The friendship remains complicated, with Yung Miami expressing openness to reconciliation without confirming that she misses JT.

A song dedicated to a lost friendship might sound like an admission of missing someone, but Yung Miami isn't giving such a straightforward answer about JT. The former City Girls rapper has spent much of her solo album rollout discussing the group's breakup, including the personal fallout with her childhood friend. However, when Jason Lee asked whether she still missed JT, Miami was noticeably less forthcoming.

The question came during her appearance on The Jason Lee Show, which premiered Wednesday (Nov. 4) on BET's YouTube channel. Rather than answering yes or no, Miami said she accepts where things stand and is moving on with her life. She maintained that she doesn't harbor hatred toward JT and would be willing to forgive her and have a conversation.

Her response matched an earlier explanation of why she recorded "Dear JT" for her debut solo album, Watch Dis!. "I just put on the song how I feel, and I'm moving forward," she said. She explained that the record wasn't intended to provoke a response from her former groupmate, but to express feelings she had carried through their separation.

Lee also offered his own interpretation of the friendship's deterioration. He suggested that jealousy may have contributed to the split, pointing to Miami's high-profile relationship and personal life. The interviewer framed those circumstances as possible sources of resentment, although Miami did not confirm his theory.

Yung Miami Still Considers JT Family Despite Their Fallout

The conversation also addressed whether JT supported Miami during the controversy surrounding her former relationship with Diddy. Asked if her former groupmate had been there for her, Miami answered no. Still, she wasn't interested in dismissing their years together.

"I look at her like family," she explained, describing JT as someone she considers a sister or cousin. She acknowledged that relatives can have serious disagreements without erasing their connection. That complicated relationship also runs through "Dear JT," released Oct. 23. Miami previously told HOT 97 that she cried while recording it and hadn't played the track for JT before its release.

JT has not publicly responded to "Dear JT," and Miami's latest comments offered no indication that they've resumed communicating. The rapper has said she's willing to talk, but she also appears determined to move forward without making reconciliation a condition of her own progress.
