Miley’s Brother Blasts Sister Brandi Over Moldy Rental—No Refund in Sight

Here we go again with the Cyrus family circus. Trace Cyrus, 37-year-old guitarist best known for Metro Station’s 2008 hit “Shake It,” went live on Instagram Stories this week to absolutely demolish his sister Brandi—the other oldest Cyrus sibling—over what he calls a nightmare rental situation that’s derailing his summer album drop.

The story? Trace rented a house from Brandi, only to discover it’s infested with mold, missing drywall, and—get this—he didn’t even have clean drinking water until recently. He’s been sleeping on an air mattress downstairs. But when he asked his own sister for a refund so he could actually move out, she allegedly refused. In his escalating IG videos, he went from “I’ve tried to be really nice” to full warning mode: “I’m not playing nice anymore. Do the fucking right thing or this is about to get real entertaining.”

This is peak Cyrus family chaos. The adopted son of Billy Ray has been publicly at war with multiple family members since Billy Ray and Tish split in 2022. He’s previously had intense spats with his dad and brother Braison over alleged substance abuse. Now it’s his sister. The pattern is unmistakable: messy business deals, public callouts, and nobody backing down. The difference this time? It’s a legitimate rental dispute that could escalate into real legal territory, especially in California where mold liability is a serious landlord responsibility.

Trace says his music project is in limbo. Brandi hasn’t commented. And the rest of the Cyrus clan is probably watching from the sidelines, waiting to see if this blows into another multi-sibling war.

The 16BARS take: Family business should stay family business—but when you rent someone a moldy house and won’t refund them, expect them to take it public. This one’s getting lawyers involved before the month ends.
