JT is mourning alongside her fellow City Girl Yung Miami after the latter's ex-boyfriend was killed in a fatal shooting recently. Jai Wiggins, the father of Miami's eldest child, a son also named Jai, passed away over the weekend after getting shot, although few details are known about the incident at the moment. Shortly after the news broke, JT took to Twitter to vent about how upset she was for her best friend.

On Tuesday (June 16th), she went on to pay proper tribute to Jai, whom she appeared to be quite close to due to her longtime friendship with Miami.

"Damn this hurts writing this, I’ve been trying to out think this situation but it’s so heavy on my heart!" JT wrote on a photo of Jai. "You was such a good person! We really grew up together never in a million years I saw this for you! Since day 1 with ANY situation you stepped up! Heart of gold & a smile that would light up any room since I’ve known you I only seen you act crazy about one person soooooooo many memories! So many! Bro I can go on & on but these tears got my fingers slipping. Love you so much & I promise to be there for caresha & baby jai. Forever!!!! I can hear you saying 'day 1 don’t switch up you know we family!' Yes jai we are, family forever."

She followed this post on Wednesday (June 17th) with a vow to stay by her best friend's side while she gets through this pain. "Love you, I got your back!" she wrote on a Boomerang of her and Miami goofing around. "Take your time... we gone shine again, we gone shine forever! Pressure makes diamonds, you know how it is on our end we can never pick our battles but we get there! My soulja, this city girl shit deeper then rap. MY @yungmiami305." 

Miami also paid tribute to her ex on Instagram. "Babies 1st words are DADA & that’s what you are a FATHER to Jai," she wrote on some photos of Jai and Jai Jr. "You & Jai is peanut butter & jelly always together one thing about you, you don’t play about your son! So humble, quiet & uplifting. I hate this happen to you Jai you didn’t deserve this! Jai need you."

RIP Jai. We send our love and condolences.
