As sharp as a spotlight, hip-hop’s most popular crew just fell apart like a shattered glass. The City Girls, the queens of twerk anthems and loyalty, going viral together, are now falling apart in the most spectacular way with their leaked texts, nasty call-outs, and side-eye posts. The epicenter of that explosion? JT, the Philly firecracker, and exasperatedly clapping out to the world her ride-or-die, Saucy Santana. The hints of betrayal became the actuality, and the fans are literally glued to the screens waiting for an answer. Was this the last time we would see these girls?
She just tore him off the face of the earthsinging “Santana is a fake friend” and “clout vampire”. She also accused him of catching the mic at festivals and of using her style to get more likes. Ouch! The words hit as hard as they could, yet surprisingly, they were truthful and rather heartwarming, reminding us that even the stars have their own kind of bleeding.
Santana, on the other hand, could not stand idly by and accept the blame. He, in a rather impromptu, fiery, and slightly erratic Twitter Space, angrily retaliated and talked about the long-gone days when he used to praise JT’s hustle in their text messages. Then he said, “Bitch, you’ve been made fun of when you dance to my songs and yet you throw shade!”
He also talked about the incidents of mic grabs at Rolling Loud, birthday opps, and even brought Nicki Minaj into the picture to claim that she DM’d Yung Miami asking for help against Cardi back in ’22. “Why are you people letting JT fight alone?” he asked in frustration, creating the image of snakes in the industry. The fans were like ‘Wow,’ this isn’t just the story of beef; rather, it is the dissection of the breakdown of their bonds.
Following that, the gut punch: Yung Miami, JT’s duo partner, a mirror selfie with the caption “Real ones don’t switch up” and a cryptic post. JT’s stans yelled foul, interpreting it as a spike at her “drama queen” vibes.”
Is Caresha calling a side? The silence between the Girls is more than any song could express. The memes and manifestos can be found on almost every social media account: “Protect JT at all costs!” is in conflict with “Santana spilled the real tea!”
This blow to the ego and pride of the girls inside of us is something very basic and primal. The lost sisterhood in the fight for the top. With Grammys coming and new music to be released, the urgency of it all could be felt. Is there going to be a revenge song by JT? Will she apologize or insult?
