Career Ups and Downs
Trippie developed an interest in music at a young age. He listened to artists like Tupac, Lil Wayne, Marilyn Manson, Ashanti, and Beyonce. That is a wide palette of artists, right? In 2014, he released two songs, Ferrari and Sub-Zero. But he deleted them quickly.
In 2017, things changed for the young artist. He met Lil Wop. Before that, he was not even in a professional recording studio. Lil Wop introduced Trippie to the world of rap and music production.
Lil Wop helped him start a professional recording studio. The two of them started working on a couple of projects, including Rock the World Trippie, Awakening My Inner Beast, and more. Trippie signed to the label Strainge Entertainment, which is now called Elliot Grainge Entertainment. He moved to Los Angeles to focus on his music career.

Some of his latest works are a collaboration with rapper KSI on the single Wake Up Call. The song, released in January 2020, reached Number 11 on the UK Singles Chart.
Legal Issues
In May 2018 the police arrested Trippie Redd. The reason was an assault on rapper FDM Grady. According to the police report, Trippie and Lil Wop insulted Grady’s girlfriend, and that led to the rapper draw a firearm. The three engaged in a fistfight, and at one point, four men attacked Grady.
Personal Life

His mother raised him as a single parent. She worked hard to make ends meet, but that was not enough. White was often on the streets, and he got involved in some petty crimes and drug peddling.
In September 2019, rapper 6IX9INE testified that White is a member of the Five Nine Brims gang.
Michael was in a relationship with a couple of ladies in the past few years. In 2016, he dated Mulan Vuitton but broke up with her. She cheated on him. Then, he started dating Angvish, a musician, a year later. The two broke up in 2018.
