During the 2023 BET Awards on Sunday (June 25), JT and Lil Uzi Vert, who have had an on-and-off relationship, found themselves in a public altercation. The incident took place in Los Angeles and quickly escalated into a scuffle after JT allegedly threw her phone at Lil Uzi Vert during a heated exchange.
As tensions rose, speculation spread through the audience, and JT directed expletives at Uzi, referring to him as a derogatory term and a “groupie.” After the argument, the City Girls rapper swiftly exited the scene, with Lil Uzi Vert following closely behind.

During the BET Awards, a video was briefly posted on BET’s TikTok page but has since been deleted. The video showed Lil Uzi Vert engaged in a conversation with a visibly distressed JT. It’s unclear whether this conversation occurred before or after their dispute, adding more intrigue to the situation. The caption of the video teased viewers to speculate about what Uzi may have said to JT.
Despite their public disagreement, it appears that JT and Lil Uzi Vert were able to find common ground by the end of the night. They were seen leaving the event together, which sparked discussions among their fans about the cause of their dispute. Much of the speculation focused on a photo of Uzi sitting next to Ice Spice during the show. Ice Spice shared a picture of the two of them on Instagram, and JT liked the post, further fueling the rumors and intrigue surrounding their relationship.
During the event, Lil Uzi Vert premiered an unreleased song that added more drama to the situation. The song included a controversial lyric mentioning a well-known rap star from the Bronx. Uzi rapped, “I’m intimately involved with this person, and their wig came off twice. They used to have a small afro, resembling Ice Spice.”
Despite the heated exchange at the BET Awards, JT has consistently shown her affection and support for Uzi, standing up for them against critics on multiple occasions. In October 2022, she took to Twitter to defend their personal choices, including their belly button piercings and their preference for they/them pronouns. In April, when a fan criticized Uzi’s attire, comparing it to “the bride of Chucky,” JT came to their defense, demonstrating her loyalty and commitment to their relationship.
