Social media users had some thangs to say about JT after she failed to publicly celebrate her man, Lil Uzi Vert, on National Boyfriend Day. Keep reading to see how she responded to the critics!
JT Shares Her Thoughts On Keeping Her Relationship Private
For context, National Boyfriend Day took place on Oct. 3. While many celebrated the heartfelt holiday, JT missed the opportunity to show love to her boyfriend.
In response, the internet didn’t miss the moment to call out the ‘Okay’ rapper. Some fans questioned her silence, given that the couple has been dating on and off since 2019.
HotNewHipHop reports that JT ultimately hopped on Instagram Live to clarify the situation. In a clip shared by Live Bitez, the artist explained that she wasn’t in the best place on National Boyfriend’s Day and honestly forgot about it.
“I was PMS’ing,” JT said. “I was mean… like so b****y to my man.”
However, to show her love and appreciation for Uzi, the Miami femcee revealed that she actually had a post saved for him.
As the video continues, the former ‘City Girls’ rapper explains that even though she was prepared, she held back. Ultimately, she wants to share her personal life with her fans but feels she’s “just not that girl.”
“And I want to become that girl. I want to break out of it. And I want to start being more posty and letting y’all know, I got a man… I love my man and I love my life and my home and I love my family. And I love my career and everything about myself,” the ‘No Bars’ hitmaker said.
Despite her happiness, JT said she avoids sharing personal details because people often want to see sadness when someone is happy. So, she fears experiencing that.
More Details About JT & Uzi’s Love Story
As mentioned, JT and Lil Uzi have been linked since 2019, but they officially went public with their relationship in 2021. While on the ‘Respectfully Justin’ show that year, JT spilled details about her first date with Lil Uzi Vert.
She recalled that Uzi was upfront about wanting to be with her from the start. When they first met, he allegedly handed her a bag of money and told her to take as much as she could. According to Hot97, she later confirmed that her Chanel purse could only hold $30,000.
