Hey everyone! So, Young Miami recently opened up for the first time about Diddy on her podcast, “Karisha Please,” during a chat with Saucy Santana. This is the first time she’s really talked about him since all his legal drama started.
We all know Diddy’s been under serious heat lately, especially after getting sued by Cassie and his producer, Lil Rod. It’s been a downhill slide ever since, with accusations flying left and right—from domestic violence to sexual assault, and even trafficking.
Young Miami’s name has been dragged into this mess too. According to Lil Rod’s lawsuit, she was supposedly working as Diddy’s escort. There are also claims that she was involved in some drug stuff, like transferring Tusi to Diddy, and she’s even been accused of taunting one of Diddy’s other girlfriends, Gina V, with some pretty intense stuff. It lines up with what Cassie has accused Diddy of—forcing her to do things with other male escorts while under the influence.
So yeah, Young Miami’s really found herself in hot water by getting mixed up with Diddy. But during their time together, she did get some perks—Diddy helped her launch her podcast, “Kisha Please,” on his network, Revolt, which he’s since stepped down from. He also put money into her merch, like her candles, and took her to big events like the Met Gala. Thanks to him, her brand got a serious boost. At one point, it even seemed like Young Miami might not need her group, The City Girls, anymore—at least, that’s how it looked.
Before Young Miami got involved with Diddy, she was with JT in The City Girls, and honestly, they were struggling financially. She’s admitted it herself—their music wasn’t really connecting with people, and the money just wasn’t coming in. “That’s when I knew I had to start my own brand,” she said. “I needed to do something because the group wasn’t making any money; we weren’t working.”
Given how tough things were for the group, it’s easy to see why Young Miami would be drawn to someone like Diddy. He’s a millionaire, he’s got all these connections, and he’s a major figure in hip-hop. To her, it must’ve felt like hitting the jackpot. Diddy wasn’t just boosting her career; he was also helping her out financially. She’s talked about how much he believed in her, how he would pump her up and invest in her. Over time, her brand became so tied to his that The City Girls kind of faded into the background.
But here’s the thing—I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I feel like Young Miami sold her soul to Diddy. And by that, I mean she gave up her brand, her body, and basically everything she had, in exchange for his money, his connections, and more fame. For a while, it seemed like everything was going great for her—until it all fell apart.
Recently, Young Miami broke down in tears over the backlash after Diddy’s fall from grace. The moment he started to crumble, she went down with him. And honestly, this is what happens when you sell your soul. It’s clear she’s in a tough spot right now. Watching her on her podcast was heartbreaking. She used to seem like she had it all together, but now she’s opening up about how sad and lonely she feels. Her brand isn’t what it used to be, she’s lost money, the public’s love has faded, and she even feels like she’s lost herself. Her music isn’t doing well, and she’s lost so much.
Honestly, it’s been a rollercoaster for me. One minute, I’m happy; the next, I’m sad, and then I feel like [expletive]. The worst part? The people I thought would be there for me just weren’t. No one called to check in, no one asked how I was holding up. It’s like they vanished. Losing your sense of self is tough, and it really gets to you when you spend most of your day reading all this negative stuff. After a while, you start thinking, “Should I just give up?” I feel like I’ve lost who I am, and it’s painful. I can’t even release music right now because when I do, all I hear is that there’s no growth in what I’m putting out.
You might’ve heard about what Young Miami’s been going through, and honestly, I feel for her. I know not everyone does, but I do. Whether it’s for PR or not, her tears seemed real to me. She might not be perfect, but she’s still human. I respect her for being brave enough to open up like that. And shout out to Saucy Santana—he’s clearly a solid friend, and you can tell he’s been there for her.
Young Miami also finally spoke up about Diddy and all the rumors. She confirmed they’re not together anymore and even said they actually fell in love, which, honestly, surprised me.
Young Miami recently opened up about her decision to step away from Diddy, saying, “I can’t comment on the allegations because I wasn’t there at the time, and I don’t know the person involved. That wasn’t my experience. Am I still with Puff Daddy? No, I’m not. I said I would tell my truth, and here it is. It really hurt me because, in my experience, Puff was a good person. When all these things started coming out, I realized I needed to step back and focus on what’s really important—my career, my family, and myself. I had to let him deal with his situation because I couldn’t get caught up in it. We did fall in love, even though it wasn’t planned, but with everything that’s happening, I just need to take some time for me.”
Now, it’s official—Young Miami has separated from Diddy. However, she’s still somewhat involved in the controversies surrounding him. While she’s clearly trying to distance herself and reset her career, she’s not entirely innocent in the situation. She might shed a few tears, but there’s more to the story.
As for her former group, The City Girls, it’s pretty clear they’ve gone their separate ways, with both Young Miami and JT pursuing solo careers. The breakup seems to have been driven by a mix of ego and the fact that The City Girls weren’t making much money. They had creative differences, and people around them were encouraging them to go solo. Fans also contributed to the tension. In the end, Young Miami shifted her focus away from the group and towards her own solo ambitions.
