After months of tension, GloRilla’s sister says earning her own money changed how she views the family dispute.

Money has given Victoria “BroRilla” Woods a different view of the family feud she helped drag into the public eye earlier this year. After months of accusing GloRilla of not doing enough financially for their relatives, Woods says experiencing her own success made some of her sister’s decisions easier to understand. “I’m publicly apologizing to my sister,” she said during a recent livestream.

Woods explained that her perspective changed after she started making more money and noticed how quickly helping people could become an expectation. She recalled making around $40,000 in one week, then finding herself questioning whether generosity would eventually become something others felt entitled to receive.

“So I’m like, damn, is this why she said no in the first place because she know how it would have got?” Woods said. In another version of the apology, she put it even more directly. “Glo, I apologize because I’m in your shoes now,” she said, before joking that the comparison only went so far because her sister is a millionaire while she remains a “thousandaire.” Yet, she hasn't completely abandoned her original complaints. Woods said she still views the dispute as “50/50,” suggesting she believes GloRilla shares some responsibility for how their relationship deteriorated.

BroRilla’s Apology Is A Major Turn From Where The Feud Started

The sisters’ issues spilled online in February after Woods accused GloRilla of distancing herself from relatives as her career took off. She claimed the Memphis rapper wasn't adequately supporting family members and publicly argued that GloRilla had an obligation to help. During an interview with TMZ, Woods even suggested $2,500 for each relative could help repair the situation.

GloRilla eventually responded herself, rejecting the idea that she had abandoned her family and warning her sister to stop bringing private issues online. TheGrio reported the rapper told Woods to “keep my family out of it” and referenced painful history between them that she said she had deliberately kept private. Further, the feud remained ugly well into the summer. In July, Woods told TMZ she wanted to repair her relationship with their mother but wasn't close to reconciling with GloRilla. At the time, she said she would call police if her sister approached her.

Her tone has softened considerably since then. Woods has also turned the attention the dispute generated into her own audience, releasing music under the BroRilla name and recently earning positive reactions for “Memphian.” That budding success appears to have given her a taste of the same pressure she once criticized from the outside.

Meanwhile, GloRilla has not publicly responded to her sister’s apology. Woods, however, has already acknowledged the part money played in changing her perspective, making this the closest the sisters have publicly come to reconciliation since their family dispute exploded online.
