JT of City Girls Stays Close During Scare
Uzi’s longtime girlfriend, JT, formerly of the rap duo City Girls, remained by his side throughout the ordeal. The “Just Wanna Rock” rapper was said to be conscious during transport but was admitted to the emergency room, where he stayed overnight. As of Tuesday morning, he was still under medical care, according to the report.
At this time, the exact reason for Lil Uzi Vert’s hospitalization has not been publicly disclosed. Further updates regarding his condition are awaited as fans express concern over the sudden incident.
JT, whose real name is Jatavia Shakara Johnson, has been romantically involved with Uzi since 2019, although the couple kept their relationship private until making it public in 2021. Despite facing ongoing break-up rumors, the couple has maintained a strong bond.
During a 2020 interview on The Breakfast Club, JT addressed split speculations humorously, saying, “I did not….I didn’t break up with nobody.” In 2023, on Angie Martinez’s IRL Podcast, she praised Uzi, stating, “He’s a great man… so inspiring. No matter what he’s going through, he’s going to work.”
