Famous rapper is handcuffed and arrested while trying to board a flight in Miami
Rapper Trippie Redd was arrested and dragged out of Miami International Airport as he tried to board a flight to France.
The Florida-based performer, born Michael Lamar White, was picked up on an active warrant relating to a 2023 incident, according to a police report seen by NBC News.
The 26-year-old was listed in the lineup for Les Ardentes, a festival taking place in Belgium on Saturday.
It is understood he had an active Miami-Dade County warrant related to an invalid driver's license case.
Customs and Border Protection flagged the warrant as he went to board the flight to Europe on Thursday afternoon, sparking his arrest.
Video captured of the arrest shows White being handcuffed as he was surrounded by at least seven officers.
He responded without incident, but a crowd had gathered and were shouting at the officers as White was dragged out of the airport.
He was allegedly released on a $150 bond.
After his release, Redd went back to posting on X as fans desperately await an update on new music.
'Get ready I'm coming different this time on my life all in house work,' he assured them.
The rapper's debut album, Life's a Trip, was released in August 2018 and soared to number four on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
