The Diss Track that Ignited the Conflict
The public disagreement began following the release of Cardi B's sophomore album, Am I The Drama? One track in particular, "Magnet," quickly drew attention for its pointed lyrics.
In the song, Cardi B appears to target JT and her relationship with rapper Lil Uzi Vert. The lyrics reference another artist's relationship dynamics and fashion choices, which many listeners connected directly to JT.
"All that d*ck ridin', still ain't get no feature-ass b*tch / She just mad she got a n***a she be sharin' bags with / My n***a cheat, but I don't stick no dildos in his ass, b*tch / You look a hot mess, easily impressed-ass b*tch," Cardi B raps on the track.
The verse continues with what seems to be a critique of JT's fashion sense, suggesting she only knows one designer and offering to take her to a fashion show.
Background on the Artists
Cardi B is a Grammy-winning artist known for hits like "Bodak Yellow" and "I Like It." JT, a member of the hip-hop duo City Girls, has also achieved significant commercial success. The two artists have a history of public tension.
JT's Initial Social Media Response
It did not take long for JT to react to the song. In a now-deleted post on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, she appeared to respond directly to the diss.
JT's post targeted Cardi B's physical appearance and her signature rapping style. "Guitar body h* wasn't talking about me," she wrote. She added, "Better be quiet before I tell them the real tea... With that one flow lol." The post was removed from her account shortly after it was published.
Social Media as a Battleground
Public disputes between high-profile musicians often play out on social media platforms like X and Instagram. These exchanges can generate millions of impressions and drive public conversation, but posts are often deleted as conflicts evolve.
Feud Escalates with Allegations Against Stefon Diggs
The conflict took a more serious turn when JT shifted her focus to Cardi B's partner, Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs. JT shared a video clip on her X account featuring a man named Chris Blake Griffith.
In the clip, Griffith makes severe allegations against Diggs, including accusations of being drugged and assaulted. JT commented on the video, expressing her support for Griffith and calling the situation "sad." She wrote, "This is f*cking NUTTS & sad! Gay men should be protected. I feel like this isn't being taken seriously enough!"
In a subsequent post, JT made a direct and unsubstantiated claim about Diggs' sexuality based on the video. "CARDI B BABY FATHER A GAY MAN!!!!!!!!!!" she posted. She clarified her reasoning, stating it was "because CHRIS said it out of his mouth!!!! JUSTICE FOR CHRIS I stand with the gays!!!!!" These posts brought a new level of personal accusation into the feud, moving beyond the music industry and into the personal lives of their partners.
JT Defends Lil Uzi Vert Amid Criticism
As the online exchange continued, some social media users began criticizing JT's partner, Lil Uzi Vert, pointing to his androgynous fashion choices, such as carrying purses. One user suggested JT had "bigger fish to fry" than to focus on Cardi B.
JT quickly defended Lil Uzi Vert's style and character. She affirmed that his unique fashion is part of his identity and artistic expression.
"Yes my man does this! mind his business works hard, take care of his family!" she declared in a post. "Inspired his generation & doesn't snatch ass! His style is what made him LIL UZI!!!! We are talking about Chris right now. FOCUS!"
In her final remarks on the matter, JT labeled Cardi B a "fraud" and a "scammer." The dispute also resurfaced previous claims from media personality Joe Budden, who had questioned whether Cardi B writes all of her own lyrics, a claim Cardi B has refuted. The combination of lyrical disses, personal attacks, and serious third-party allegations has made this one of the most intense public feuds in recent hip-hop.
