Lil Uzi Vert and JT have had a publicly tumultuous relationship since they confirmed it in 2021, with Lil Uzi Vert's exes often reviving old posts and text messages upsetting JT. Still, the pair seems to be going strong as JT described herself as "a real city girl" because her boyfriend paid all the bills.

JT's romance with famed rapper Lil Uzi Vert reportedly began in 2019; however, the couple only confirmed it in 2021. According to sources, Lil Uzi Vert showed up at JT's halfway house in Atlanta, Georgia, with a bag full of money while she served her sentence in 2019.

He told her to take as much as she wanted, but she could only fit about $30,000 into her Chanel bag. Afterward, the pair had their first date, spending time at Taco Bell and the Louie Vuitton store. That year in November, dating speculations about the couple began swirling around the internet.

Neither confirmed or denied them at the time, but Lil Uzi Vert briefly posted Instagram stories showing that he was spending time with JT. Then during a 2020 interview on "The Breakfast Club," the host asked JT about her relationship with the "Money Longer" artist — even after he was explicitly told not to.

Still, there was no confirmation of her connection to Lil Uzi Vert or relationship status. In September of that year, a fan wrote that she was romantically involved with Lil Uzi Vert, but he responded quickly to shut the rumors down. In November, a mirror selfie of him and JT surfaced, and the dating speculations gained momentum once more.

JT responded on Twitter, remarking that the picture was old and implying it was insignificant. In February 2021, she and the rapper got into a public war of words on Twitter after Lil Uzi Vert said he only loved himself. Weeks later, JT shared with her following that she craved crab legs, and Lil Uzi Vert responded, saying they were on the way.

All these interactions and encounters led to Lil Uzi Vert finally confirming that they were together, as he proclaimed his love for JT, calling her "the one" in March 2021. However, Lil Uzi Vert's ex-girlfriend, Brittany Byrd, soon after posted screenshots of her old text messages with the artist, insinuating they were still together.

Neither JT nor Lil Uzi Vert responded until two months later when the lovers graced the cover of Arena Homme+, the photos of which were prematurely leaked on Instagram. As the pictures showed them dressed in undergarments, Byrd tweeted a sock emoji in response to the leaked images.

Fans immediately interpreted the tweet as Byrd insinuating that her ex stuffed a sock in his briefs before shooting. This led to a furious rant from JT, where she finally responded to Byrd's screenshots from earlier that year before telling her to "move on," "live her life," and "be happy."

Lil Uzi Vert and JT's Relationship Has Been on and Off

In August 2021, rumors of the lovers' separation surfaced when they reportedly unfollowed each other on their socials. They remained unconfirmed until that December when Lil Uzi Vert booked the whole of Nickelodeon Studios Park to celebrate JT's 29th birthday and surprised her with a McLaren.

In April this year, Lil Uzi Vert took to Twitter to express his frustrations over his break-up with JT, revealing that she ended the relationship. This was after a Philadelphia musician named Distortedd retweeted a since-deleted post where Lil Uzi Vert was "shooting his shot" with her in 2015.

JT responded to Lil Uzi Vert's frustrations, explaining that he had lied about the post being "fake" and not "old." However, only a few days later, she wrote on Instagram that nobody loved her boyfriend like she could, alongside a selfie of herself and Lil Uzi Vert.

JT also appeared on "Caresha Please" this August, where she gushed about the artist, saying there wasn't anything he wouldn't do for her, including paying all the bills. The following month, Lil Uzi Vert called JT his "future baby momma" after revealing the $300 bracelet she bought him on Chris Smoove's page as he showed off his jewelry.
