JT | Before They Were Famous | Rough Life Of Lil Uzi Vert Girlfriend
Before They Were Famous - A podcast by Michael McCrudden

Back in 2017, Jatavia Johnson, soon to be known worldwide as JT, hit up one of her best friends in the world, Caresha Brownlee, with an absolutely crazy idea, telling her friend: “Hey, let’s rap.” At first, Caresha thought her pal was joking, but they both decided to give it a go anyway, feeling their way through their first-ever recording session. Fast forward one year later, these two would be calling themselves JT and Yung Miami and have a brand-new, super successful career that includes being featured in one of the biggest Drake hits of all time: “In My Feelings”, which topped the charts for ten weeks. But just as these two best friends from middle school reached the precipice of accomplishing their dreams, JT had to turn herself into prison to serve a two-year sentence for credit-card fraud. For most people, that would probably curtail their entire career, but for JT it was just another roadblock on her way to inevitable success.
