On Tuesday (Aug. 8), Trippie Redd voiced regret on Instagram over his personal missteps with singer Skye Morales.
“Just wanted to publicly apologize to Skye. Do not be mad at her. I cheated. She [did] not have the best attitude with me, but she was the most loyal partner I ever had, and I lost her,” he confessed. “I just want [you] guys to be better than me. So if [you] find someone that makes [you] feel special, think before you do [when you’re] mad. I will never forgive myself for this s**t ever.”
Reposted by The Shade Room, the caption continued, “I’m sorry, Skye. I don’t even want you to forgive me. I just want [you] to know I understand, I feel it, I’m a f**king idiot. I promise [you none] of it was worth what I had. What’s done in the dark always comes to light, and yeah, I hate myself. F**k all the people that have been waiting for this to happen. I hate [you], not as much as I hate myself, [though].”
Trippie’s public apology came days after teasing fans with new music. On Monday (Aug. 7), the Ohio-born artist dropped snippets of an upcoming track on the social media platform.
Last Friday (Aug. 4), he dropped “Left 4 Dead.” Notably, Trippie also collaborated with Morales in June for “Took My Breath Away.”
Fans were initially set to receive the rapper’s A Love Letter To You 5 on July 28. However, setbacks led to a rescheduled release date of Aug. 4, which also came and went without the mixtape dropping. Now, Apple Music indicates a new debut day: Friday (Aug. 11). Amid its anticipation, Trippie has remained tight-lipped about the reason for the delay.
On a brighter note, the rapper recently unveiled dates for his “Take Me Away Tour,” which will launch in Miami later this month.
