Chicago rapper Lucki suffered a neck and facial laceration in a violent brawl on Saturday afternoon, October 3, in the parking lot outside ComplexCon at the Los Angeles Convention Center — an incident that left four people injured and that the Los Angeles Police Department is now investigating as an attempted murder. The Lucki ComplexCon fight broke out around 4:40 p.m., according to law-enforcement sources cited by TMZ.
The sources told TMZ that Lucki was surrounded by fans posing for photos when an unknown suspect struck him in the side of the face, causing the laceration. Another victim was observed being stabbed, and LAPD officers then located two additional injured victims at the scene — four victims in total. No arrests have been made, and the number of suspects remains unknown.
The Lucki ComplexCon fight: what happened Saturday
Daily Mast reports that officers responded at roughly 4:45 p.m. and found the fight still underway. The four injured people, per Daily Mast’s account: two were hospitalized with apparent knife-attack injuries, one self-transported to a hospital with a severe laceration, and one suffered an elbow cut but declined treatment at the scene.
Three of the victims were reported in stable condition. Lucki’s precise medical condition was not disclosed, though TMZ noted that the rapper reposted content to his Instagram Story around 4 a.m. Sunday — hours after the incident. ComplexCon organizers said the incident occurred on a public street outside the event, that security and LAPD responded immediately, and that the 2026 edition marked the event’s 10th anniversary, running October 3–4, according to Daily Mast.
Playboi Carti was present — but is not implicated
Video from the scene shows rival rapper Playboi Carti watching from his vehicle’s window near where the brawl unfolded. To be absolutely clear: there is no verified evidence that Carti personally participated in or ordered the attack, and this article does not imply otherwise. TMZ and AllHipHop both report his presence; neither implicates him.
The two rappers have a long, tangled history. Lucki and Carti collaborated on the 2015 Freewave remix of “Saucin’,” but their public feud began in 2024 over a cross chain and disputes about religious imagery, AllHipHop reported. AllHipHop, which had a correspondent at ComplexCon, also reports unconfirmed online claims linking the clash to the rappers’ entourages and a reported argument involving Destroy Lonely — but those claims are unconfirmed speculation and should be treated as such.
An attempted-murder investigation with no suspects in custody
LAPD is investigating the incident as an attempted murder, according to law-enforcement sources cited by TMZ — a designation that reflects the severity of the stabbings, not a named suspect. With no arrests and no confirmed suspect count, the investigation remains in its earliest stages, and police have not described a motive. The brawl cast a shadow over ComplexCon’s 10th anniversary edition, and organizers will face questions about security on the public streets around the event — even as they note, accurately, that the fight took place outside the festival grounds themselves.
What comes next for the Lucki ComplexCon fight investigation
What happens now depends on the investigation. Police are reviewing the footage circulating online — including the clip showing Playboi Carti’s vehicle near the scene — but footage of a bystander is not evidence of involvement, and TMZ and AllHipHop have reported none. If Lucki or any of the other victims cooperates with investigators, that could move the case forward; until then, the attempted-murder probe continues with no suspects in custody.
