Yung Miami is not reducing her fractured relationship with JT to a clean yes-or-no answer. During an appearance on The Jason Lee Show, she was asked directly whether she misses her former City Girls partner and childhood friend. Rather than confirm or deny it, Miami said she has accepted the situation as it stands and is continuing with her life.
That restraint is meaningful because Miami’s debut solo album, Watch Dis!, includes a song called “Dear JT,” a track rooted in the pair’s separation. A public song addressed to a former friend can easily be read as an invitation, a diss, or a plea for repair. Miami has framed it differently: as an outlet for feelings she needed to express, not a device meant to force a reaction from JT.
Her position, as presented in the conversation, contains several ideas that can coexist even if they do not produce a neat resolution. Miami says she has no hatred for JT. She says she would forgive her and is open to talking. She also says she is moving ahead regardless of whether that conversation happens. And when asked whether JT was there for her during controversy involving Miami’s former relationship with Diddy, she answered no.
“Dear JT” is expression, not a stated demand for reconciliation
Miami previously explained that “Dear JT” was her way of putting her feelings into a song and moving forward. She said the record was not made to bait JT into responding. That distinction matters in a moment when listeners often treat a song title, a pointed lyric, or even silence as a coded public negotiation.

Here, the available facts support a more limited reading. “Dear JT” is a personal track connected to the rupture between the former collaborators. Miami has said she cried while recording it, and she had not played it for JT before it was released on October 23. Those details establish that the song was emotionally difficult to make. They do not establish that Miami expected, requested, or received a reply.
JT has not publicly responded to the track. There is also no indication from Miami’s latest comments that the two have resumed communication. That leaves the central status of the relationship unresolved: there may be openness to a future conversation, but there is no confirmed reconciliation.
Why the distinction is important
A reconciliation is more than an artist saying they would be willing to speak. It would generally require mutual participation and some evidence that a damaged relationship has been addressed. Forgiveness, meanwhile, can be a personal stance: one person may be prepared to forgive without knowing whether the other person wants to reconnect. Miami’s comments describe the latter, not the former.
Likewise, “moving forward” should not automatically be interpreted as indifference. It can mean choosing not to place one’s personal progress on hold while a relationship remains unsettled. Miami did not give the simple admission the question sought, but she did not dismiss the relationship as meaningless either.
Miami still describes JT as family
The most revealing part of Miami’s comments may be the language she uses for the bond itself. She said she regards JT as family, comparing the connection to that of a sister or cousin. The comparison recognizes that severe disputes can change how people relate to each other without deleting the history that made the relationship important.
For Miami, that history spans more than a business partnership. The reported fallout is tied to a childhood friendship as well as the end of the City Girls chapter. That context helps explain why her answer is complicated rather than final. The relationship is presented as painful and distant, but still significant.
Her answer about support during the controversy surrounding her former relationship with Diddy adds another layer. Miami said JT was not there for her. That is a direct statement of disappointment, and it sits alongside her willingness to leave a door open for forgiveness. Neither position cancels the other. One addresses what Miami felt she did not receive during a difficult time; the other addresses what she may be willing to do in the future.
Miami’s stance is not that the relationship is repaired. It is that the relationship mattered, the hurt was real, and her own life will continue without waiting for a public resolution.
Speculation about jealousy remains unconfirmed
The interviewer offered a theory that jealousy could have played a role in the friendship’s deterioration, pointing to Miami’s highly visible relationship and personal life. That is an interpretation raised in the interview, not an explanation Miami confirmed.
It is important to preserve that boundary. Public breakups between collaborators attract theories because audiences look for a single cause: career competition, outside relationships, conflicting loyalties, or private resentment. But none of those possibilities should be converted into fact without confirmation from the people involved. Miami’s comments supplied no endorsement of the jealousy theory.
The more supportable takeaway is narrower. Miami recognizes a serious break in a long relationship, says she does not hate JT, and says a conversation remains possible. What led to the fallout, how each person understands it, and whether any private communication has occurred remain unclear.
A solo rollout shaped by a former partnership
The discussion arrives as Miami’s solo work places new focus on the end of City Girls and the personal consequences attached to it. Solo rollouts often invite listeners to separate the artist’s present identity from a prior group dynamic. In this case, Miami is not pretending the past disappeared. “Dear JT” brings the history into the work while also making clear that she sees the album as part of her forward motion.
That does not mean the track should be treated as a complete account of the relationship. A song can document an emotion without functioning as a full record of events. Miami has identified its purpose as expression, and the recording process was visibly personal to her. Listeners can understand the song as part of her perspective without assuming it provides the entire story for both people.
There is a practical difference between engaging with the music and trying to turn unresolved private conflict into a spectator sport. The confirmed points are limited but substantive:
- Miami addressed her feelings about JT in “Dear JT,” released October 23.
- She said she cried while recording the song and had not played it for JT before release.
- She says she does not hate JT and would be willing to forgive her and talk.
- She says she is accepting the current reality and moving forward.
- Miami said JT was not there for her during the controversy involving her former relationship with Diddy.
- JT has not publicly answered the song, and no resumed communication has been indicated.
Everything beyond those points needs care, especially claims about motivations. The public has an emotional document in “Dear JT” and Miami’s current account of where she stands. It does not yet have confirmation of a repaired friendship, a definitive cause for the separation, or JT’s public response.
What Miami’s answer actually leaves open
Miami’s refusal to answer whether she misses JT may be less evasive than it first appears. The question asks for a feeling to be translated into a binary. Her response instead emphasizes acceptance, boundaries, and a willingness to forgive. That is a more complicated answer, but it fits the situation she describes.
She can consider JT family while acknowledging that JT was absent when she needed support. She can make a song about the pain of the separation while insisting it was not engineered to get a reaction. She can be open to a discussion while declining to make her own next steps dependent on one.
For now, “Dear JT” stands as Miami’s public expression of that complexity, while the larger relationship remains unresolved. Readers looking for a concise rundown of the latest comments can also find additional coverage of Miami’s decision to move forward as questions about JT remain. What is clear from Miami’s own framing is that she is not closing the door with hostility—but she is no longer waiting at it.
