She added that she saw a black car spin out of control and, despite not speeding, she hit a car “that wasn’t even moving.”
The recording artist added that the airbags deployed, and she “just knew her leg was gone.”

“I wasn’t trying to mislead y’all when I said that my leg was amputated,” she said during her recent livestream.
The rapper added that when she tried to exit the vehicle, her leg “was danglin’.”
“So, I don’t think I was misleading you all, cause that’s really what it was,” she said, adding, “It took me so long to get on that stretcher.”
The artist also noted that she asked the paramedics, “Is my leg gone?”

Gloss Up also added that she had never been in a car accident before, and she was traumatized by the crash.
“That sh*t was just traumatizing,” she said. “That sh*t really was f*ckin’ with me.”
The rapper also noted that her birthday photo shoot was scheduled for the following day and that she still hoped to do it.
