Trace Cyrus, son of country music star Billy Ray Cyrus, has publicly criticized his father, highlighting ongoing family tensions. In a June 10, 2025, Instagram post, Trace accused Billy Ray of prioritizing fame over family.
Trace stated, "This man is so hungry for fame it’s pathetic." He also alleged that Billy Ray attended a fashion show in Italy instead of his maternal grandmother's funeral in Los Angeles, even after his daughter arranged a private jet for him. "You’re the lamest man to ever walk planet earth," Trace added.
The Cyrus family has faced public disputes since Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus divorced in 2022. Following the divorce, Billy Ray married singer Firerose, but the marriage was annulled in May 2024. As of July 9, 2025, the Cyrus family continues to navigate these personal issues publicly.
