Expect the unexpected from Lil Uzi Vert. The “Endless Fashion” rapper isn’t a fan of binaries in their gender identity or the designer labels they wear.

On April 12, during weekend one of Coachella, Uzi embraced their fluid freedom by voguing on stage (a unique style of dance birthed in the ballroom scene). Users online and Uproxx‘s hip-hop editor Aaron Williams alike applauded the spontaneous choreography. So, yesterday (April 19), Uzi pushed the boundaries even further.

After concluding their performance, Uzi left stage, purse first (hi, Bob The Drag Queen). But it was just any bag, after Uzi gestured to the item, the camera revealed it was indeed a six-figure Kelly Birkin handbag. Then allowed the fully customized ‘Chrome Hearts’ edition of the highly sought after Hermès item.

Similar to last weekend’s response to Uzi’s voguing, users online loved the moment. Many even begged that the now viral clip be turned into a GIF so that could use it on a daily basis. However, other like streamer Adin Ross, Akademiks, and more weren’t seemingly offended.

During Ross’ watch party broadcast, his face read as if he was disgusted by Uzi carrying a designer handbag.

During another stream, Akademiks spewed a few disgusting allegations.

But what does Uzi have to say about the pushback? Well, onstage Uzi knew that some would be off put by their leather crop top portion of their costume, to which they immediately brushed it off. “I look good,” they declared.

What Happened Between JT & GloRilla?

GloRilla and JT have been the topic of a flurry of rumors for over five months. At first, all indications that these rumors held no weight. However, this has since been upturned as the pair have traded some serious insults on Twitter. Beyond that, they’ve issued some even more serious threats to one another. In fact, JT has made it very clear that she doesn’t mind going back to jail, despite GloRilla recently claiming that they aren’t beefing on “Aite.” It’s unclear where they currently stand, but after the release of “Aite,” GloRilla and JT have not seen eye to eye.

The Armon Wiggins Story 

The story about the alleged incident was made known to the public by The Rap-Up podcast’s Armon Wiggins in October 2023. The story went something like this: GloRilla approached JT at the 2023 VMAs with what seemed to be a friendly gesture. However, the interaction didn’t go as planned because JT allegedly rebuffed her. Glo then allegedly got violent and sent a drink, a hand, or a purse flying JT’s way. This incident set tongues wagging, and before long, the rumor mill churned out the story that GloRilla slapped JT.

Many found Armon Wiggins’ dramatic tale a little hard to believe especially since no one else had corroborated these claims. The only third party to ever disclose the story is Wiggins and he divulged this anecdote a month after the VMAs, a highly publicized event. To further clear the air, GloRilla’s album Ehhthang Ehhthang, released on April 5, included the song “Aite.” In the lyrics, GloRilla addressed the situation with JT, stating, “Me and JT ain’t the best of friends, but we ain’t beefin’.

April 5th Wasn’t “Aite”

While the story should have ended there, the story took yet another turn after JT, in multiple posts denied having been hit by GloRilla. On April 5th, she made yet another tweet denying it but also accused Glo of perpetuating a false story through her music. She said that GloRilla was playing into the rumors for publicity when she “…released a song about slapping b*tches…” only to follow it up with “Aite,” and “…now it’s female unity??CORNY!!!!”

In response, GloRilla fiercely defended her song in a series of tweets that have since been deleted. “Hoe shut yo dumb ass up & fix dem uglass wigs I said it ain’t no beef ho you da one with da secret animosity,” she began. Soon after, she followed up another tweet that read, “I mentioned yo name to clear the air, what you wanted me to say I didn’t slap you but with a purse instead?? Scary ass ho.”

The drama between GloRilla and JT escalated further when Glo shared a tweet that read, “Nvm no free promo.” This seemingly innocuous statement set off a chain reaction of heated exchanges. JT, not one to hold back, responded vehemently. She accused GloRilla of being a liar and dismissed the idea that GloRilla had hit her with anything. She tweeted: “OMG you are a liarrrr! B*tch you didn’t hit me with shit FANNED out ass b*tch you approach me sounding like an old beat-up box Chevy ‘WHAT UP GANG’.”

