Gloss Up Drops 'Cycle' Amid Major Family Drama

Dropped on January 5, 2025, the track immediately set social media on fire, with fans reading between the lines to see if Gloss Up is calling out her own sister or her ex-manager. And considering the recent family drama (and that arrest), the timing couldn’t be juicier.

In case you missed it: the Memphis rapper was arrested on January 4 after an altercation with her former manager, Tatiyana Blood. Word is, Tatiyana claimed Gloss lashed out because she got dropped from Quality Control Music — allegedly over finances. Then Gloss Up’s sister went on social media and actually celebrated her arrest, saying, “We gone get back close when she gets back broke.”

But if you think the drama is slowing Gloss Up down, think again. Fans are flooding her YouTube comments and socials with support. One person wrote, “Let’s get my girl to 1 million since her sister hating,” and that pretty much sums up the vibe: people are riding hard for Gloss Up right now.

Fans sure think so. Check out these lyrics that have everyone talking:

• “Way out of line, you miss your spot.” Some say it’s a clapback at her sister for mocking her arrest online.
• “Who you let put that battery in your back, now you gotta stand on that.” Sounds like a betrayal anthem—maybe someone got in her sister’s ear?
• “Mama told me a long time ago, I ain’t got no friends.” A piece of mama’s wisdom that’s hitting extra hard, especially after the recent fallout.

So where does Gloss Up go from here? If this track is any indication, she’s keeping her head up. Whether or not it’s truly about her sister, Cycle is turning heads and heating up playlists everywhere.
