JT has joined the wave of users selling their iPhones in the wake of the recent TikTok ban scare. However, JT’s asking price is far from ordinary.

In a time when access to TikTok is highly sought after, JT from the City Girls is in the news for her playful—and pricey—reaction to the app’s short-lived ban. The rapper went on social media with a wild proposal: her iPhone, which includes TikTok access, group messages, and unique photos for an astonishing $1 billion.

The buzz began when a user on X (formerly Twitter) announced they were selling their iPhone 15 Pro Max with TikTok installed for $60,000, capitalizing on the app’s scarcity after its recent ban.

JT chimed in with her own cheeky listing, writing, “Selling mine for 150k. 500,000 will include my group’s text messages. 1,000,000,000 for photos left inside non-negotiable.”

Following a brief ban of TikTok in the U.S. last weekend, a bizarre trend emerged. It has been reported that individuals are selling iPhones with TikTok pre-installed for upwards of $25,000.

As of Wednesday morning, TikTok is still missing from Apple’s App Store even though millions of users with the short-video platform already installed can still access it.

Certain iPhone users chose not to remove TikTok during its short prohibition in the U.S. Users who have the app installed on their devices can access the short-video platform that made its comeback for millions in the U.S. on Sunday and Monday.

While some users can seamlessly return to TikTok, others who either removed or never installed the app are left in uncertainty as the Apple and Google app stores in the U.S. still do not offer it.

Some people have seized on this as a money-making opportunity, selling their iPhones for thousands of dollars on eBay while the widely-used app is still missing from Apple’s App Store.

The timeline for TikTok’s return to app stores remains uncertain, even though President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to postpone the implementation of the ban. Establishing a permanent solution would necessitate Congress to repeal the legislation that originally prohibited the app, which seems improbable considering that a fractured Congress managed to enact the law with bipartisan backing in 2024.
