"I ain't never said I was no lyricist either," the City Girl shared.

Yung Miami's relationship with rap, especially as it relates to people's assessment of her skills, is actually a complicated one. Two years ago, the City Girl shared that she had only been rapping for three years before blowing up alongside JT. In addition, she's responded plenty of times to haters who bash on her music and rapping skills, always brushing it off. Still, clearly she cares at least a little bit, or enough to warrant Twitter responded like the one she let off on Monday (June 19). In it, she insinuated that things are going so well for her right now that rap doesn't need to be part of the equation.

"So I said "h*e RAP FOR WHAT? this p***y pay the bills!!!" Yung Miami tweeted. "Cause y'all always saying I can't rap but I ain't even gotta rap tho!! LIFE IS GREAT b***h do you see how I'm living??? I ain't never said I was no lyricist either tho lmaooo," she concluded with crying emojis. Of course, the 29-year-old likely referenced backlash to her teasing a remix of "Put It On Da Floor."

Yung Miami's Response To The Haters

Back when she referenced only rapping for three years, she commented on needing some time to reach her full potential. Whether she's reaching it right now is your own opinion, but hype around her music plus her podcasting endeavors certainly point at that being the case. "I be rapping my a** off fr now I wanna go to the studio!” Yung Miami wrote on Twitter. “For me to only be rapping for 3 yrs with no experience I feel like I do good af idgaf who think differently. I use to be so shy and nervous I couldn’t record in front of nobody and I never wanted nobody to hear but now I’m more confident ion care who in the room I be like turn it up!!! Tf. We all gotta start from somewhere just give me room to grow."

Meanwhile, a recent Twitter Q&A with fans had her answering all sorts of questions. Whether it was about upcoming music, Diddy, or not wearing panties, the Florida native dished it all out. We're most likely going to get much more from the City Girls in the future, as fans are very excited for their musical comeback.
