Trippie Redd is closely knitted with his mother and a younger brother, but he mentions his dad in his interviews very rarely. It is simple to explain it – his father, Mr. Michael Lamar III, didn’t raise him. He was taken to prison for illegal activity soon after the rapper’s birth. He is estranged from his son since then.

The rapper’s mother, Tonya White, is proud of her son, but she wasn’t his fan and supporter all the time. On the contrary, at first, she considered music as one of his whims and advised him to find a regular job. And the future hip hop star followed her advice – he found a job in the pizza house “Little Caesars” and spent two days there. That was the first and the last regular job in his life. Soon after that he relocated to Atlanta and signed the deal with a record label.
In spring, 2018 Tonya appeared in the short Instagram video opposite her son, and that was the first time the rapper showed his mother to the wide circle of his fans. Tonya boasted, that her son presented her a $300, 000 house. Everything is good between a mother and a son nowadays.
Trippie Redd siblings
Dirty Redd (older brother)
The real name of Michael Lamar’s older brother is not known, but in a narrow circle of friends he was named “Dirty Redd”. The young man was rapping, and it was he, who introduced his younger brother Lamar to the hip hop genre.
When Michael was 14, his brother was killed in a car crash. His death was one of the greatest tragedies in the life of Lamar’s family. Trippie Redd made up his mind to make rap the biggest matter in his life.
Hippie Redd (younger brother)
Hippie Redd is Trippie’s younger brother. His real name is not publicized. The youngest boy in the Lamar family is not an alien in the music industry, too. He has already recorded his debut single. It’s not known, if the young man is going to become a professional musician, or he just sings from time to time for fun. In any case, Hippie has already gathered a fan base, and some of his listeners suppose that he is not worth it (or is even sometimes better) than his talented brother.
