Family drama just got a whole lot more toxic—literally. Trace Cyrus is calling out his sister Brandi over what he’s claiming is a rental property disaster, complete with mold damage, water issues, and zero refund in sight.
The musician took to social media to air his grievances, posting images of missing ceiling sections and what he says is extensive mold throughout the house. According to Trace, this isn’t just a cosmetic problem—he’s been dealing with water access issues on top of it all. He’s adamant that Brandi won’t return his rent money, and he’s apparently over trying to handle it privately. He even called her out directly on social media, suggesting she reach out if she wants to discuss his public complaints.
What makes this particularly frustrating for Trace is the timing. He claims the housing situation has forced him to relocate, which means his new music is getting delayed. When your living situation falls apart, your creative timeline suffers—that’s a real consequence beyond just the inconvenience of moving again.
This is far from Trace’s first family fallout. He’s previously had intense online squabbles with his dad Billy Ray Cyrus and his brother Braison, even making allegations about drug and alcohol abuse and threatening legal action. The pattern here suggests a deeper family dynamic that’s become increasingly public and acrimonious.
Whether this is a simple landlord-tenant dispute gone sideways or something more complicated between siblings, the fact that it’s being litigated on social media says everything about where the relationship stands. Brandi hasn’t responded to requests for comment yet, so her side of the story remains untold. But for now, Trace is making it clear: family connection or not, he’s done being taken advantage of.
The real question is whether any of this gets resolved off the internet, or if we’re watching another Cyrus family conflict play out in real time.
