Young Thug and Mariah the Scientist’s romance has come to an unexpected end. During a recent livestream with Adin Ross, the Atlanta rapper opened up about the breakup, revealing that it wasn’t his decision to make.
The couple had been linked romantically since 2021, and many fans regarded them as one of the more stable pairs in the hip-hop scene. But now, it seems like their fairytale has come to a close.
“I got broke up with,” Thug admitted, confirming that Mariah was the one who called it quits. Thug made it clear how he feels about the situation. “I still got a girl,” he mentioned, but added, “She probably don’t got a boyfriend, but I got a girlfriend.” This statement left fans wondering if he was throwing shade at Mariah or if he was just being straightforward.
The timing of this revelation has stirred up quite a bit of drama. Just a few weeks ago, a leaked jail phone call surfaced, in which Thug admitted to cheating on Mariah the day before his YSL RICO arrest in 2022. This revelation had many fans questioning their relationship, and it raises the possibility that this confession may have influenced Mariah’s decision to leave.
While their romantic connection may have ended, their artistic collaboration continues. Mariah’s voice appears twice on Thug’s latest album, UY SCUTI. One track, “Dreams Rarely Do Come True,” has a somber vibe that many fans associate with their breakup, leading some to speculate that it tells the story of what Mariah hasn’t yet shared publicly.
Mariah was more than just a girlfriend while Thug was incarcerated; she was a vital support system for him. In previous interviews, Thug expressed how their daily phone conversations helped him cope during his more than two years in prison. “Talking to Mariah every day on the phone, all those conversations, all that was keeping me alive,” he said.
