Posted byBy Daryl Nelson | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

City Girls member JT,  sent a message to her fans after being locked up for more than three months on fraud charges.

“Wassup, y’all. I miss y’all,” she said. “I can’t wait to come home. Period.”

The rapper sent the message through the phone while she was speaking to Quality Control’s CEO Pee, who posted it to Instagram.

The City Girls, a Miami-based rap duo, first started making noise when their cut  “F— that N—-” appeared on “Quality Control Presents Control The Streets Vol. 1.”

But they would launch into mega popularity after collaborating with Drake on “In My Feelings,” even getting named dropped in the song.

“Resha, do you love me? / JT do you love me?” Drake croons.

The women’s real names are Caresha Brownlee, who goes by Yung Miami and Jatavia Johnson, who’s JT.

Earlier this year, the pair released their documentary “Point Blank Period” where you can see JT live out her last days of freedom. During that time, she heard “In My Feelings” on the radio for the first time, attended an awards show and made a bunch of new songs and videos.

And just before she turned herself in, which was also captured in the documentary, JT posted a message to all her fans and supporters.

“[I] did more than I thought I could imagine [in] this short period of time out on bond,” she wrote. “Now it’s time for me to knock this down and come back stronger forever.”

JT was supposed to be released in March of 2020, but last week Yung Miami sent a tweet and said she’d be getting out much sooner.

“JT will be home in December,” she wrote.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
