JT

Jatavia Shakara Johnson, known professionally as JT, is an American rapper and songwriter best known as one half of the Miami-based hip-hop duo City Girls, alongside Yung Miami. Born on December 3, 1992, in Liberty City, Miami, Florida, JT grew up in a tough neighborhood that shaped her gritty, unapologetic lyrical style. She and Yung Miami formed City Girls in 2017 and quickly gained attention with their raw, party-driven music.

City Girls rose to mainstream prominence when their song “In My Feelings” was sampled by Drake on his 2018 hit of the same name from the album “Scorpion.” The exposure catapulted the duo to national fame, and they signed with Quality Control Music. Their debut mixtape “Period” and subsequent projects “Girl Code” (2018) and “City on Lock” (2020) established them as leading voices in female hip-hop. Despite JT serving a federal prison sentence for credit card fraud from 2018 to 2020, the duo maintained their momentum through strategic releases.

Following her release from prison, JT returned stronger than ever, contributing to City Girls’ continued success. The duo released “RAW” in 2022 and continued touring extensively. JT also began making moves as a solo artist, releasing singles that showcased her individual artistry apart from the duo. Her bold personality and social media presence, particularly her relationship with rapper Lil Uzi Vert, kept her consistently in the public eye.

JT’s net worth of approximately $5 million comes from her music career with City Girls, solo endeavors, touring income, brand partnerships, and social media influence. She has secured endorsement deals with major brands and has become a fashion icon known for her bold style choices. Her journey from Liberty City to hip-hop success has made her an inspirational figure in the genre.
