Lil Uzi Vert and JT appear to have kissed and made up following their lovers’ tiff at the 2023 BET Awards this past weekend.
The Hip Hop power couple were spotted looking boo’d up once again at the prom-themed listening party for Uzi’s forthcoming album Pink Tape at New York City’s Irving Plaza on Tuesday night (June 27).
In a video from the event, the Philadelphia and Miami rappers were seen dancing together as an unreleased song from the project blared through the speakers, with Uzi holding JT’s hand and spinning her around.
More footage from the party showed Uzi casually eating a Filet-O-Fish from McDonald’s as they pulled up the venue. Lil Baby and Trippie Redd were also in attendance to support their friend and collaborator.
Lil Uzi Vert and JT’s relationship drama was on full display at the BET Awards on Sunday (June 25) as the City Girls star was filmed angrily throwing a phone at her boyfriend and calling them “a bitch-ass n-gga” and “a groupie” while sat in the audience.
Rumors suggested JT was upset that Uzi posed for a photo with Ice Spice, who he namedropped while performing during the awards show. “I’m fucking the dogshit out of this bitch, her wig came off twice/ She had a lil’ fro, she look like Ice Spice,” he rapped on an unreleased song.
However, a rep for JT told TMZ her blow-up “had nothing to do with Ice” and instead she “had become frustrated when she lost her seat after the audience shuffled around.”
In any case, the couple appeared to have resolved their dispute pretty quickly as they were seen leaving the show together at the end of the night.
As for Uzi’s new album, the Generation Now hitmaker earlier this week revealed the release date and cover art for Pink Tape, which will finally arrive on Friday (June 30).
They also shared a cinematic, anime-inspired trailer which follows Uzi as they attempt to recover their pink forehead diamond from a giant samurai ghoul.
Rewarding fans’ patience, the long-awaited project clocks in at a generous 26 songs and includes the previously released hit single “Just Wanna Rock.”Travis Scott and Playboi Carti among the big names said to be on the tracklist.

Earlier this year, footage of Mariah The Scientist and a woman named Cleopatra Dues allegedly getting into a brawl at an Atlanta club left social media users shocked. Reportedly, Dues told police that Mariah allegedly approached her and ripped off her wig, then proceeded to drag her across the floor of Cavo Kitchen and Cocktail Lounge. She insists that she never interacted with Mariah until the alleged incident.
In May, Mariah was arrested and charged with simple battery. Now, according to court documents obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, she's pleaded not guilty. Moreover, her attorney Brian Steel has asked for a jury trial. She's yet to address the debacle but may do so soon in court.
Unfortunately for Mariah, her own legal woes aren't the only ones she's dealing with these days. Her boyfriend Young Thug is also currently behind bars on RICO charges. His high-profile trial was put on hold earlier this week. The defense filed a motion for Fulton County Superior Court Judge Ural Glanville to recuse himself due to an ex parte meeting with prosecutors and witness Kenneth Copeland. The trial won't continue until another judge reviews the case. Glanville also plans to release a transcript of his meeting with Copeland “so everyone will have a chance to look at it.”
It's unclear exactly how long this could take. The trial is already the longest in state history, however, and doesn't look like it'll be coming to a close anytime soon. What do you think of Mariah The Scientist pleading not guilty to battery? What about her attorney Brian Steel asking for a jury trial?
