Rapper Trippie Redd broke his silence Monday on two major controversies – his complicated relationship with ex-girlfriend Coi Leray and Kanye West’s recent comments about pioneering rage music.
The “Love Scars” artist clarified why he missed Coi Leray’s recent baby shower, revealing Leray and her family had blocked him from attending. “All communications were redirected to her attorney,” Redd explained on social media, noting he had already distanced himself from the relationship earlier this year.
