Did Cardi B call JT's boyfriend gay? The diss track, explained

What does Cardi B say about JT on 'Magnet'?

The second verse of Cardi B's "Magnet" is packed with references of controversies and complaints that have been directed at JT, of the City Girls, over the years — echoing a few thing that Cardi B herself, or other influential hip hop stars, have expressed about JT in the past.

Overall, the lyrics of "Magnet" range from calling JT a "fake friend," to questioning JT's "loyalty" to other artists, to accusing JT of "dick riding" for more opportunities in the music industry.

What does Cardi B say about Lil Uzi Vert on 'Magnet'?

Cardi B subsequently raps about JT "having an [n-word] she be sharin' bags with," adding: "My [n-word] cheat, but I don't stick no dildos in his ass, bitch."

Within this context, Cardi B compares her own ex-partner, Offset — who reportedly cheated on her multiple times — with JT's partner, Lil Uzi Vert, who has discussed their gender fluidity in the past.

This might be challenging to understand if you're not deep into the hip hop lore of modern-day female rappers, so let's share some context and break things down to make sense of Cardi B's lyrics.

Is there drama between Cardi B and JT?

Cardi B and the City Girls — a hip-hop duo consisting of JT and Yung Miami — first collaborated on a track titled "Twerk" off the duo's debut album, 2018's Girl Code.

There was eventually a music video for "Twerk" that came out in early 2019, and an alleged feud between the City Girls and Cardi B started making headlines around 2020. When asked about the drama rumors, JT told The Morning Hustle that there were "no problems going on with Cardi and our label," though she observed that there was some legal drama involving Migos — a hip hop group that included Cardi B's then-partner, Offset — and the City Girl's record label.

As years went by, however, an actual feud eventually came up between Cardi B and JT. An overview from okayplayer outlines Cardi B celebrating that her song with GloRilla had cracked the top 10 of Billboard Hot 100 charts.

That celebratory X post got a subtweet from JT, who wrote:

"im not like that at alllll I been doing remixes & never got credited ON A CHART BUT they get sung word for word and help push the original songs as intended unlike y’all well I can’t even say y’all cause you don’t rap,you TWEET! Congratulations Glo&stream FNF remix AND QUEENMIX."

Cardi B responded to JT with another X post.

"Lapdog," she wrote.

JT first defended her statements as being more about celebrating GloRilla than dismissing Cardi B. And yet, it didn't take long for that energy to shift.

"Wiener dog!" JT wrote, clearly responding to Cardi B's latter X post.

Is Lil Uzi Vert gay?

Lil Uzi Vert came out as nonbinary and updated their pronouns to they/them in July 2022 through Instagram, which was reported by the Los Angeles Times and confirmed by Pitchfork a few months later. On the other hand, Lil Uzi Vert has always denied being gay — a topic widely explored in their 2023 album Pink Tape, per Vibe.

While it is fair to interpret Cardi B's lyrics as being homophobic given that she seems to be joking and/or pejoratively referencing JT's partner as someone who enjoys wearing purses — while claiming that Vert also enjoys anal sex — Cardi B's lyrics seem flippant, and more focused on questioning how JT feels about Lil Uzi Vert rather than actually passing judgment on Vert themself.

To illustrate this point, JT often refers to Lil Uzi Vert as he/him, despite Vert announcing a preference for they/them pronouns.

Comparing Cardi B's lyrics about Lil Uzi Vert with the diss tracks about Drake getting a BBL.

The tone employed by Cardi B, who is queer herself, in these lyrics about Lil Uzi Vert remind listeners of the various recent diss tracks that accused Drake of getting a Brazilian butt lift (BBL) and lying about not getting any procedure done.

This supposed BBL from Drake was brought up in "HISS" by Megan Thee Stallion: "These [n-word, plural] hate on BBLs and be walkin' 'round with the same scars."

Similar claims were also referenced in one of Kendrick Lamar's diss tracks — "Meet the Grahams" — against Drake during their 2024 rap beef: "'Cause you lied about religious views, you lied about your surgery."

In both cases, the BBLs accusations against Drake were more about highlighting his own insecurities rather than being actually about Drake not being the straight man that he identifies as.

What can fans expect from this feud between Cardi B and JT being reignited?

JT has been with Lil Uzi Vert since 2019 and told People in July 2025 that she still considers them her "best friend" and intends on marrying Lil Uzi Vert soon.

On the other hand, Cardi B has seemingly — finally — moved on from her on-again, off-again relationship with Offset, telling Gayle King in a CBS Mornings interview that she's currently expecting a baby with her new boyfriend Stefon Diggs.

It's hard to believe that JT won't clap back at Cardi B's lyrics in "Magnet," particularly given how much fodder there is to throw shade at Cardi B's rather problematic relationship with Offset and that she's gotten pregnant with a new baby after dating Diggs very briefly.
