The two music divas recently were seen dancing in a video circulating on social media after attending an event for Solange’s glassware collection, which is available through her online gallery and shop of her multidisciplinary creative agency, Saint Heron. 

According to The Jasmine Brand, “they celebrated her big accomplishment with family and friends at the home of Black pioneering architect Paul R. Williams while dancing to “Poke It Out” by Playboi Carti and Nicki Minaj.

In the short clip, Solange begins to bend over and twerk on JT’s back as the Houston native tells her, “Poke It Out.” She then stops to hype up the Miami artist, who bends over for a full twerk session while wearing a blue ocean-like dress.

JT is a regular at twerking on stage during performances or in other videos on social media. Though fans on Instagram and X were shocked at their unexpected pairing, many seem to love seeing this side of Beyoncé’s sister.

“Miami and H town.”

“jt and solange twerking to poke it out?! goodmorning to me.”

“JT locked in with the Knowles clan.”

“The link up we never knew we needed.”

Solange be with the ratchet s—t & I love her for that.”

The video was originally shared in another attendee’s Instagram story, and some critics felt the moment should have been kept private instead of shared with the world.

One wrote, “People can’t even party in private,” while another said, “However leaked it will never see another invite. Let people BE… everything isn’t meant for socials.”

Solange has been rather quiet on social media, and hasn’t posted on her personal Instagram page since June 24. This was a week after news about her smoky glass collection was spread across numerous outlets. The multi-hyphenate singer has expanded her creativity from music to films and fashion to art design.

She designed her “Small Matter Art Objects: Glassware 001” collection of smoke-colored vessels, which were made by Jason McDonald, who is widely known from season two of the Netflix glassblowing competition series “Blown Away.”

As for JT, she also appears to have a fashion endeavor in the works after announcing her TheGirlJTWorld line last month. Thus far, shirts, bikinis and hoodies have been released from the first collection, which appears to be sold out, with another dropping Sept. 8.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
