About Trippie Redd’s Wealth

Trippie Redd, the American rapper and singer, possesses a net worth of $5 million. While asserting a $16 million net worth to CelebrityNetWorth in July 2019 through private messages, he failed to substantiate this claim with adequate evidence. His debut studio album, “Life’s a Trip,” was released in 2018 and secured the #4 position on the Billboard 200 chart. One of his singles, “Dark Knight Dummo” featuring Travis Scott, climbed to #29 on the US R&B/Hip-Hop chart and #72 on the Billboard Hot 100. Trippie Redd has been embroiled in feuds with 6ix9ine and XXXTentacion. In September 2019, rapper 6IX9INE testified that Trippie Red is a member of a rival gang, the Five Nine Brims.

About Early Life

Redd, born on June 18, 1999, in Canton, Ohio, bears the birth name Michael Lamar White II. Growing up primarily in Columbus, Ohio, alongside his younger and older brothers, he was exposed to a plethora of music under his mother’s influence. Artists like Ashanti, Beyonce, Tupac, and Nas featured prominently in his early years. Subsequently, he broadened his musical horizons by listening to T-Pain, Kiss, Nirvana, Green Day, the Offspring, and Simple Plan. Tragically, his older brother, known as Dirty Redd, met his demise in a car accident in 2014.

Redd commenced sharing his music online in 2014, taking inspiration from his brother and other rappers like Lil Tae. Following his high school graduation, his relocation to Atlanta led him to cross paths with rapper Lil Wop.

Professional Journey

Guided by Lil Wop, Redd ventured into professional recording studios, commencing a collaboration that birthed three projects: “Awakening My Inner Beast,” “Beast Mode,” and “Rock the World Trippie.” Securing a deal with Strange Entertainment, he eventually shifted base to Los Angeles.

In May 2017, Redd dropped his debut mixtape, “A Love Letter to You.” The lead single, “Love Scars,” amassed over 8 million views on YouTube within months and garnered more than 13 million plays on SoundCloud. His feature on XXXTentacion’s album “17” saw the track “Fuck Love” peak at the 28^th spot on the Billboard Hot 100.

October 2017 welcomed White’s second mixtape, “A Love Letter to You 2,” which made its debut at number 34 on the Billboard 200. A collaborative EP with Lil Wop, “Angels & Demons,” followed later that month. Redd’s single “Dark Knight Dummo” featuring Travis Scott was released in December 2017, while “TR666” surfaced on his SoundCloud account on Christmas day.

In July 2018, White announced his debut studio album, “Life’s a Trip,” consisting initially of 26 tracks but later trimmed down to 16. The album hit the shelves in August that year, entering the Billboard 200 at the fourth spot. A subsequent release, “A Love Letter to You 3,” reached number three on the Billboard 200 later in the year.

May 2019 witnessed Redd drop the track “Under Enemy Arms,” serving as the lead single for his second studio album “!.” July of the same year saw the release of the second single, “Mac 10,” with the complete album hitting the shelves in August 2019 and debuting at number three on the US Billboard 200. While the album didn’t earn widespread critical acclaim, he later rolled out another mixtape dubbed “A Love Letter to You 4,” which made its debut at number one on the Billboard 200, marking his first chart-topping album.

Throughout the first half of 2020, he featured on numerous tracks by other artists, collaborating with KSI, Juice Wrld, and PartyNextDoor. The lead single for his third studio album, “Pegasus,” dropped in June 2020. In August of the same year, the entire album leaked online, only to be officially released in October 2020, securing the second position on the Billboard 200.

Early 2021 heralded the release of the deluxe edition of “Pegasus,” offered in a rock version titled “Neon Shark vs. Pegasus.” He proceeded to announce the impending launch of his fourth studio album, “Trip at Knight,” in the same year. Joining forces with Playboy Carti for the track “Miss the Rage,” the song debuted at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100. Additionally, the single “Holy Smokes,” featuring Lil Uzi Vert, was unleashed. The album “Trip at Knight” was released in August 2021.

Insight into Personal Life

Redd found himself embroiled in various controversies with fellow artists. Specifically, he discredited 6ix9ine on Twitter following allegations of the rapper being a pedophile, leading to an assault by members of 6ix9ine’s entourage at a New York hotel in November 2017. Subsequently, a social media feud ensued between the two in the ensuing years.

His clash with rival rapper XXXTentacion also made headlines, although the duo managed to reconcile, collaborating on multiple occasions. Upon XXXTentacion’s passing in June 2018, Redd commemorated the artist by dyeing his hair.

Redd’s legal entanglements include an arrest in Georgia after an altercation with rapper FDM Grady in May 2018. The incident unfolded following Redd’s alleged derogatory remarks towards Grady’s girlfriend, which escalated to a fistfight after Grady brandished his firearm momentarily. Subsequently, Grady faced an assault from Redd and three other individuals, leading to Redd’s arrest on charges of public fighting, criminal trespass, and simple battery. Another arrest followed a few months later on accusations of pistol-whipping a woman.
