Playboi Carti needs to settle up a bill.

According to TMZ, the ‘Whole Lotta Red’ rapper owes some money to Eliantte & Co. Legal documents filed in New York say Carti owes them $97,063.75, which the company says is the remaining balance on two custom-made chains. He ordered them in September of 2020.

The documents say Elliot Eliantte quickly went to work on a 14-carat white gold diamond rosary chain and a custom diamond tennis chain.


Eliantte says Carti was billed $197,063.75 for the pieces. On Jan. 25, Carti paid the jeweler $100,000. But he failed to pay the rest of it after multiple attempts to collect his debt.

Complex has reached out to Carti’s team for a comment.
