Trippie Redd was taken into custody Thursday (July 4) while attempting to board an international flight out of Miami, MTO has learned.
According to an arrest report, the Ohio rapper, whose real name is Michael Lamar White IV, was attempting to catch a flight to France from Miami International Airport when he was apprehended on an active warrant stemming from a 2023 case in Miami-Dade County.
The 26-year-old was arrested without incident and transported to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. Footage posted online shows bystanders voicing their frustration as police led the “Love Scars” artist through the terminal.
Trippie was reportedly headed to Europe to perform at Belgium’s Les Ardentes Festival, where he was scheduled to hit the stage Saturday. He was booked on Lufthansa Flight LH1378.
