JT recently spoke on how she felt "exempt" from jail during a time when she scammed people to hustle. Moreover, she discussed broader themes of incarceration and generational issues on the Angie Martinez IRL podcast. During their conversation, the City Girl recalled her mother, brother, and sister all going to jail. However, as she grew up, she felt invincible to imprisonment despite her risky lifestyle. Moreover, she said that she didn't fear prison time, because her friends were doing the same and maintaining freedom. In the Instagram clip of their conversation's caption, the media personality explained JT's story.
"@thegirljt is a born hustler, she’s always been an intelligent girl who wanted to move faster and further," the post read. "From Burger King to Whole Foods to scammin’ to rapping and topping the charts, JT always had the skills, but she couldn’t always break the generational curses. Less than two months after dropping her first record with the City Girls, she was indicted and would later have to go on to serve a federal prison sentence. Based on statistics, [JT's] story could have been bad, REAL BAD, But God had something bigger for her."
Furthermore, the 30-year-old elaborated on her story. "You wanna know a secret?" she asked Angie. "My mom, my brother, and my sister on my mom's side, they all had been to prison. I thought I was exempt. I thought it couldn't happen to me. All my friends scammin', and none of them went to jail. I thought I was untouchable. I thought I was going to be out here in my Chanel bags. My Gucci, and I though I was going to get away with it...and I was going to live my best life. But God had something bigger for me, you know? I feel like that's the reason I never went to prison. It could've went bad. Real bad," she concluded, laughing with Martinez.
Meanwhile, the Miami rapper just spoke glowingly of her boo, Lil Uzi Vert, and how inspiring they are. Between that and avoiding a life-changing scam bust, JT has much to be appreciative for. As always, come back to HNHH for more inspiring stories and the latest on JT and the City Girls.
