JT's latest mixtape, City Cinderella, is a powerful release, driven not only by its intense instrumentals but also by its thought-provoking lyrics. Many rap enthusiasts noticed hints aimed at some of her perceived competitors in the hip-hop scene. While the references aren't explicit, the tone is assertive enough to spark speculation. For instance, the opening track features what many interpret as a jab at Cardi B, referencing an incident involving a bottle during a performance, which Cardi denied. In the lyrics, JT raps, "Non-rapping b***h, who the f**k you talking to? / I was off in Saks, Gucci alligator bags / While you were laying on your back and stuffing bottles up your a**." The alleged disses toward Cardi continue in "Lemon Pepper," featuring Stunna Girl. This track recalls when Cardi made fun of JT's time in jail, referring to her as "prison pants." JT asserts, "JT a convicted felon and I’m still on they a** / These Rick Owens, boo, these ain’t prison pants." However, Cardi isn't the only one in JT's crosshairs; GloRilla also seems to be a target due to their past feud. JT raps in "Swang," "Now I’m hated by a b***h with a man voice." Despite the beefs, JT explained in her Paper cover story why she chose to release City Cinderella as a mixtape. She mentioned, "People work on their albums for a year; albums are just different. City Cinderella is not my first album because I made this project so quickly. I had to create this project during the tour and while moving around, so I didn’t have time to really nurture and doctor it. This is just something that I’m putting out with my pure instincts."
In the meantime, JT is set to embark on a tour to promote City Cinderella, so fans should secure their tickets for an exciting experience. While there may be more subtle shots at other artists in the mixtape, these are the most notable on initial listening. Whether these jabs are intentional remains to be seen, but the message is unmistakable. It would be better if artists focused on their own narratives instead of sneak dissing each other.
