"I am not into the shit y'all think I'm into." Rap star JT1 is lounging on a couch in her stylist's Lower Manhattan wardrobe studio. It's the night before her Cosmopolitan cover shoot and nearly a dozen people move through the room, sidestepping racks of clothes and shoes stacked to the ceiling. But she isn't actually addressing any of us—that pointed "y'all" is directed at her haters. Or more specifically, at the people who refuse to accept her growth, those who can't move beyond the 20-something member of the hip-hop duo City Girls they first encountered years ago. Back then, JT was hungry for stardom, a bit gritty. "I'm really just not in that era no more," she confesses. |
