However, the duo kept their relationship private until 2021. Despite their relationship still going strong, they faced public scrutiny amid rumours about their alleged break-up.
During an appearance on The Breakfast Club in 2020, radio host Charlamagne tha God asked JT about her split from Vert. To which, the 32-year-old rapper laughed and said, 'I did not….I didn't break up with nobody.'
In a 2023 appearance on Angie Martinez's IRL Podcast, JT said of Vert, 'He's a great man.' 'No matter how the internet tries to paint Uzi. Uzi is a great man! He's so inspiring. No matter what he's going through, he's going to work,' she added.
