30-year-old JT of City Girls fame was recorded throwing her phone at her boyfriend Lil Uzi Vert, not once but twice, all while yelling expletives. This happened because she allegedly suspected Vert of openly flirting with Ice Spice, a fellow rapper.

27-year-old Lil Uzi Vert (who opened the ceremony with his hit single, I Just Wanna Rock) and 23-year-old Ice Spice both performed at the awards function before the fight took place.
