Newly surfaced bodycam footage shows Trippie Redd’s tense 2023 traffic stop for driving without a license, resulting in a citation.
Recently unearthed bodycam footage has shed light on a tense 2023 encounter between rapper Trippie Redd and law enforcement, where the artist was pulled over for driving without a valid license. The incident, which also involved his older brother, occurred during a routine traffic stop that quickly escalated due to the involvement of Trippie’s security detail and the discovery of a hotboxed vehicle.
The situation unfolded when police officers in Florida stopped Trippie Redd’s vehicle for having tinted windows. What began as a routine check quickly intensified as officers realized that Trippie Redd did not possess a driver’s license. The rapper and his brother were accompanied by a security team, which appeared to heighten the officers’ suspicions. The situati on became more fraught when the officers detected the strong smell of marijuana emanating from the car, which was reportedly hotboxed.
The officer in charge did not hold back her frustration during the exchange. Clearly annoyed by the circumstances, she voiced her displeasure with the situation, emphasizing that she didn’t care about Trippie’s celebrity status. “They just heightened us from two to 10. I don’t give a sh*t if that’s your security guard or not,” she remarked sternly. “I don’t care if you’re Drake. They cannot come to a traffic stop… So you have no license and you’re driving, that’s one citation. You’re probably gonna be arrested, but that’s my discretion.”
Despite the officer’s clear irritation, Trippie Redd remained composed throughout the interaction. In the end, he was issued a citation for driving without a license but avoided arrest. His brother Hunter, however, wasn’t as fortunate. The police discovered marijuana near the passenger seat, leading to Hunter’s arrest and subsequent transportation to a local jail.
This newly surfaced footage of Trippie Redd’s 2023 traffic stop comes on the heels of other high-profile leaks involving celebrities. In recent weeks, bodycam footage has emerged showing Playboi Carti and Ken Carson being pulled over for speeding, as well as DaniLeigh’s arrest for a DUI hit-and-run incident. These incidents highlight the increasing trend of bodycam footage of celebrity encounters with the law being made public, often leading to widespread discussion and scrutiny.
Beyond this legal hiccup, Trippie Redd has also been in the news for more positive reasons. The rapper recently rekindled his romance with fellow artist Coi Leray. The two, who famously split five years ago, are back together, much to the delight of their fans. Their renewed relationship was highlighted by a touching moment shared onstage, signaling that their reunion is off to a promising start.
As Trippie Redd continues to navigate both personal and public challenges, the footage from his 2023 traffic stop serves as a reminder of the pressures and scrutiny that come with fame. Whether dealing with the law or rekindling old flames, the rapper remains a focal point in the ever-evolving world of celebrity culture.
