JT Mourns Death Of Little Brother On Social Media
JT has revealed that her brother has passed away.
In a series of posts on X, the 32-year-old confirmed her younger sibling has died. The posts did not detail the manner of death or the exact date.
“Lost my little brother,” wrote the Miami rapper on Thursday (Dec. 5). “Being the oldest I really didn’t get a fair chance to grieve because I have to make sure he go away nice & my mom is happy… I love you JR [white heart emoji].”
She ended the post with “4ever.”
In a second upload, the “Okay” performer shared a throwback image of her and her brother with kind words. In the picture a young JT smiles, standing beside her little brother who is equally happy sitting in a white chair.
“I pray you’re somewhere so safe & comfortable,” shared JT.
Earlier this year the City Cinderella performer opened up about her childhood. She is the eldest of her mother’s three children, but one of the youngest of her father’s 16.
“I always felt like I was the black sheep in my family,” she explained, per PAPER Magazine. According to the outlet she moved in with her father and stepmother after her biological mother went to jail.
“I was in a [rap] group when I was a little girl, called The Protegees, with my sisters and brothers,” she continued. “I used to write my raps down. I was such a little girl that I don’t even remember much about it, but I know that I was writing my own music, and I was writing my sisters’ and brothers’ too.”
VIBE sends our condolences to JT and her family.
