Trace Cyrus has launched a blistering attack on his father Billy Ray Cyrus through a series of Instagram posts on Tuesday, branding the country music star “washed-up,” “pathetic” and “evil.”<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old musician took to social media to denounce his father for failing to attend his grandmother’s funeral in 2020.<\/p>\n

“This man is so hungry for fame it’s pathetic,” Trace wrote in his scathing online tirade.<\/p>\n

The posts revealed deep family tensions, with Trace claiming Billy Ray chose to attend a fashion show in Italy rather than pay his respects to Loretta Finley, who was the mother of Billy Ray’s ex-wife Tish Cyrus.<\/p>\n

According to Trace’s allegations, Billy Ray refused to attend the funeral despite his daughter arranging a private jet worth $60,000 (approximately \u00a348,000) to transport him from his location to Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

“Even after his daughter got him a 60k private jet like he demanded then he still didn’t come even after the plane was paid for,” Trace claimed in his post.<\/p>\n

The funeral took place roughly two years before Tish and Billy Ray’s divorce in April 2022.<\/p>\n

Trace expressed particular anger that his father “really flew to Italy for a fashion show but wouldn’t come to LA for Mammie’s funeral while he was still married to my mom.”<\/p>\n

Trace’s criticism escalated throughout his posts, with the musician declaring: “You’re the lamest man to ever walk planet earth. Honestly embarrassed to ever have considered you my idol.”<\/p>\n

He claimed his father’s downfall had motivated him to enter “beast mode,” adding: “I refuse to be a washed up, delusional, evil person when I’m old like you.”<\/p>\n

In his Instagram Stories, Trace mocked Billy Ray’s appearance, writing: “Also why does he think that homeless hairstyle looks good? So weird.”<\/p>\n

When a commenter suggested the posts seemed like a cry for attention from his father, Trace responded: “No I’m past the point of even caring if I ever speak to him again. I’ve surpassed him in every metric as a man on this planet.”<\/p>\n
