JT of City Girls has returned to her verified Twitter account after briefly taking a short break from the platform. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen celebrities old tweets resurfacing early in their careers.
Some users found some of her old tweets to be funny, while others found them to be very distasteful. Some of the tweets touched on R. Kelly, racial issues and had a few colorist remarks, along with other sensitive issues.
On Tuesday afternoon, JT returned with a series of tweets addressing those who have publicly called her out and criticized the resurfaced tweets.
“Y’all kill me acting like Twitter was always woke,” she said, later saying she takes Twitter as something she does for fun while reserving her “dead a** serious” side for her life outside of social media.
“If your account say since 2018 you don’t make the rules of Twitter [and] you can’t cancel nobody,” she said in another tweet. “You just got here you are in orientation.”
“I been on here since 2011 If y’all wanna read my tweets from when I was mad getting off work that’s on y’all,” she continued in a separate tweet.
After responding to some of the criticism, JT eventually deactivated her Twitter and continued to address the situation on her Instagram Story. Judging by those she’s seemingly isn’t taking the criticism all too serious but does want people to stop bringing up the old tweets.
“Nah all jokes aside,” she wrote. “stop searching them tweets cause I don’t feel like slapping a b**ch back into the same year I was talking about them in.”
But as JT confirmed on her temporary account, her verified page will return once the tweets have been completely removed.
This page a joke,” she wrote on Monday. “I’ll be back on my old page very professional once the mass delete is done I might keep this one & put it on private.”
