Speculation about the state of JT and Lil Uzi Vert’s relationship had been circulating for months, with both artists denying any issues publicly. In November 2022, JT took to social media to address the rumours head-on, asserting that she and Uzi were still together and urging fans not to indulge in negativity.
She dismissed claims of infidelity, stating that the supposed problems were nothing more than fictional stories.
However, on Tuesday, 22 November 2023, JT posted a now-deleted tweet that simply read “SINGLE!” This sudden announcement sent shockwaves through their fan base, sparking intense speculation about the events that led to their apparent split.
