JT has opened up about the things she’s afraid may get in the way of her working relationship with her City Girls partner in crime, Yung Miami.
In a new solo interview, JT chatted with Angie Martinez about her past experiences, both in and out of the limelight, and who she hopes to become as a woman and as an artist.

When the topic changed to the future of the City Girls, she said: “Hopefully the future of the City Girls can be the City Girls. And I pray that our egos does not separate it. Or the internet. Or guys. Or like, nothing!”
“Sometimes I be on my shit; sometimes she be on her shit,” she continued. “You know? Like, we’re human; we’re women. We’re not girls, we’re women. Sometimes I wanna be with my man, just like sometimes she wanna be with her man. And I hope that’s not what be the reason or interfere.”
However, JT made it clear that she doesn’t anticipate any animosity to come between her and her rap bestie, but rather worries that their individual interests may end up getting in the way of their pursuits as a duo.
“I do not see beefin’ and breaking up with the City Girls at all,” she declared. “Ever! That’s just stupid. I hope we don’t get too busy.”

The City Girls have always presented a unified front, even during JT’s incarceration just as the duo was being introduced to the world. However, the two women have also cultivated their individual personas and careers, appearing on other artists’ songs solo and landing their own respective business opportunities and collaborations.
While Yung Miami has leaned into her budding career as a podcaster with Caresha Please and as an actor, appearing in the new season of BMFand the Netflix original You People, JT has recently been exploring the fashion and beauty world.
On Thursday (February 9), she announced her first solo brand deal, a partnership with KISS Colors & Care that will see her promoting the company’s latest line of products through editorial and social media content, Vibe reports.
“JT is the epitome of confidence and self-expression,” said Annette DeVita-Goldstein, the company’s VP of Global Marketing. “Because KISS Colors and Care celebrates creativity and style versatility, we could not think of a more iconic brand partner to represent the brand and its philosophy.”

She added: “We’re thrilled to have JT as our celebrity partner – she continues to be a disruptive force in the music, fashion, and beauty industries. She is bold and embraces new hair looks with confidence and authenticity, which aligns perfectly with our new styling collection.”
The partnership kicks off with the launch of the KISS Colors and Care x JT Braid, Loc & Twist line, a new styling collection with products ranging from braid, loc, and twist stylers, Edge Fixer wax sticks, and silk bonnets.
Earlier this month, JT and Yung Miami also announced a new deal with Cota Skin to not only help introduce the luxury skincare line to a wider audience, but also to launch the City Girls Collection.
“City Girls are the perfect partners for us because we understand how difficult it can be as Black consumers to find the skin care solutions we need to combat hyperpigmentation issues,” said Cota Skin CEO Britni Ricard, “so we’ve decided to get involved and create something that specifically addresses these problems.”
