If you’re familiar with late American musician Ike Turner, you’re probably aware of his numerous marriages.
He also has six children from his various partnerships. And today we’ll talk about Linda Trippeter, one of his six children. Linda, on the other hand, is said to be Ike’s oldest daughter from one of his early relationships.
Linda Trippeter, on the other hand, is not Ike’s biological kid, according to Ike. So, what really is the truth? How did she get along with Ike? We’ll expose some previously unknown details about her personal and professional life in this piece.
Let’s get this party started.
Linda Trippeter- Early Life
Linda Trippeter was born in the United States in 1949 as Linda Turner Bullock. Her mother, Velma Davis, gave birth to her, although there is some controversy around her father.
Ike has denied being Linda’s biological father in his memoirs Takin’ Back My Name, despite her mother’s allegations. He described how he met Velma (referred to her as Thelma) and that she was already pregnant in the book. He was still an adolescent at the time. As he puts it,
I met Thelma Dishman, who I felt was a gorgeous girl at the time. I didn’t know Thelma was pregnant, but I liked her. Despite the fact that Ike denied Linda as his biological kid, he supposedly adopted her and raised her as his own. As father and daughter, they had a wonderful bond.
Siblings of Linda Trippeter
Mia Turner, Ike Turner Jr, Ronnie Turner, Michael Turner, and Twant to Turner Melby are the five siblings she has. They are all her half-siblings, having been born through her late father’s many marriages. Her half-brothers and sisters are all wealthy people.
Needless to say, she got along swimmingly with each of them. She’s even made a few public appearances with them previously.
Her father was a singer and actor. Linda’s father, on the other hand, was a well-known American musician, songwriter, and record producer. His first single, Heartbroken and Worried, was released in 1951, marking his debut as a performer. Since then, he’s released a slew of hit singles and albums.
You’re Drivin’ Me Insane, Love Is Scarce, Cuban Getaway, and I’m Tore Up are just a few of his hit tracks. In 1962, Ike released his debut studio album, Dance With Ike & Tina Turner’s Kings of Rhythm, which was a moderate hit.
His first studio album’s success spawned a slew of follow-ups, including Rocks The Blues, Strange Fruit, Bad Dreams, and Here and Now, among others.
