A viral video of City Girls’ JT throwing her phone at her boyfriend Lil Uzi Vert at the BET Awards 2023 has caused a stir and raised questions about their relationship.
The annual award show, which bills itself as the “ultimate platform to showcase the best, brightest and most beautiful aspects of the Black experience,” aired live from Los Angeles on Sunday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on BET.
Fans were thrilled with performances from stars like Ice Spice, Lil Uzi Vert, Ja Rule, Remy Ma, GloRilla, and more, while Drake, Lizzo, and more will vie for a number of awards.
One of the ultimate winners at the night was Busta Rhymes who was honored with the BET Lifetime Achievement. In his acceptance speech, he thanked his family and revealed he has six children.
However, a chaos happened between JT of City Girls fame and her boyfriend, rapper Lil Uzi Vert as a viral video shows her hitting him hard with her phone at the star-studded event. This leads to many asking what transpired between them.
What happened between JT and Lil Uzi at the BET Awards 2023?
JT and Lil Uzi Vert got into an explosive row at the BET Awards Sunday night (Jun. 25), culminating in the City Girls rapper calling her boo a “groupie” and throwing her phone at them before storming out of the ceremony.
The night started off well for Lil Uzi, opening the ceremony with their hit “I Just Wanna Rock.” However, it ended with them trailing after their girlfriend JT after a scuffle.
Video clips of the incident show JT yelling at Lil Uzi in a heated argument. She called the Philadelphia artist a “F###### groupie” before hurling her phone at them while yelling, “B####!” Uzi remained seated while JT continued yelling expletives at them. “The f### wrong with you, b####? B#### ass n####, she added before storming off.
Another clip shows the “Good Love” hitmaker stomping out of the venue as Lil Uzi attempts to catch up to her.
While it’s unclear what caused the altercation, the commentary on one video says JT “spazzed because Uzi was talking to Ice Spice.” Reality TV starlet Natalie Nunn shared a video from the awards showing Ice Spice seated next to a stoney-faced JT and Lil Uzi.
Ice Spice arrived at the 2023 BET Awards at Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California, wearing a stunning see-through gown. After a quick outfit change, she also performed a medley of her hits during the ceremony.
