Things got a little heated between JT and Lil Uzi Vert at the 2023 BET Awards. Multiple circulating videos show the City Girls rapper launching her cell phone at Uzi after cursing him out.
A now-viral Twitter thread claims Ice Spice is involved. However, “sources inside JT’s camp,” told TMZ on Monday (June 26) there’s no “beef” between the female rappers. In fact, they blame JT’s outburst on being frustrated with losing her seat after the audience moved around.
JT Warns Lil Uzi Vert Not To “Try” Her At BET Awards
Initial clips about the domestic incident show JT standing a few feet from a seated Uzi. A small crowd separated them.

While one person held JT back by the waist and arms, she yelled at Lil Uzi Vert:
“F**king groupie,” JT said and threw her phone at him. “B***h, f**k wrong with you. Don’t ever try me like that. B***h a** n***a.”
Footage also shows her demanding that he pick up her phone and return it. Shortly after, the upset rapper storms down the aisle as Lil Uzi Vert chases behind her. Additional videos seemingly show a second unidentified object hitting Uzi, but who threw the object remains unclear.
Following their incident, which partially occurred during the Takeoff tribute performed by Quavo and Offset, a video shows the couple leaving the venue. Surrounded by security, Uzi walked slightly ahead of JT, but he looked back in her direction a few times.
Twitter User Claims JT & Lil Uzi Vert Argued About Ice Spice Shoutout
After the BET Awards wrapped, a woman by the Twitter handle @chantelbabbyy claimed that Ice Spice inadvertently influenced the argument between JT and Uzi.
The woman claimed she sat next to the couple, explaining how things got popping after Lil Uzi Vert ended his performance. While on stage, the rapper rattled off a bar about Ice Spice from a new song.
“…Wig came off twice/ she got a lil afro/ she looks like Ice Spice,” Uzi rapped.

@chantelbabbyy claims that after Uzi wrapped his performance, he sat next to Ice Spice and conversed with her for a few minutes while JT sat across the aisle in the same front row. During that time, it appears Uzi and Spice took a selfie together.
But thennnn when he got done performing everyone did musical chairs and JT ended up sitting on the right side of the front row and Uzi sat next to Ice Spice on the left where I was. So i peeped them conversing for a while. It didn’t look like nothing too crazy right….

Following JT’s outburst–and amid the viral talks about it–Ice Spice uploaded the photo to Instagram in a round-up of pictures of herself.
After the phone launch, the alleged witness, @chantelbabbyy, says Lil Uzi Vert was “pleading” with JT while she “was acting like a brat.”
In the Twitter thread, @chantelbabbyy also claimed, “Ice Spice briefly explained something looking unbothered” –a moment seemingly captured on camera. Additionally, the witness says she overheard Lil Uzi also cursing at JT during the argument that lasted at least 20 minutes.
Then, she claims, JT started giving Lil Uzi the cold shoulder.
I overheard him cussing at her too so they both be just saying outlandish shit it seems like but after about 20 min. She just starts ignoring his pleading and gets up and acts like she paying attention to the performances 🤣 he tried to touch her and she almost clocked him!

As mentioned, neither JT nor Uzi has directly addressed the circulating incident videos. Minus the selfie post, Ice Spice has also remained hush-hush regarding claims of her involvement.
