.CityGirls_QC open up about JT's jail time -- and why they're ready to conquer 2020:

The homegrown outfit was breaking artists at a clip some majors couldn’t match. Coach and P’s formula was working, and their ambitions for the label expanded beyond Atlanta.
The day after their meeting, JT called up Coach with some information she had withheld: She had accepted a plea deal after being arrested in June 2017 for aggravated identity theft and was due for sentencing in a month. To Coach and P, it was a hurdle, but not a deal-breaker — they had worked with Migos back when the trio’swas locked up, and there’s an argument that the #FreeOffset campaign helped build the group’s buzz. “But there was still two Migos, so it was still a group,” says P.
JT speaks of her time in prison in offhand anecdotes, like how she would regularly get yelled at for absent-mindedly calling the guards “baby.” But when I ask her directly, it’s clear she’s not quite ready to talk more deeply about it. “It was some shit I never want to experience again. When you BOP custody, you belong to them,” she says, still pacing hyperactive laps around the studio. “Not to say I don’t ever want to talk about it.