JT started feeling left out when Young Miami began hanging out more with Saucy Santana, leaving her out of the picture. Even though JT wanted to keep the group together and focus on their music, Young Miami seemed more interested in building her own brand. She became so popular that people started saying, “Who cares about The City Girls anymore?” It seemed like all the attention was on Young Miami, and JT felt like she was being overlooked.
There were some fans who thought JT should go solo because they knew she could rap, and they could see she was kind of being pushed aside. But JT wasn’t really interested in doing her own thing without Karisha, which is Young Miami’s real name. The funny thing is, it was actually Karisha and Saucy Santana who encouraged JT to step out and do her own thing.
As her friend, it’s been frustrating to watch because I know how talented JT is. Karisha had her “Karisha Please” show and all these other projects, and I would be like, “JT, you’re so talented, why aren’t you doing more?” I remember when someone tried to get me to do a song without Karisha, and I refused. But Karisha didn’t mind; she was like, “You could’ve done it.” JT had a similar situation where someone asked her to do a song, and she didn’t want to do it without Young Miami. But Young Miami told her, “Girl, just do it.”
Eventually, JT realized that if she wanted to have a career, she needed to start making moves on her own, especially since Young Miami was already doing her own thing. So, she decided to go solo, and you can tell she’s much happier now. She’s really living out her dream. But I think JT’s decision to go solo might have made Young Miami a bit uneasy. Young Miami was used to being the star, even though JT is the stronger rapper. But now, things have shifted, and JT started getting more attention and features, which probably didn’t sit well with Young Miami—especially when JT got that feature with Nicki Minaj without her.
There’s been some tension between Young Miami and JT, especially after JT started getting more features. It’s kind of ironic because Young Miami was getting plenty of features without JT before, but as soon as JT landed a spot on Nicki Minaj’s “Super Freaky Girl” Queen Mix, things got weird. It bothered Young Miami so much that when JT and Cardi B had their Twitter beef, she didn’t step in to defend JT. Her attitude was basically, “Well, you didn’t include me in the Queen Mix, so that’s your issue, not mine. I wasn’t called for the song, didn’t even know it was happening—no heads-up, nothing.”
So, when the argument blew up on Twitter, Young Miami stayed out of it. She figured, “Why should I get involved? I got left out of the song; didn’t even know it existed. That’s between JT and Cardi.”
When asked how long things had been shaky between them, Young Miami admitted, “It’s been a while. We’ve been growing apart for a minute. She was out in LA, I was in Miami. She was focused on her own stuff, and every time we tried to connect, it just didn’t feel right. We weren’t going to the studio together anymore. When people called for The City Girls, it was either me or her—never both of us. It just wasn’t clicking anymore. That’s when I realized I needed to start my own thing. The group wasn’t making money or working, so I had to do something on my own.”
So, Young Miami had a lot to say, and she didn’t exactly hold back. But not everyone is happy about what she said regarding JT. A lot of people feel like she kind of threw JT under the bus. Things between them haven’t been great, especially after they had that fight on social media. Even though they’ve made up, it’s clear they’re not as close as they used to be.
Honestly, I think ego plays a big part in this. You’ve got two women who both want to be stars in their own right. JT has always wanted to be a rapper, a real rap star. Young Miami, on the other hand, isn’t really known for her rapping, but she’s always wanted to be in the spotlight and, more than anything, to make money. They both crave the attention, and while they might say things like, “You’re my sister; I can’t do this without you,” I think they each like the solo attention a lot. The trouble starts when one of them starts getting more of it than the other.
It feels like Young Miami is now going through what JT experienced a few years ago when Young Miami was the one getting all the shine and JT felt left out. Now that JT is doing her own thing as a solo artist and is slowly rising to the top, Young Miami is starting to feel sidelined. She’s definitely feeling some type of way because The City Girls used to be her fallback. But now that JT is going full force with her solo career, it seems like there’s no going back.
Honestly, I’m not upset with Young Miami for sharing her feelings. I get that not everyone’s going to agree with what she said—some people probably think she threw JT under the bus, and to be fair, she kind of did. There were parts of her story that felt a bit off, though. Like when she said no one checked on her, but JT actually mentioned that she was the first one to reach out. And then there was the whole thing about JT and Cardi B supposedly fighting over the Nicki Minaj Queen Mix, when in reality, it started because Cardi called her a lapdog out of nowhere. It seems like Young Miami made it about the Queen Mix because she was really frustrated that JT was on that remix and she wasn’t, and she wanted to get that off her chest. So, yeah, she kind of twisted things a bit, and that didn’t seem entirely fair. But I do have to give her props for being real about how she feels—it’s not easy to put yourself out there like that. I really hope things get better for her moving forward.
