The City Girls made their return this past weekend, though some have suggested that it's time for JT to get serious about a solo career.

The landscape of the industry has changed significantly in recent years, leaving many artists with lower first week sales numbers than ever previously seen in their careers. In particular, women working in music are having a difficult time keeping up with their male counterparts, and as a result, getting clowned online despite all their hard work and other achievements. We saw it happen to both Coi Leray and Chloe Bailey earlier this year. Now, it's the City Girls whose critics are coming at them over their RAW sales. Regardless of what people like DJ Akademiks have to say, Yung Miami and JT don't seem to be letting their projections get them down.

Earlier this week, we found out that the duo's new arrival is set to move a total of 6K - 9K album equivalent units during its first seven days out. Compared to artists like Drake or Bad Bunny, these numbers are obviously minuscule, but as Caresha pointed out on Twitter, she's not mad at the results. "That's good for a b**ch who voice y'all hate and can't rap😏," the Florida native wrote on Monday (October 23) evening.

Yung Miami is Plotting on Her Haters

In another post, Miami made it clear that she's keeping tabs on those who are throwing shade her way. "All of a sudden everybody hate me," she posted yesterday. "I'm bookmarking everything ☺️. I love to make a b**ch eat they words!" the "Twerkulator" artist further noted.

Even though the numbers for City On Lock (approximately 19K) were substantially higher than RAW, the former album actually stirs up plenty of emotional turmoil within Yung Miami whenever it crosses her mind. Ahead of their latest drop, the City Girls sat down together to discuss their past work, which gets the podcaster all up in her feelings over the untimely death of her baby daddy.
