City Girls’ JT Admits Being Famous Makes Her ‘Comfortable & Lazy’ At Times & Yung Miami Recalls Holding Her Down During Incarceration
While interviewing with Megan Thee Stallion for ‘Interview Magazine,’ the City Girls‘ JT and Yung Miami dive deep into the new-age female rap game, their come-up, JT’s felony fraud incarceration and how becoming famous made her “comfortable and lazy” at times.
Explaining how her poverty-stricken childhood fueled her for success, JT says, “I’m so comfortable and content with myself that I don’t even think I’m struggling. Back then, I was really struggling. And when you’re struggling, I feel like you make the best music. When you ain’t got nothing to lose, you make the best music. I really come from nothing, so anything is a blessing to me. I got lazy and comfortable at one point, but I’m getting back into that mode where I feel like we’ve got something to prove. So right now, that’s what I’m on. It’s comeback season.”

Meanwhile, when speaking on JT’s nearly 2-year prison stint, Yung Miami explains, “We already knew she was going to jail, so we had a plan. I was like, ‘Okay, she’s going to go to jail and I’m going to do whatever I got to do to keep it going.’ I feel like I did a good job. Everything was new for me, too, so it’s literally like I was in the middle of the ocean and I had to motherf***ing swim. We had that song with Drake [“In My Feelings”] and I felt like I did good. I thought I held the group down. It was hard. Sometimes I’d be sad, like, ‘Damn, I don’t want to do this. I can’t do this.’ And then I had other moments where I was like, ‘Man, I’ve got to do this because if I don’t do it, what’s going to happen? Is City Girls just going to go away?’ So I just attacked it.”