Evidently, GloRilla wasn’t backing down either. She referenced the night of the altercation one more time saying: “Inmate 0983 was taking off her shoes like she was gone get to me. Didn’t know if her a$$ was trying to get active or get sturdy. Lying about getting touched is crazyyy.”

Threats And Promises Made

GloRilla subsequently issued a warning to JT. She threatened to show up uninvited at one of JT’s “Backyard BBQ shows.” The gloves were off, and both artists began making bold threats. Before then, JT accused Glo of causing “all that sh*t with FNF remix too! Came in the game messy & phony ready to switch up on [her] homies too had to jump back on the roof.”

However, in a cryptic move, JT also made another tweet captioned with the word “Pending.” The tweet was a picture showing eight of her mugshots from over the years. The red-circled blank spot hinted at an upcoming addition to her collection. It was a bold statement, suggesting that she wasn’t one to shy away from a physical confrontation, and was ready for whatever turn it would take.

Glo took her up on the offer though. She replied that JT didn’t have what it took to face her since “dem mugshots is from you stealing not fighting.” JT followed that up by making her threats against GloRilla even bolder. Specifically, she wrote that her ninth mugshot would be from me “poking holes in you like the air mattresses you were sleeping on.” 

It’s Probably Not Over Yet

Two days before, JT had also taken to social media to address female rappers who allegedly sneak dissed her. She tweeted, “Bitches be Sneak dissing letting their flunky wanna be ME ass friends hype their head up, but when I come, just know I’m not gonna play with neither one of y’all bitches. Y’all are long overdue.”  Since then, she has had online rifts, even with her best friend, fellow City Girl Yung Miami. She also got into it with Cardi B as well.

Meanwhile, GloRilla made an appearance at the 2024 CMT Music Awards. When asked about the back-and-forth with JT on Twitter, GloRilla chose to respond in a cryptic manner. In fact, her reply was rather philosophical. She simply said, “Everything just always everything. At the end of the day, that day gon’ motherf—in’ end. Everything is everything. That day gotta end.”

Yung Miami Is “Tired” Of The Drama In Her Life Lately

The City Girls may be known for having bold attitudes, but that doesn’t mean they welcome drama into their personal lives. Unfortunately, like most celebrities, Yung Miami and JT find themselves caught up in internet beef, even recently going at one another on Twitter/X. Last week, it seemed as though tensions were brewing between the partners in rhyme as onlookers made comments about Miami not showing enough support to JT. Both women expressed frustration at how the opinions of others were coming between their close bond but were able to make up in the end.

Elsewhere, the Caresha Please host is still fighting off allegations of being a “sex worker” for Diddy, as alleged in Lil Rod’s lawsuit. Rather than running and hiding, Miami dropped off her “CFWM” single earlier this spring and has attempted to focus her energy on promoting that. However, another rising rap diva accused the Florida native of stealing her bars, resulting in even more drama. On Tuesday (April 16), the fashionista used her online presence to vent about how exhausting things have been for her lately.

Yung Miami Hints at Why She Didn’t Come Between GloRilla and JT

“I am a grown a** lady with two kids, I don’t have time to be inserting myself in anything that has nothing to do with me!” she wrote this morning. Some think that Miami’s referring to a spat between GloRilla and JT, but it’s hard to say for sure. “I don’t have a problem with anyone, please leave me alone!!!” the City Girl continued. “Every day I wake up on this app it’s something new, I am tired!”

As Yung Miami said, her main priority right now is promoting her “CFWM” single featuring Skilla Baby, and she doesn’t want any drama to distract from her delivery over the MIA JAY C-produced beat.

