What is the history between Lucki and Playboi Carti?
Lucki and Carti traded public barbs in September 2024 before the exchange cooled. After Carti released the song “All Red,” he appeared to take offense at Lucki showing off a chain with a “crosses up” remark. Carti then posted older direct messages in which Lucki praised him, and Lucki answered with screenshots of Carti praising him.
Lucki maintained that his remarks were not aimed at Carti, and AllHipHop notes that the dispute seemed to cool down afterward. Where Is The Buzz also reports that Lucki was involved in a public feud with Destroy Lonely, an artist signed to Carti’s Opium label.
What are ComplexCon’s weapons and security policies?
ComplexCon states a strict zero-tolerance policy on weapons on its website, according to Where Is The Buzz. Event organizers say they coordinate safety plans with the venue, corporate security and law enforcement, and that both uniformed and undercover security officers are on site.
The 2026 edition marks the festival’s 10th anniversary and its first appearance in Los Angeles, spread across the Los Angeles Convention Center and Crypto.com Arena, according to the festival’s official announcement.
