JT Claps Back at Stan Culture in Passionate Rant

Honk Magazine

JT recently went on a deep Twitter rant on fans who have been harsh on her and the group, especially toxic fans in the world of stan culture. This was a full-on drag of fans who, in JT’s opinion, haven’t “achieved anything” themselves but are always ready to shit on somebody else. The recent feud between JT and Nicki sparked after fans deemed her an “embarrassment” for what she supposedly did over the past two weeks. JT took to her platforms to air her grievances. “I don’t owe any of you anything,” she snapped, signaling that she’s done with the constant criticism and online judgment.

It’s not shocking that the backlash has been so fierce since JT has always been outspoken against stan culture, a movement that’s blown up to alter how fans interact with the celebrities radically they’re obsessed with in a toxic manner. This isn’t the first time that JT has clashed with fanbases, especially those whom have pitted her and fellow female rap stars against one another. During the promotional rollout for City Girls’ 2023 album RAW, JT made headlines for challenging fans who were calling out her and Yung Miami for working hard, only for them to support another act instead.

As for her solo success, including the release of “No Bars,” JT has staked out her place, but the seemingly ceaseless rivalry of fanbases, especially those that deploy misogynistic language to belittle women who rap, has been an ever-present thorn in her side. Her social media presence has not helped, as JT often uses her platform to defend herself and the City Girls. In her latest rant, she showed she’s had enough of the double standards often found in the industry. JT has long been a proponent of dismissing the idea that female rappers need to battle each other, and she reiterated that in her post, taking the fans who propagate that idea to task. “Do something with your life,” JT echoing a resounding message to those who are consumed by negativity.

Chrisean Rock Asks for Prayer, Not Judgment, in Vulnerable New Clip

Honk Magazine

Chrisean Rock is sharing everything with a newfound sense of growth, vulnerability, and strength. Following a previously transformative year in 2024, the reality star turned musician has used social media again, asking her followers for prayer, not judgment. And to the people that do feel you’ll say a prayer for me, I’d appreciate it if you did. “I need y’all to pray for me,” she said bluntly. “I don’t need y’all to judge… Keep your opinion to yourselves.” It is a plea for sympathy as she goes through the rollercoaster of her life. Rock’s emotional plea comes on the heels of public moments that suggest a new, inward-facing Rock. Only a week before, she had been seen at church with her son, partaking in a service and singing one of her songs during fellowship.

These gestures are part of a reinvention following her incarceration in 2024 that embraced spirituality and a newfound sense of purpose. Rock is embracing faith and community while healing and growing personally and professionally. Rock has openly shared her struggle before, and her plea for prayer is not the first time she has opened up about it. In September 2024, she posted an emotional message on X (formerly known as Twitter), appealing for help as her mother, Charla Malone, lost the battle to addiction, too. Rock’s words were unfiltered, both loving and pleading for her mother, with a solicitation for recommendations for marriage rehabilitation programs in the DMV area.

The personal photos accompanying the message also came with Rock’s fierce support for her mom and her resolve to heal her family. Through these recent moments, Chrisean Rock is showing her followers that she’s not just a reality TV personality or a musician, but a woman on a journey, going through the healing process, searching for human connection and understanding. In a time when public figures are often met with a slate of criticisms, Rock’s appeal for “prayer” instead of slander reminds us of how important compassion is in current society. As she rebuilds and reshapes her life, Chrisean Rock is prepared to carry on with faith and she is asking her fans to pray her way through the process.