Lil Uzi Vert Debuts Their Latest Dance Moves During Coachella 2024 Set And Users Online Are Living For It

Coachella is one of the biggest stages in live music. Each year, the talent booked at the beloved desert festival aims to make a grand statement. For Coachella 2024, Lil Uzi Vert stole the show, and it started with the “Endless Fashion” rapper’s merchandise that delivered a unique spin on Eminem’s stage name.

However, online supporters are more impressed by Uzi’s latest dance moves. While on the main stage, Uzi showed off their voguing skills, a by-product of the ballroom scene. Although Uzi doesn’t identify as a member of the LGBTQ community by sexual orientation, as a non-binary person, Uzi maintains their queer gender identity.

Hip-hop editor Aaron Williams pointed this out in his review of Uzi’s set. “Lil Uzi Vert took to the big stage like a duck to water, complete with a headset mic like mid-’80s Madonna,” he wrote. “They put it to good use with some crowd-pleasing voguing, and while it would have been nice to see a little more world-building from Uzi‘s set, they pushed the boundaries of what future rappers could do with the big stage and proved worthy of the primetime set by sheer crowd draw alone.”

Uzi played up on the public’s confusion about their orientation. “Can I tell y’all a secret,” they said. “I’ve been holding this in for a very long time. I’m pretty sure a lot of you already knew this. What I wanna tell y’all tonight is… I love y’all, and I hope, no matter what, y’all love me the same way I love y’all.”

If Lil Uzi Vert truly intends to retire from music, maybe ballroom icon Leiomy Maldonado could teach Uzi one of her many legendary tricks. View users’ online responses below.

City Girls’ Internal Beef Proved Short-Lived As JT And Yung Miami Publicly Made Up After Their Online Spat

While it may seem like the whole rap community has beef at the moment, at least one pair of feuding friends seems to have laid their discord to rest. JT and Yung Miami, known collectively as City Girls, fell out and made up over the course of several hours yesterday after a heated back-and-forth on Twitter (never X) was reconciled by something as simple as a phone call. How novel!

The tweets have all been deleted, but The Shade Room proved useful for something, capturing screenshots of the tail end of their exchange. After one last tweet from JT popped up on the timeline arguing that she has reason to be mad, Miami expressed confusion, saying “Jatavia we just got off the phone… now we back to the internet???”

Fortunately, the issue was quickly resolved. “This tweet was BEFORE the phone conversation,” JT explained. “Don’t know why it didn’t go through. Maybe because everyone was blowing up my phone!” In response, Miami declared she was “moving on,” telling her partner-in-rhyme, “I love you.” JT’s reply? “I love you more. I actually love you the most!”

Now THAT’s how you handle a falling out.

While Drake and Kendrick probably won’t be doing this anytime soon, it’s nice to see that some folks still know how to act, even if fans online love to feed into the negativity.

Even City Girls Appear To Have Beef With Each Other As JT And Yung Miami Trade Shots Online

Blame it on the election year, the eclipse, or something else, but the hip-hop world has descended into utter chaos in 2024. First, there was Ice Spice and Latto, then there was Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj. Kendrick Lamar threw shots at Drake and J. Cole; J. Cole shot back and apologized a few days later. Today, not only did Meek Mill air out his feelings about Wale but now, City Girls JT and Yung Miami are having it out on the timeline, apparently prompted by perceived shade from Saucy Santana.

Buckle up, this is a bumpy ride.

So, I guess the place to start is JT, who has been on a Nicki Minaj-esque tweet rampage for the past several hours, arguing with infamous Stan acoount Ken Barbie (please understand, all of these people need to get a life, but it’s high school on Stan Twitter 24/7, so of course, this is where it all started). Meanwhile, Yung Miami was dealing with a Stan troll of her own, and when her good friend Santana inserted himself into the conversation is where things really went left.

