Kanye West Teases Trippie Redd Collab in Instagram Story After Rage Music Feud
Kanye West has sparked rumors of a surprise track with Trippie Redd. He reposted a short clip from Redd’s forthcoming album NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) to his Instagram story. The gesture raised eyebrows since the pair traded heated words earlier this year over who first brought rage music to the mainstream. The abrupt repost has left followers wondering whether tensions have eased or if this is a calculated tease.
The snippet, first shared by fan account @reddfiles, features production by Hitmaka. Hitmaka reshared West’s story and tagged him with the caption “NDA yea,” sparking chatter that Kanye might appear on the record. Fans noted that the producer’s tag suggested an official link between the two artists.
Trippie Redd fed the buzz with a brief comment: “Wonder who’s on the album.” The exchange captured attention in light of their earlier clash. The sudden shift in tone caught fans off guard.
One fan summed it up: “Same dude who was dissing him months ago for rage music?” Another pointed out, “Wasn’t he just sharing carti tweet of him telling ye s###.” Shortly after, dozens of fans weighed in online with speculation.
Earlier this year, West stunned listeners when he claimed to have invented the rage sound, a Hip-Hop offshoot known for raw intensity and distorted beats. He said, “I invented rage, bro,” referencing tracks like “Blood On The Leaves” and “N****s in Paris.” Then he noted, “Yeezus is that energy… ‘Ns in Paris’ is the first time n##### was moshing. Look at Black people moshing. That was just some White boy s###.” The debate over who laid the groundwork for rage has been ongoing.
Trippie Redd fired back: “The inventors of the rage sound is me, X[XXXTENTACION], [Playboi] Carti and [Lil] Uzi [Vert]. We paved the way; we popularized it. I’m not gon’ let you old-ass n##### say you invented something that you ain’t invent. N##### need to take they pills man.”
He added, “You n##### be psychotic, out of they f###### mind. Your old ass ain’t invent s###. That’s exactly why I ain’t pull up on his old ass because he always just wanna put a n#### beneath him and s###. You ain’t really for the Black people. You ain’t really for your people.”
