Yung Miami has appeared to confirm that the days of the City Girls are over.
Relations between Miami and her fellow City Girl JT have been up and down in recent months, but things now seem to have come to a more permanent end.

Speaking to Complex, the rapper addressed the poor commercial reception of the duo’s last album, RAW, and how she and JT drifted apart.
“I think when the City Girls album dropped and it didn’t do too well and we was just like trying to do our press run. You know, the whole rollout of the album was just so bad because we were just in two different spaces,” she said.

“We’re older now and she was doing her own thing on the West Coast, I’m in Miami doing my own thing. And I felt like naturally, when she’s doing her own thing, it just works for her. And when I’m doing my own thing, it works for me.
“But when we get together as a group, it just wasn’t connecting, it just wasn’t working no more. I think we were both at a point where it was just like, we should probably just do our own shit. That was the point for me.”
The duo previously blamed bad management for RAW underperforming after the album sold just 10,000 units in first week, landing at No. 117 on the Billboard 200.
Comparatively, the City Girls’ previous effort, 2020’s City on Lock, reached No. 30 on the chart, powered by the singles “Jobs” and “Pussy Talk” featuring Doja Cat.
“It’s tough times. You get what you put in, in this shit. And I feel like, collectively, we didn’t do what we had to do to promote the album,” JT admitted on The Breakfast Club. “But if you don’t go hard with promoting your shit, and putting it in people’s face, it’s like, of course it’s going to miss people.”
“Right now, stunting ain’t cool, because people broke,” she added. “I feel like we have a bad timing thing. I feel like our timing, and our management, is poor. We’ve got poor management, poor timing — like, it’s really never no strategy. We just out here, like, why the fuck are we at The Breakfast Club a week after our thing dropped?”

Since the release of RAW in October 2023, Yung Miami and JT have both put out solo material while also getting into a brief spat on social media, sparked by allegations of “sneak dissing.”
