Days ahead of UFC 296, Ian Garry's personal life drama has now reached mainstream pop culture.
On Dec. 7, American rapper Tyler Cassidy released a new video on his YouTube channel 'Tyler Cassidy Music' titled 'Tyler Cassidy - Ian Garry.' In the video, Cassidy raps about Garry's relationship with his wife, Layla Machado Garry, a topic that has been trending across social media platforms.
The video has since gone viral, with Cassidy having nearly 400 thousand subscribers to his YouTube channel and over 60 thousand followers on X/Twitter.

In reaction to the music video, fans were simultaneously impressed with Cassidy's songwriting and rapping skills while also finding the song humorous at Garry's expense. Sean Strickland, who has been very vocal about Garry's situation, collaborated with Cassidy to post the video on Instagram.
Fans not only enjoyed the release but encouraged Vicente Luque — Garry's UFC 296 opponent — to use Cassidy's song for his walkout.
Many others agreed with the opinion, while others continued the ongoing social media joke claiming that Garry fears the UFC 296 press conference.
Fans who reacted positively to the video wrote:
"That was a violation"
"That was way better than I expected. Some killer lines in there"
"Literally no reason this song should slap this hard, wtf"
"That hook is very catchy. Gonna be stuck in my head lol"
"This is actually pretty damn impressive from a songwriting perspective"
Garry, who has traditionally been very vocal on social media, has not responded to most of the slander since Strickland began pushing the topic.
