Yung Miami is addressing her fractured relationship with former City Girls partner JT through music, with her debut solo album Watch Dis! featuring a deeply personal track titled “Dear JT” that she says her former groupmate heard for the first time when it was released publicly.
The 20-track project marks a significant moment in Caresha Brownlee’s solo career, bringing their once-celebrated partnership into focus while giving the rapper an opportunity to tell her side of the story.
On “Dear JT,” Yung Miami reflects on the history she shares with JT, describing the pain of watching their relationship deteriorate under public scrutiny. She also acknowledges that she sometimes overlooked her former collaborator’s mistakes to protect their friendship.
The song reportedly touches on the embarrassment of falling out with someone she considered a sister and the sadness of losing a partnership that once helped them make their mark on hip-hop.
For Yung Miami, the track was more than another album cut. It was an opportunity to address the situation directly rather than allow outside commentary to define the story of their relationship.
In an interview following the album’s release, the rapper revealed that JT had not heard the song in advance. According to Yung Miami, her former groupmate heard the lyrics at the same time as the general public.
She also said she had not received communication from JT since the project came out.
Despite the distance between them, Yung Miami has not closed the door on repairing their relationship. She said she would answer the phone if JT called, while leaving the possibility of reconciliation to “God’s timing.”
That openness adds another layer to “Dear JT.” Although the song revisits their painful split, Yung Miami’s comments suggest that she remains willing to consider a different future for the pair.
The album itself also went through a significant creative overhaul before reaching listeners. Yung Miami revealed that an earlier version, titled Yams, felt “lazy” and uninspired, prompting her to ask her label to delay the release so she could record more personal material.
She has also spoken about the pressure to establish herself independently after facing rejection from several record labels during the early stages of her solo career.
Watch Dis! features collaborations with Bryson Tiller, Summer Walker and Travis Scott, broadening the project’s lineup beyond its focus on her personal experiences.
Elsewhere, Yung Miami reflected on a missed opportunity involving Drake. She said a remix of her hit “Spend That” never materialized after the Toronto rapper left her on read, although she maintained that she still respects him.
For now, “Dear JT” puts Yung Miami’s feelings about the City Girls fallout into the public record. Whether the song opens a path toward reconciliation remains uncertain, but the rapper has made one thing clear: she is willing to answer if JT reaches out.
