Trippie Redd Challenges Kanye West's Rage Music Claims

Trippie Redd has strongly disputed Kanye West's claim that he invented rage music with his 2013 track 'Blood on the Leaves,' arguing instead that the genre was pioneered by himself, XXXTentacion, Playboi Carti, and Lil Uzi Vert. Trippie criticized Kanye for trying to take credit for the sound and emphasized that younger artists popularized the style. This public disagreement has sparked broader debate in the music community, with some fans and observers also crediting artists like Kid Cudi and Travis Scott as influential in the emergence of rage music. Industry commentary suggests that ego clashes over the genre's origins may be one reason why Trippie Redd and Kanye West have never collaborated. Despite the controversy, Trippie Redd continues to focus on his career and upcoming projects. The discussion highlights ongoing tensions over artistic influence and recognition within hip-hop.
