Childhood background

Before rap, Carter wanted to become an NBA star to try and make something of himself. In an interview with The Fader, he said, “I was a young AI and didn’t go to practice. That was the time I was really ducking school and it was all hoop and no rap. I would smoke before practice, get on the court and drop 30.” He stopped playing basketball after a disagreement with his coach. He then dedicated his time to music.
Carter skipped high school classes regularly to work on his music or go to his job at H&M, which led to Carti barely graduating high school.
