Trippie Redd is definitely one of the more successful rappers to come out of the Soundcloud
scene of hip-hop.
The 20 year old rapper from Canton, Ohio was even called “The Frank Sinatra of the culture”
by Vice back in 2017.
During his career, Trippie Redd has had multiple Billboard hits such as “Love Scars 3”
and “Dark Knight Dummo” with Travis Scott which has over 106,000,000 views on YouTube
at the time of this recording.
Trippie Redd even had his album “A Love Letter To You 4” peak at #1 on the Billboard
200 list.
But despite all of the success Trippie Redd has had over the last few years, he still
unfortunately found himself behind bars multiple times.
Curious on what events led to Trippie Redd being put behind bars?
Well, then we got you covered.
Here is an exclusive inside look at the Criminal History of Trippie Redd.
Trippie Redd, born Michael Lamar White IV, grew up in Canton, Ohio, which the FBI claims
to be the most dangerous city in all of Ohio.
The city has a population of just 70,000 people, but has a violent crime rate 224.42% higher
than the national average.
Growing up in this kind of area led to Trippie Redd getting involved with the Bloods at an
early age and claimed to be quite the troublemaker growing up.
It is unknown whether or not Trippie Redd got arrested at all growing up since he never
seems to talk about his past much in any interviews and if he was ever arrested, those records
would be sealed since he would have been a juvenile at the time.
Trippie continued living this reckless type of lifestyle up until his older brother died
in a car accident in 2014.
Rest In Peace.
After his brother's passing, Trippie became really depressed and felt like he had no one
in his life.
He soon distanced himself from the gang life and pursued music instead, which he claimed
took him from a real dark place, to a real bright one.
Trippie Redd then went on to make multiple hits and eventually signed a life changing
record deal with 10k Projects and even signed a management deal with QC.
But despite all of the success, Trippie Redd still unfortunately found himself caught up
in some legal troubles.
Trippie Redd’s first arrest happened in late May of 2018.
While in Atlanta, he and fellow rapper Lil Wop, went to a local rapper by the name of
FDM Grady’s house to hang out.
During the time at Grady’s house, Trippie Redd apparently was being disrespectful to
FDM Grady’s girlfriend.
This upset Grady and he proceeded to pull a gun out at Trippie.
Grady then put the gun down to fight Trippie with just fists.
But just as the fight was about to start, four other people apparently jumped Grady,
with one of them being rapper Lil Wop.
Shortly after, the cops arrived and arrested both Trippie Redd and Lil Wop.
Trippie and Wop were both booked into jail and charged with two misdemanors for fighting
and criminal trespass.
It was also revealed later on that Trippie was charged with simple battery as well.
They were both released shortly after being booked.
The outcome of this case was determined about 6 months after all of this took place, with
Trippie Redd accepting a plea deal.
This deal was a no contest plea which only convicted Trippie on a disorderly conduct
charge, while the other simple battery, criminal trespass, and fighting in public charges were
dropped.
This resulted in Trippie Redd getting no jail time, but was instead sentenced to 6 months
of probation and had to pay $2,425 in restitution to FDM Grady.
It is unknown how everything played out for Lil Wop, but it was most likely similar to
Trippie’s.
Then, less than a month after he was arrested for the fight with FDM Grady, Trippie was
arrested yet again in Atlanta, Georgia.
At around midnight on June 12, 2018, an unidentified woman came to the place where Trippie Redd
and his now ex-girlfriend Ayleks were staying at while in Atlanta.
This woman apparently had a conflict with Trippie and Ayleks prior to this incident,
and returned to confront the two once again.
As the woman and Ayleks were arguing back and forth, things apparently were about to
get physical between the two, when Trippie Redd supposedly pistol-whipped the woman in
the back of the head.
Police were then called to the scene and once they saw a bump on the woman's head, arrested
Trippie Redd and booked him into the Fulton County jail on 2 charges, aggravated assault
and battery causing physical harm.
Now you would think that a guy like Trippie Redd would just be able to bond out and go
home, but that wasn’t the case in this situation.
You see, since Trippie was arrested just weeks before this for other violent crimes, the
judge was hesitant to let him out so he ended up spending about 6 days in jail before being
released on June 18, which just so happened to be his 19th birthday.
I tried my best to find out how this case played out but I couldn’t seem to find anything.
I assume that Trippie either beat the case since the woman pretty much admitted that
she was going there to start a confrontation and if he didn’t beat the case, he most
likely got sentenced to probation or had to pay a fine because he definitely didn’t
serve any jail time for this, It’s also a possibility that the case is still ongoing
but since it happened almost 2 years ago, I highly doubt it.
Trippie Redd has pretty much stayed out of trouble ever since and has no other arrests
to my knowledge.
I hope he continues doing so because I, along with millions of others, really enjoy Trippie
Redd’s music.
