more peaceful show slated for Milwaukee’s The Rave-Eagle Club, and then she’ll head to Minneapolis on Thursday (March 27).
