Karlie Redd

To say the least, Karlie Redd is kind of a big deal. Born in New York City, this mover and shaker has a lot on her plate—she’s a hip-hop artist, model, actress and reality TV star. You may know her from VH1’s Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta, where she reigns among the likes of Mimi Faust, Tammy Rivera and current boyfriend Lyfe Jennings. “I was born in New York, and I studied theater, filmmaking, sound and production,” says Karlie. “I’ve been in the entertainment industry for a while now. I keep pursuing my dreams, in front of the camera and behind it.” With Playboy Plus, Karlie’s checking a long-awaited item off her bucket list, and she’s more than ready to shake things up. “Love & Hip-Hop has given me the platform I have today,” she says. “I’m so happy to be here right now! I’m happy to be a part of the Playboy family—it’s something all the greats have done. I mean, Naomi Campbell, Kim Kardashian—I could keep going!” With her reality series renewed for a fifth season, Karlie’s not taking a break anytime soon. In addition to her hot photoshoot, she’s also inked a deal with Playboy Radio, where she’ll have her own show. “Thanks to Playboy Plus for this opportunity,” says Karlie. “I can’t wait for all my fans to see what comes out of this photoshoot. Great look—I love you, Playboy Plus!” Right back at you, Miss Redd.
