12 hours before JT was reported to turn herself in, she was in the studio.

According to Yung Miami, when JT does get out, the haters are going to be super hurt, “When she, [JT], get out, they gone really hate us. They gone want us dead. That’s how bad it’s going to be. They gone be like them hoes ain’t humble no more, at all. PERIOD.”
