Personal Life

Redd has experienced numerous controversies involving other artists. His denunciation of artist 6ix9ine occurred on Twitter after a post surfaced, alleging the rapper’s pedophilia. Consequently, in November 2017, Redd faced an attack from 6ix9ine’s team within a New York hotel. Over the following years, a battle of insults unfolded between the two on social media.

Additionally, there were conflicts with rival rapper XXXTentacion; however, they managed to resolve their differences and collaborated on various tracks multiple times. Following XXXTentacion’s passing in June 2018, Redd chose to dye his hair as a tribute to the artist.

Legal issues have also followed him, as an arrest in Georgia occurred after an altercation with rapper FDM Grady in May 2018. Grady claimed that Redd had insulted his girlfriend, prompting Grady to briefly brandish a firearm before engaging in a fistfight. Following this, Redd, along with three other individuals, attacked Grady. Charges included public fighting, criminal trespass, and simple battery. A few months later, he faced another arrest for allegedly pistol-whipping a woman.