After telling off the stan in question (and receiving a catty reply in return), Santana tried to dismiss their return fire about Yung Miami being caught in the crossfire of Diddy’s ongoing legal drama. Unfortunately, JT apparently took his snide reference to TV shows about Diddy’s ongoing problems personally. “Your not my power of attorney sit your ass down!!!” she told him. She also took a separate tweet from Yung Miami around the same time the same way, interpreting Miami’s assertion that “A bitch been sneak dissing me for weeks” to be a reference to herself.

That opened the floodgates, and JT lit into her partner-in-rhyme, prompting a back-and-forth that is still ongoing, as of press time.

You can see more of the ongoing feud below. If all this is just rollout for a reunion album, I will be FURIOUS.

JT Not Here For Slander After Fan Says Yung Miami Carried The City Girls

JT has been thrown into the ring online as of late. The City Girls rapper and singer recently traded shots with fellow femcee GloRilla after the Memphis native dropped her debut LP Ehhthang Ehhthang. The X (formerly Twitter) spat began over these Big Glo bars on her song “Aite.” “I just pray one day the bad b****es would come togetherMe and JT ain’t the best of friends but we ain’t beefin’ / Know b****es always hatin’ and that they keep a secret.” Both traded insults, with JT going as far as to say Glo has “NO sex appeal.” Now, JT is vocally throwing hands with a fan after a recent take he had about the City Girls.

He tweeted out how he feels that Yung Miami has been shouldering the load of the duo, as well as JT’s career. “Acting like Yung Miami didn’t carry the city girls and save JT name is CRAZY… y’all weird tho.” JT did not let the slander slide in this case. She protected her work ethic and ensured that it was a team effort to grow their brands.

“B**** KEEP MY NAME OUT YOUR MOUTH! I WROTE MY MUSIC UNTIL THE SUN CAME UP I WENT TO PRISON FROM THE STUDIO WE BOTH DID OUR JOBS AS THE CITY GIRLS! WE BOTH CONTRIBUTED! This how s*** startm you don’t know s*** YOUR WEIRD!” It is quite possible that she felt inclined to stand up for herself, especially after prior events. Fans have also been calling for Yung Miami to stick up for her as well, but she has been MIA. It seems both members just cannot catch a break.

What are your thoughts on this heated interaction between JT and a fan about City Girls? Do you agree with the tweeter’s take, why or why not? Would she have responed to this if she was not already upset after the recent spat with GloRilla? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Did GloRilla Slap JT?

This year in rap, there have already been several monumental lyrical run-ins. First, Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj exchanged jabs on wax. Then Metro Boomin, Future, and Kendrick Lamar aimed at Drake and J. Cole. After a heated conversation online, GloRilla and JT could be next.

Following the release of GloRilla’s mixtape, Ehhthang Ehhthang, a rumor started by media personality Armon Wiggins resurfaced. Wiggins claimed GloRilla had gotten into an altercation with JT. On “Aite,” GloRilla attempted to shut the gossip down, but it backfired.

Continue below for both women’s accounts of what happened.

Did GloRilla Slap JT?

In October 2023, Wiggins took to his YouTube channel, alleging that GloRilla had an unfriendly encounter with JT backstage at the VMA Awards. The now-private video by the Tea-GIF co-host sparked an uproar amongst the rappers’ fans. GloRilla’s line “Slapping rap b*tches and making bail hoe” on “Yeah Glo!” only furthered the flames.

According to JT, the incident never happened. JT disputed the claim on X during an exchange with Female Rap Room.

“I been said she didn’t,” she wrote. “[GloRilla is] the one who went radio silent! [She] played into it and released a song about slapping rap b*tches. Now, it’s female unity? CORNY!”

In a now-deleted post, GloRilla refuted JT’s response. Although she agreed that she did not slap JT, she claimed they were involved in a scuffle. “What you want me to say,” she said. “I didn’t slap you? But I hit you with a purse instead. Scary ass ho.”

Based on this online exchange, GloRilla didn’t slap JT. However, the public opinion court is still unsure what to believe.

