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.

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.
