Notably, Uzi has just performed with fellow rapper Ice Spice earlier in the evening and even mentioned her in one of his songs. However, JT clearly did not seem impressed by the situation as she confronted her partner aggressively.
Videos circulating online captured the moment when JT struck Lil Uzi Vert with her phone and berated him for his actions. In the video, Lil Uzi Vert seems to be caught off guard as he claims he didn’t even do anything.

Fans have taken sides as some argue that Lil Uzi Vert hadn’t done anything wrong while others claim that his lyrics triggered JT. In particular, Uzi’s line ‘I got a nice wife.. wig came off twice.. she got a lil ‘fro, she look like Ice Spice!’ landed him in trouble.
