The rapstress took to Instagram to announce the track titled “No Bars.” It pays tribute to her friend Monica Suh, who passed away in a car crash and addresses her constant critics.

JT — born Jatavia Johnson —shared the single’s artwork and teased the topics she would cover. “B*tches always in my business,” she captioned the post.

She followed up with a clip from the music video wearing a black bikini in an empty pool as she posed for pics with a Free Willy floatie.

One fan commented, “Black Pamela Anderson vibes.” JT’s double D’s spilling out of her swimsuit top and her straight, banged wig definitely give bombshell energy.

She later posted a selfie, writing, “Pretty a** lips make these b*tch cop syringes.🫦 MAUH…… #Nobars out now!”

Singer, Normani, commented, “IT GIRL” and Influencer Dearra added, “the true definition of ‘when it’s your time it’s YOUR time.’ POP OFF baby”.

The Miami rapper shared her inspiration for making the tune along with more sexy pics in a carousel.

She wrote, “’No Bars’ is a freestyle I made in the studio when I was having one of those days, at the time like most of the time ppl were doubting me & questioning why I wasn’t as visual and vocal as others!” She added, “Not knowing me personally… I’d read the craziest things about myself & would want to scream but instead I went to the studio & popped my sh*t!”

The pint-sized powerhouse continued, “I know most of y’all have heard it but for those who haven’t I hope this freestyle finds you in a great place & is a start of the respect I deserve in music!” JT continued. “No more hiding my love for music, I love music! I love my voice! I love poppin my sh*t.” She ended her message with a declaration, “It’s only ME VS. ANXIETY.”

The video opens with a dedication to her friend, Monica, “I’m in Paris, just like we talked about. So this one’s for you”, she says as she pours one out for Monica in front of the Eiffel Tower.

The visuals intensify from there as quick clips of JT’s lips, scenes of her rapping in what appears to be an old prison bathroom and fun with friends, fans and her partner in rap, Yung Miami, zip by.

She raps, “I’m low-key, b*tches f*ck with my anxiety/I’m prayed up, and I’m waitin’ on my rivalry. I’m the hype, nah, y’all ain’t gotta hype me/I’m that b*tch, give a f*ck who don’t like me.”

Check out the full “No Bars” video below.

It seems like her fans’ favorite line from the track is, “Doing all that wifey sh*t knowing he don’t f*ck with you.” They repeatedly quoted the bar in the replies.

JT released her first solo single after serving two years in prison for credit card fraud charges. She dropped “JT First Day Out” as she transitioned to a halfway home. Earlier this week, she announced the No Bars Reform website. It is designed to aid formerly incarcerated women in reentering society. Featured resources include therapy, employment assistance, living accommodations and social services.

As reported by Revolt in June, The City Girls are working on a new project after their pursuit to create the perfect single.

“We’ve been working on new music, and I feel the problem was we were trying to put out the perfect song, but that turned into a project,” JT admitted.

Ouuu, let’s see what the Hip Hop duo whips up next!

This week in politics, the vibes are messy, alarming, and straight-up confusing. From late night TV being snatched off the air to vaccine policies getting hijacked, it’s giving “WTF is going on?” Let’s break down the headlines everyone’s talking about inside. First Amendment on the Chopping Block Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show has been pulled from ABC, and Stephen Colbert’s show? Cancelled completely. The official line is murky, but the bigger picture is loud. Free speech is being tested under the Trump administration. While Trump once said he’d “honor” the First Amendment, recent moves suggest he’s working off a remix version that only benefits him. Case in point? The Guardian reports his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times. A judge already tossed it out, saying Trump’s claims about “false content” violated federal rules. Still, the fact that these lawsuits and cancellations keep happening has people questioning the future of free expression in America. CDC Shake-Up Sparks Health Concerns Meanwhile, over at the CDC, things are getting political fast. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has basically turned the agency upside down, firing all 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee and replacing them with appointees that include vaccine skeptics. On top of that, the CDC director is out, high-level staffers are resigning, and decisions about vaccine safety are suddenly more about politics than science. Public health leaders are calling this move dangerous, saying it dismantles independent oversight just when Americans need clarity most. According to California’s government website, they are one of the few states pushing back on the federal government’s stance. California, Washington, and Hawaii aren’t taking it lying down. The states have formed an alliance pushing back on the feds, promising to keep vaccine guidance rooted in science, safety, and transparency. Their health officers are reviewing guidelines from trusted medical groups like the AAP and ACOG to ensure communities still have access to clinically recommended vaccines. Trump & Xi Meet About US TikTok’s Next Chapter And then there’s TikTok. After years of “will they, won’t they?” drama, Trump announced that he and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping approved a deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations. According to BBC, the plan reportedly hands control to a group of U.S. investors, sidestepping a shutdown. Trump called the call with Xi “productive” on Truth Social, and even, teased a face-to-face meetup at the APEC summit in South Korea this fall. From free speech battles to vaccine wars and TikTok drama, this week in politics has us all asking the same thing: WTFGO?
