JT Chimes In On Phoenix Suns’ Owner Robert Sarver’s 1-Year Suspension Due To His Use Of The ‘N-Word’: I Think That He Should Be Suspended Forever

JT checked ranting on a news clip off her bucket list after she admitted on Twitter this morning (Sept 14.) that it’s something she always wanted to do. 

In a recent Arizona local news interview on Tuesday (Sept. 13), City Girls’ rap star JT was questioned about her thoughts on Phoenix Suns’ Robert Sarver’s one-year suspension following his use of the ‘N-word.’ JT said: 

“I think that he should be suspended forever.”

The 29-year-old, born Jatavia Shakara Johnson, added:

“You don’t do that like and one year is like so short.”

Fans questioned why the rapper was upset over the incident. She stated that it was in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. JT tweeted:

“Fr, BLM don’t play.”

According to reports, Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver was hit with a massive penalty following an investigation into alleged workplace misconduct. Robert Sarver was banned from the basketball league for one season and is mandated to pay a $10 million fine. The NBA’s investigation included interviewing 320 current and past Suns employees. Following the investigation, it was revealed that Sarver used the ‘N-word’ at least five times “when recounting the statement of others.” NBA commissioner Adam Silver said in a statement:

“The statements and conduct described in the findings of the independent investigation are troubling and disappointing.” 

Adam Silver continued:

“We believe the outcome is the right one, taking into account all the facts, circumstances and context brought to light by the comprehensive investigation of this 18-year period and our commitment to upholding proper standards in NBA workplaces.”

Adam Silver added:

“I am hopeful that the NBA community will use this opportunity to reflect on what this great game means to people everywhere and the values of equality, respect and inclusion that it strives to represent. Regardless of position, power or intent, we all need to recognize the corrosive and hurtful impact of racially insensitive and demeaning language and behavior.”

Silver shared:

“On behalf of the entire NBA, I apologize to all of those impacted by the misconduct outlined in the investigators’ report. We must do better.”
