Playboi Carti's height is 6 feet 1 inch, and he stopped aspiring to be an NBA player after a disagreement with his school coach. Instead, he had numerous court cases, smoked before practice, and dodged school.

As a result, Jordan also stopped planning for higher learning education. He almost missed his high school diploma because of skipping classes to work at H&M and making music.

None of his loved ones attended the event because they did not know he was graduating. Jordan later quit the H&M job because he hated being an upcoming rapper working at that place.

Who is Playboi Carti's wife?
