Don't Trip is a single by Miami-based rapper Trina, the first from her album Glamorest Life, distributed by Slip-N-Slide Records. It features Lil Wayne, was produced by Mannie Fresh, and reached #74 on the US R&B Hip-hop songs chart.
[edit] Following Rumors
It is notable because after that single, rumors started flying around about what was going between her and Lil Wayne. There were rumors that the two were dating or even engaged. On a radio interview, Trina said that the relationship was more of a "brother-sister" relationship. Later, on BET's Rap Basement, Lil Wayne said he knew nothing of the rumors.
Both would later retract that statement. In an issue of Sister 2 Sister magazine, Trina would later say that she made a huge understatement at that radio interview, and that "He's one of the sweetest people I've ever met...I have so much love for him!" However, she just burst out in huge giggles when further questions were asked, and she said "We're both happy. That's all the world needs to know." In the March 2006 issue of VIBE magazine, Lil Wayne said that this relationship was better than his past ones because "She's (also) a rapper, so we understand each other." When asked about the ring, he smiled and said, "She just likes rings. I saw a nice one, so I got it for her."
[edit] Other notabilities
- That was the last production that Mannie Fresh did involving any current Cash Money Records artist before he announced his departure. It is also one of the few he did where he does not contribute any vocals whatsoever (others include Lil' Wayne's Tha Block is Hot)
- Cash Money had entered a bidding battle for the Slip-N-Slide label, but lost out to Def Jam's bid.
- Smitty used a sample of that song in his track Lil' Haiti (produced by The Runners) from his album Life of a Troubled Child. The sample used as the chorus is one of Lil' Wayne's lines: "I'm up in Lil' Haiti, I'm blowin' on Jamaica"
