Trippie Redd Says Hackers Wanted Him to Pay $1 Million or They’d Leak His New Album

Trippie Redd went through some drama trying to get his latest album, Mansion Musik, into the ears of his devoted fans. According to the 2018 XXL Freshman, hackers threatened to leak his album if he didn’t cough up $1 million.In an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, which was posted on YouTube last Thursday (Feb. 2), Trippie Redd revealed that songs for his Mansion Musik album were initially hacked and held for a $1 million ransom.”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.” So Trippie had to rush the project out to thwart the hackers. In doing so, however, some of the songs on the LP weren’t mixed properly, including “Krzy Train” featuring Travis Scott. “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,” he explained. “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.” But don’t fret, Trippie Redd said he plans to re-upload Mansion Musik again with properly mixed versions of the songs.
