With social media buzzing over the conflicting posts, her team issued an official clarification.
“Gloss Up was recently involved in a serious car accident and sustained a severe injury to her foot,” the statement said. “While the medical team is doing everything they can to save it, she is currently heavily medicated for pain and mistakenly thought it had already been amputated. To clarify: her foot has NOT been amputated. She is actively in surgery, and doctors are actively working to save and treat it.”
The team added: “She needs all the support she can get right now. Please keep her in your thoughts and send your strongest prayers for her recovery and her medical team.”
Heavy pain medication caused the mix-up, her camp explained. The drugs left the rapper convinced doctors had already removed the foot before her operation began.
