Trippie Redd says hackers who managed to get their hands on his album before it was released threatened to hold it hostage until he paid them.
“I was held for ransom on my project. They wanted me to pay them a million dollars because they had all my records. Every single last one. All the features,” he told Zane Lowe.
He continued, “On top of that, the Travis [Scott] song, I had it, but I didn’t have the session, so that’s what Travis sent to me, I didn’t mix it, my engineer didn’t mix it. And I had to run it, because, if I didn’t the whole project would’ve leaked and it would have been a big thing.”
Trippie also talked with Rolling Stone where he praised Chief Keef for his help with Mansion Musik.
“I’m a big fan of Sosa. I reached out to people to be on the album that are Sosa-inspired. He invented the style of beats on this album,” Trippie says. “A lot of people don’t give him credit where it’s due.”
