Yung Miami talks about her and JT's decision to focus on their solo careers
On Monday, June 3, Complex published an exclusive interview with Yung Miami. According to the newspaper, the conversation with the rapper took place weeks before May 13.
During the conversation, Miami explained that she has been inspired by the haters lately. She also explained that the naysayers prompted her to get in the studio to do some solo beats.
“I really had to dig into my pockets again. People were just driving me crazy… So the fact that I'd been through so much really motivated me to get in the studio and make music,” she said.
Additionally, the rapper revealed what inspired her to release a full solo project, explaining that her and JT's last City Girls project, “RAW,” which was released in October 2023, “didn't do so well” and they were simply in “two different spaces.”
“I think when the album City Girls came out, [RAW] just came out and it wasn't doing so well and we were just trying to do our press rounds. The whole album release was just so bad because we were just in two different rooms,” she said. “We're older now and they [JT] was doing her own thing. She's on the West Coast, I'm in Miami. I'm doing my own thing. And I felt like when she did her own thing, it worked naturally for her. And when I did my own thing, it worked for me. But when we got together as a group, it just didn't fit. It just didn't work anymore.”
Yung Miami explained that she and JT were both at the point where they decided to pursue their own solo projects.
The rapper talks about setting boundaries with fans
Later in the interview, Miami explained that in her opinion the only way to succeed is to “tune out the noise.”
“I feel like we live in an era of trolling, so you have to tune out the noise,” she explained. “… So you just have to keep going and learn to tune out the noise. That's the only way you're going to be successful…”
The 30-year-old explained that she used to be so “open” with her fans and she “enjoyed” showing her natural personality, but now she has decided to set a “boundary” due to “negative reactions.”
“I feel like I used to be so outspoken. I would go on Instagram Live and just talk. I don't do that anymore. I do it, but it's not fun anymore. People are just too involved,” she explained. “It used to be fun. That's how I got into it, going live and being who I am. But now I can say anything and this shit is so serious or so negative or so bad. So that's the line I had to draw. I'm not going live and I'm just going to talk less; less is more. I don't do a lot of things that I used to do.”
Ultimately, Miami explained that she hates that her decision affects fans who truly support her, but being open on social media is just not fun for her “mentally” anymore.
Yung Miami and JT recently made headlines
As The Shade Room previously reported, Yung Miami and JT had fans questioning their friendship status earlier this year, when Miami accused JT of secretly insulting her in her recently released songs for “weeks.”
In response, JT accused Miami of “playing dumb” and added that fellow rapper City Girl enjoys it when social media users take her down. However, Miami disagreed.
Although the couple's argument went viral on the internet, they eventually reconciled in a private conversation and declared their love for each other online, The Shade Room reports.
It wasn't long, however, before the pair were back on the internet talking. Later that month, they were each promoting their solo releases, not their joint ones, according to The Shade Room. While speaking to Complex, Miami addressed the viral feud between her and JT before revealing where their relationship will stand forever.
“I think it's sisterhood. This is my girlfriend, obviously, but to me, this is more like family,” Miami explained. “I've known JT my whole damn life, so this isn't our first fight. And it probably won't be our last. This time, it went online. There were a lot of emotions. People were pulling us left and right, and it was just shit that we talked about behind closed doors, like, 'Girl, I love you, and let's move on.' It never gets deep enough to move on.”
