Rapper Trippie Redd Reveals Hackers Tried to Extort Him for $1M Over 'Mansion Musik'

Rapper Trippie Redd has revealed that hackers attempted to extort him for $1 million over his track ‘Mansion Musik’. The rapper took to social media on Wednesday night, sharing a screenshot of the extortion attempt. In the post, he wrote “Hackers tried to extort me for 1 million dollars over Mansion Musik…” The screenshot shows an email from someone claiming to be a hacker, who says they have access to Trippie Redd’s personal data and are threatening to release it unless he pays them $1 million. The hacker also claims they have access to unreleased music by the rapper. Trippie Redd did not reveal how the hackers got access to his data or what kind of information they had obtained. He did not say whether he paid the ransom or if he was able to take any other measures against the hackers. However, in a follow-up tweet, he thanked fans for their support and said that “everything is under control now”. This is not the first time a musician has been targeted by hackers seeking financial gain. In 2019, several high-profile musicians were victims of cyberattacks in which their unreleased music was stolen and held hostage until a ransom was paid. It appears that this latest attack on Trippie Redd may be part of an ongoing trend of targeting musicians with extortion attempts using stolen data as leverage. Trippie Redd has yet to comment further on the incident but it appears that he is taking steps towards ensuring his security going forward. Fans can only hope that this latest attack serves as a reminder for all artists and musicians about the importance of keeping their data secure at all times.
