Ex-Quality Control’s Gloss Up Assaults Ex-Manager At Atlanta Nightclub Over Cheating Allegations

Memphis rap star Gloss Up, known for her track “Check,” has reportedly found herself at the center of a controversy that has shifted from professional disputes to personal conflict. A viral video circulating online suggests that tensions between Gloss Up, born Jerrica Russell, and her former manager, Tatiyana Blood, culminated in a physical altercation. Now, Blood is breaking her silence.

During an Instagram Live session on January 4, Blood confirmed the alleged assault, which she claims occurred outside Dreamz Restaurant and Lounge in Duluth, Georgia, on New Year’s Day. Describing the incident, Blood said, “Out of nowhere, I was hit from behind. I didn’t see it coming at all.” She went on to detail her injuries, stating her nose was swollen, her knees scraped, and her hip bruised. Blood expressed her growing unease in the aftermath of the altercation, revealing she now fears for her safety. “I feel intimidated when I go out, not knowing if someone might be watching or following me,” she shared.

Adding to the tension, Blood claimed that Gloss Up attempted to file a restraining order against her without cause. In response, Blood has reportedly filed battery charges against the rapper. Gloss Up appeared to address the accusations indirectly through her Instagram stories, writing cryptically, “Smiling so hard in a mugshot about my livelihood.” The remark has left fans speculating about her perspective on the incident.

Gloss released her latest single, “Robbery,” last November. In May 2024, she released her latest EP, Not Ya Girl: Act 1, on Quality Control Music. The EP features Hunxho, Skilla Baby, and Jacquees. She would tour with Erica Banks to close out 2024 on Banks’s Cocky on Purpose 2 Tour. The rap star originally caught fame in 2022 alongside her best friend and fellow Memphis rap star GloRilla. Unknown what the consequences of the rapper’s assault will be at the moment.
