JT’s Beats By Dre x Mowalola Campaign Confuses Some, City Girl Responds

by

Besides being one of the best-known female groups making music today, City Girls JT and Yung Miami keep busy with plenty of other side projects. Between studio sessions with her partner in rhyme, the latter spends plenty of time with her two children and her Papi Diddy, as well as hosting her REVOLT podcast, Caresha Please. JT has been in a long-term relationship with Lil Uzi Vert for as long as we can remember and has notably always had a passion for fashion. Earlier in the summer she launched a clothing project that was well-received among fans, and now, the Florida native is expanding her modelling portfolio.

On Monday (September 19), fashion brand Mowalola unveiled photos from their latest campaign shoot – a collaboration with Beats By Dre. In the image below, JT models the famous silver headphones in an unusual way – covering her eye rather than her ears – while sporting a much more colourful hairstyle than usual. They clearly weren’t going for a conventional vibe, but not everyone on social media understood that. “Beats By Dre headphone covering her eye. Ok,” one critic wrote.

“😭😭 One thing about y’all porch ni**as y’all don’t let nobody have s**t,” the “Act Bad” artist replied in a tweet. “Nothing is to y’all standard. You’ll never see a Hugo Comte lens just like your beard will never connect 🤓,” she further disses the OP.

Elsewhere on social media, JT went on Instagram Live to discuss her photo shoot. “This is not for the trolls, this is not for the h*es, this is not for the people trying to defend it,” she began. “It’s for everybody. It’s for my dark skin girls with the nose… This Miss Mug Shot is now the face of a brand, b**ch,” the black-haired beauty hyped herself up.

Lil Baby’s Team Clears The Air Over Booking For D.C. Pride Event Performance

by

Lil Baby and his team recently responded to a bizarre incident involving his “booking” for a performance at a Pride event in late May in the District of Columbia. Moreover, the whole situation seems to have resulted from a scammer pretending to be the Atlanta rapper’s booking agent. Furthermore, they apparently booked him for a May 28 event at a local D.C. nightclub, but his team told The Neighborhood Talk that they not only hadn’t been notified of the booking, but that they never even heard of the event in the first place. Unfortunately, the initial confusion meant that many thought Baby was backtracking on the LBGTQIA+ community.

“He never even knew of this event and none of his team or agents were ever in contact with Pride In the District [the event in question],” his representative stated. “A scammer must have posed as a rep of his. Lil Baby never pulled out of anything with this as he was never booked or contacted in the first place.” In addition to this clarification, the organizers responded to the situation in an Instagram post on Wednesday (April 12).

Lil Baby Never Heard About Booking To Perform At D.C. Pride Event, His Team Says

“We have finally reached someone from [Lil Baby’s] camp and his agency WME were not aware of the PITD booking and have come to the conclusion that we were in fact scammed by someone posing to be a booking agent,” the statement read. “We would appreciate it if the individuals calling Lil Baby homophobic would stop immediately because that is simply a personal opinion and simply put, tasteless. Hopefully, one day we will be able to secure Lil Baby the correct way when his schedule permits. Furthermore, we would like to apologize to Lil Baby, his team, our customers, and anyone else for any inconvenience this may have caused.”

Meanwhile, at least fans in D.C. will get to see the “California Breeze” MC on tour in the summer. Recently, he announced that he’ll hit the road on his “It’s Only Us” tour alongside GloRilla, The Kid LAROI, Rylo Rodriguez, Gloss Up, and Hunxho. With that in mind, hopefully this situation doesn’t blow back too hard on Baby, as it’s really the scammer who’s to blame in the first place. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Lil Baby.
