The 2023 BET Awards took an unexpected turn when City Girls rapper JT and her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Lil Uzi Vert, engaged in a heated argument that escalated into a public altercation. The couple attended the star-studded event in Los Angeles on Sunday night, June 25, but what started as a disagreement quickly escalated.
Eyewitnesses captured footage of JT, visibly agitated, hurling her phone at Lil Uzi Vert in the midst of their argument. As the phone flew through the air, shocked attendees watched on, capturing the intense moment on their own devices. Fueled by anger, JT didn ‘t hold back, loudly calling him derogatory names, including a “bitch-ass n-gga “and a “groupie.” The tension between the couple escalated further as JT stormed off, with Lil Uzi Vert closely following her, trying to diffuse the situation. Another video, posted on BET’s official TikTok page, showed Lil Uzi Vert attempting to speak to JT, who appeared visibly upset. However, the context of the video was unclear, whether it was filmed before or after the phone-throwing incident.
Speculation arose regarding the cause of the dispute, with fans noting a photo of Lil Uzi Vert sitting next to Ice Spice during the awards show, which the rapper had posted on Instagram. Interestingly, JT had liked Spice’s post, catching the attention of eagle-eyed fans. This led to rumors that jealousy or misunderstandings surrounding the photo might have contributed to the argument.
During their performance at the BET Awards, Lil Uzi Vert debuted an unreleased song, which included lyrics that mentioned Ice Spice, rapping about their intimate encounters. The controversial lyrics added fuel to the fire, intensifying the publicized dispute between JT and Lil Uzi Vert.
Despite the public tiff, it seems the couple managed to reconcile their differences later in the evening. As the awards show concluded, JT and Lil Uzi Vert were spotted leaving together, suggesting that they had resolved their argument behind closed doors. The incident serves as a reminder of the passionate nature of their relationship, with intense highs and lows that have been witnessed by their devoted fanbase.
As news of the altercation spread, fans and media outlets speculated on what might have been said between JT and Lil Uzi Vert during their heated exchange. BET’ s official TikTok page posed the question, “What do you think Uzi told JT?” sparking further discussion and curiosity among fans.
