Tatiyana Blood said she was hit by Gloss Up without any warning

During the live Instagram session, Tatiyana Blood said she handled affairs with Gloss Up professionally. The physical assault on her happened after she left the club with her friends. She said she was talking to the club’s owner about business outside. Blood added:

“We were standing there, talking. Out of nowhere, I get hit from behind. I didn’t see it coming or nothing. The girl came in a sports br* and some workout tights and tennis shoes and a bunny.”

She continued:

“Yes, I have injuries. Yes, my nose was swollen. Yes, my knees were scraped. Yes, my hip was bruised that I had surgery on before when I went to Jackson state and ran track.”

While discussing the physical attack, Blood mentioned that Gloss Up did not have car insurance and did not register the car she used. In addition to that, it had a fake Illinois tag on it.

She stated that Gloss Up had gone to the police weeks earlier to file a restraining order against her. However, she emphasized that for such an order to be issued, she would need to have taken some action against the person, which she denied. She clarified that she had not contacted, stalked, or sought out the individual and insisted she had done nothing to them.

Tatiyana Blood also said she went to law school and also had a degree in Political Science. She mentioned that the people she met through the rapper were still on good terms with her.

Besides that, Blood said the rapper had more things to take care of rather than coming after her when she was not even worried about her. Blood pressed charges against the rapper.
