“That one guy on the train everyone sits away from” – Internet in stitches as video of Playboi Carti doing ad-libs in the studio goes viral

After a long 4-year hiatus, Playboi Carti recently dipped his toes in the rap game again. Every few years, Playboi Carti comes out of his cave, drops a string of bangers, and then vanishes again. He's done it again with his recent album, Music. There's no doubt that he's the king of ad-libs, as his songs have become legendary not for lyrical depth, but for sheer chaotic energy.

Recently, a clip viral on social media which shows the Whole Lotta Red star absolutely losing his mind recording the ad-libs in what is perhaps a recording studio.

Fans react hilariously to Playboi Carti launching a tsunami of ad-libs

The video, shot in night vision, offers a glimpse into the world of Playboi Carti to the viewers, which is surreal and oddly comedic at the same time. The video shows Carti sitting in what can presumably be called a recording studio and then leaning into the microphone before unleashing a tsunami of ad-libs so chaotic and incoherent it barely even registers as English.

The video sparked the fuse of the internet community and the internet imploded with memes and jokes galore. The netizens had a field day on social media as they ridiculed the Magnolia-famed star for his rambling, and everybody came with their own analogies:

"That one guy on the train everyone sits away from," joked one user (via X / @KingLevnar_)

"This looks like a scene from the conjuring," quipped another (via X / @WorldDarkWeb)

"Bro sound like a cockroach in a corner talking to the crumbs it found," claimed another fan (via X / @aryemusic)

When Playboi Carti's clip dropped on social media, fans flocked to watch it, thinking there might be some unforeseen clips from his album, or if they were lucky, a new song. Except the song was nowhere to be found in the clip. Oh, how they were proven wrong!

Of course, no viral moment is complete without conspiracy theories, and Playboi Cati’s ad-lib extravaganza was no exception. The fans came up with really amusing theories: some said he forgot the lyrics and just rolled with it while others argued that it was performance art. There was even a rumor circulating on X that he was trying to communicate with aliens.

The wave of reactions sparked a lot of hilarity on social media as fans kept the ball rolling:

"Second half sounded like one of them homeless cats that be roaming the alley," remarked one fan (via X / @LightShow_Jerk)

"Idk which is worse mufasa singing or this," wondered another (via X / @PhilOnChain)

"He too grown for this s*** btw," commented another user (via X / @frxzenwave)

The video has caused quite a stir on social media as fans lost their minds—half calling it genius, half calling it noise. Then there’s the fact that the video has no context- fans debated why Playboi Carti felt the need to do this. Was this a warm-up? A spiritual awakening? Did he stub his toe and just decide to freestyle the pain? We may never know, and that’s the beauty of it.

One fan (@therealmvniak) was, however, willing to let it slip:

"Dawgs music comes out nice so he gets a pass," claimed the fan.

Trending

Since the video came out, fans have been scrambling to meme Playboi Carti's latest video and syncing it to everything under the sun. The weirdest thing about it? It works! Playboi Carti's video is quite possibly the funniest thing to hit the web in recent times. Whether you loved it, hated it, or thought it was secretly a cry for help, there’s no denying the impact of this generational moment.

It may look weird in real-time, but it sure does make up for it when the actual song comes out. Because those ad-libs come out lit!
