She was born in Miami, Florida and grew up in Opa-Locka. She attended school in Miami Gardens, Florida, and this is where she met JT. The two were introduced to one another through mutual friends.
3. Her partner was arrested
Not all of Yung Miami’s fans are aware of this fact. Her partner in City Girls was found guilty of credit card fraud in 2002. JT was looking at a ten-year sentence. Instead of facing the full consequences, she accepted a plea deal offered by the prosecuting attorney, and instead of a decade in prison, she was handed down a lesser sentence of just 24 months. This put both of their careers as a duo on hold. JT was released from federal custody in 2020. The duo has gone on to make more hits, including their chart-topping song with Usher.

Yung Miami has not had an easy life. She grew up in a rough neighborhood and had a lot of heartbreak to endure. It was really difficult when her partner JT was sentenced to prison, and the two had to put their career goals on hold, but this wasn’t the worst. Her mother, Keenya Young, was convicted of a crime in 2009. The charges were serious as Young was shoplifting and then drove away in a car that ended up crashing into another car, causing the death of the 40-year-old in the other vehicle. Keenya Young was released after five years in prison in 2021.
5. She had a protection order against her ex
Caresha Brownlee petitioned the court for a temporary restraining order to protect her from her ex-boyfriend Jai Wiggins.

The protection order was violated when Yung Miami was pulled from a car and punched in the face several times. The courts extended the protection order for a long term banning him from coming within 500 yards of the rapper. Jai Wiggins was shot and killed in 2020.
6. She doesn’t want her son to be gay
We recently discovered that Yung Miami has declared that she does not want her son to be gay. She further stated that she would beat him if he were. After receiving backlash about the statement that came across as homophobic, she did write somewhat of a detraction. She explained that she wasn’t speaking out against gay people but was saying that she didn’t want her son to be gay, but she didn’t explain her position clearly beyond that.
