What is Yung Miami’s Net Worth?

Yung Miami is an American rapper, podcast host, actress, and media personality who has a net worth of $2 million.

Yung Miami is best known as one-half of the Miami rap duo City Girls, alongside JT. The duo broke out in 2018 after appearing on Drake’s “In My Feelings” and then became stars in their own right with songs including “Twerk,” “Act Up,” “Jobs,” “Pussy Talk,” “Twerkulator,” and “Good Love.” Known for her bold personality, Miami accent, glamorous style, and unfiltered interviews, Yung Miami later expanded beyond music with the Revolt talk show and podcast “Caresha Please.” The show helped turn her into a media personality separate from City Girls and gave her a platform to interview artists, entertainers, athletes, and reality stars. Her career has also included acting appearances, fashion partnerships, nightlife appearances, and a high-profile relationship with Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Early Life

Yung Miami was born Caresha Romeka Brownlee on February 11, 1994, in Miami, Florida. She was raised in Opa-locka, one of the neighborhoods that later helped shape the identity and sound of City Girls. Growing up, she was influenced by Southern rap, Miami bass, trap music, and the club culture of South Florida.

Before becoming famous, Brownlee built a following through social media and fashion. She sold clothing and promoted herself online, developing the outgoing public persona that later became central to her career. She was longtime friends with Jatavia Johnson, better known as JT, and the two eventually decided to form a rap duo.

City Girls

Yung Miami and JT formed City Girls in 2017. Their name came from their Miami roots, with Miami representing Opa-locka and JT representing Liberty City. The duo first gained attention with the song “Fuck Dat Nigga,” which sampled Khia’s “My Neck, My Back.” The track became popular locally and online, and City Girls soon signed with Quality Control Music.

Their debut mixtape, “Period,” was released in 2018. That same year, City Girls received a major boost when they appeared on Drake’s massive hit “In My Feelings.” Although their contribution was not originally credited in the traditional way, the song helped introduce them to a much wider audience.

City Girls released their debut studio album, “Girl Code,” in November 2018. The album included “Twerk,” featuring Cardi B, and “Act Up.” Both songs became major hits and helped define the duo’s sound: brash, explicit, funny, confident, and built for clubs and social media. “Act Up” became their signature song and reached the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100.

Success During JT’s Incarceration

One of the unusual aspects of City Girls’ rise was that much of their early success happened while JT was serving time in prison for credit card fraud. During that period, Yung Miami carried much of the public-facing work for the group. She promoted the music, appeared in videos, performed when possible, and kept the City Girls brand alive while fans waited for JT’s release.

Her ability to maintain momentum during that difficult stretch became an important part of the duo’s story. By the time JT returned, City Girls had already become one of the most recognizable female rap acts of the late 2010s.

Later Music and Solo Work

City Girls released their second studio album, “City on Lock,” in 2020. The album featured songs including “Jobs” and “Pussy Talk,” the latter featuring Doja Cat. In 2021, the duo released “Twerkulator,” which became a viral hit helped by TikTok and dance culture.

In 2022, City Girls released “Good Love” with Usher. Their third album, “RAW,” followed in 2023. Although the album included collaborations with artists such as Usher, Kim Petras, Lil Durk, Juicy J, and Muni Long, it did not perform as strongly as their earlier work.

By 2024, Yung Miami and JT had publicly acknowledged that City Girls were no longer functioning the way they once had. The two shifted toward solo careers, with JT focusing more heavily on music and Yung Miami building her identity as an entertainer, podcast host, and media personality. Yung Miami has also released solo music, including “Rap Freaks,” and has appeared on tracks with other artists.

Yung Miami’s biggest post-City Girls platform has been “Caresha Please,” her talk show and podcast on Revolt. The show premiered in 2022 and quickly attracted attention because of Miami’s direct interviewing style, celebrity guests, and willingness to ask blunt personal questions.

Guests on “Caresha Please” have included Megan Thee Stallion, Kevin Gates, Summer Walker, Trina, Saucy Santana, Rick Ross, Mariah the Scientist, Flo Milli, and others. The show won the BET Hip Hop Award for Best Hip Hop Platform, further establishing Yung Miami as more than a rapper.

“Caresha Please” also became the place where she addressed major personal and professional controversies, including her relationship with Sean Combs, her friendship and business relationship with JT, and the future of City Girls.

Acting and Television

Yung Miami has also branched into acting and television appearances. She appeared in the 2023 Netflix film “You People” and had a role on the Starz crime drama “BMF.” She was also involved with the HBO Max series “Rap Sh!t” as a co-executive producer, along with JT.

These credits have helped position her as a broader entertainment personality rather than only a recording artist. Her income comes from a mix of music royalties, performances, hosting, podcasting, appearances, brand work, and social media.

Personal Life

Yung Miami is a mother of two children. Her son was born in 2013. Her daughter, Summer, was born in 2019, and her father is producer Southside. In 2020, Jai Wiggins, the father of Yung Miami’s son, was killed in a shooting. She has spoken publicly about grief, motherhood, and the pressure of balancing family life with fame.

Yung Miami was also known for her relationship with Sean “Diddy” Combs, which began publicly in the early 2020s and later ended. Their relationship received renewed scrutiny after Combs became the subject of criminal charges, civil lawsuits, and intense media coverage. Yung Miami addressed the relationship and surrounding controversy on “Caresha Please,” saying that her experience with Combs was not abusive and that she was focused on her children, career, and growth.
