The City Girls have long had a reputation for keeping it candid.

And the duo lived up to that billing during a visit to ‘The Breakfast Club’ today (October 26).

Chopping it up with Charlemagne Tha God and DJ Envy, JT and Yung Miami waxed honest about the rocky roll-out of their latest album ‘RAW.’

Revealing that they presently have “bad management” (in actuality, no management), the ladies reflected honestly on their predicament saying:

“You can’t keep moving off culture. You have to move off strategy.”

Individually, they didn’t hold back on the various hot topic scenarios they’ve found themselves in.

JT opened up about her desire to drop a solo album and the real reason behind her BET altercation with boo Lil Uzi Vert.

Elsewhere, Yung Miami revealed she and Diddy still “go together real bad” – although she’s looking to settle down. She also spilled on shooting a reality show.

For those who thought there wasn’t any more room in Billboard books for a new historic feat from the Pop diva, she’s added yet another slew of accomplishments courtesy of the unexpected lift of her 2019 single, ‘Cruel Summer,’ to the top of this week’s Hot 100.