GloRilla And JT Went Full Scorched Earth In A Series Of Posts Online Following The Release Of ‘Aite’ Igniting A New Rap Beef

It appears another feud in rap has risen to the surface. After expressing her wish for Cardi B and Nicki Minaj to end their longstanding beef, GloRilla unintentionally found herself in a dust-up.

Yesterday (April 5), the “Wanna Be” rapper’s new mixtape Ehhthang Ehhthang hit streaming platforms. On the track “Aite,” GloRilla attempted to kill off a rumor that she and City Girls’ JT had tension by rapping, “I just pray one day the bad b*tches would come together / ‘Cause Cardi and Nicki on a track would break some f*ckin’ records / Me and JT ain’t the best of friends but we ain’t beefin’ / Know b*tches always hatin’ and that they keep a secret.”

However, JT didn’t take kindly to being mentioned on the record. In a response on X (formerly Twitter), the musician took a moment to deny claims that she and GloRilla were involved in a physical altercation, which is at the root of the beef rumors. “I been said she didn’t,” she wrote. “[GloRilla is] the one who went radio silent! [She] played into it and released a song about slapping rap b*tches. Now, it’s female unity? CORNY!”

After this, both ladies began to exchange heated shots. Although GloRilla’s responses have since been deleted, users online have begun to post screenshots of the removed posts. See the exchange below courtesy of the Female Rap Room.

GloRilla And JT Engage In Fiery Exchange On X Amid Beef Rumors

The hip-hop world is currently filled with beef and drama as JT and GloRilla engage in a heated exchange after JT denied any physical altercation between them. The saga unfolded on social media where fans witnessed the verbal altercation between the two. It all began when a comment under The Shade Room’s repost of JT’s tweet sparked the flame. The commenter mentioned an alleged incident where GloRilla allegedly slapped JT at an award show, to which JT denied. She stated, “SHE NEVER SLAPPED ME! EVER!!!! EVER NEVER like y’all find somebody else to play with.” This denial ignited the drama between the two rappers.

Things escalated when GloRilla addressed their relationship on her latest mixtape, Ehhthang Ehhthang, particularly in the song “Aite.” She conveyed a message of unity among female rappers, mentioning her relationship with JT. However, JT wasn’t buying it. Taking to Twitter, she called out GloRilla for what she perceived as insincere gestures towards female unity. Moreover, she cited GloRilla’s previous silence on the matter and her release of a song seemingly glorifying violence against other female rappers. “I just pray one day the bad bitches would come together/’Cause Cardi and Nicki on a track would break some fuckin’ records/ Me and JT ain’t the best of friends but we ain’t beefin’/ Know bitches always havin’ ana that they keep a secret,” GloRilla said on the track.

GloRilla At JT Go Back And Forth On X

The exchange intensified as JT explained the origin of the rumor. She attributed it to GloRilla’s initial silence and apparent reluctance to shut down the story. A fan asked why Glo hasn’t cleared the air to begin with. “I guess she was waiting on her tape to address & who gone clear up going viral for slapping someone when the whole hood believed it! It was on brand!,” JT further said on X. Not one to back down, GloRilla defended herself. “Hoe shut yo dumb a** up & fix dem ugla** wigs I said it ain’t no beef ho you da one with da secret animosity.” The feud reached a boiling point when GloRilla warned JT about her upcoming appearances and hinted at her criminal record. “Don’t make me pop up at one of them Backyard BBQ shows you doing,” GloRilla said. “You feeling a way about SLAPPING RAP B**CHES AND MAKING BAIL HO. Guess that last run in had you thinking you da only b**ch I touched?”

Furthermore, as the back-and-forth continued, both rappers kept going with insults and threats flying back and forth. The feud seemed far from over as neither party showed signs of backing down. The clash between JT and GloRilla serves as a reminder of the ups and downs within the hip-hop community. While fans eagerly await a resolution, for now, the beef continues, capturing the attention of the rap world and beyond.
