NBA YoungBoy & Mariah The Scientist Are Looking In The “Rear View” On Their First Joint Single: Stream

Few artists come with the same sort of consistency as NBA YoungBoy. While he’s been sharing regular releases so far throughout 2023, few of them have seen him collaborating with other artists. He began the year with the 19-track featureless I Rest My Case, which was followed by singles like “Next” and “Demon Party,” also sans accompaniment. Just last week, however, he reunited with Nicki Minaj on “WTF,” which has already amassed upwards of 2.6 million streams on Spotify alone. The two have worked together several times in the past, on titles like “I Admit” and “What That Speed Bout!?”

This New Music Friday (April 14), the Louisana native returned with another joint effort, this one recruiting a rising female R&B star who’s best known for her romance with Young Thug. Mariah the Scientist joins NBA YoungBoy on “Rear View.” It arrived at midnight alongside a beautifully shot visual beginning with the latter reflecting on a toxic relationship with a beautiful sunset unfolding behind him.

For her part, the Atlanta native sings her lyrics while strutting across a football field in a bright purple outfit. “Hussle and fight / But you don’t wanna leave / Take a look in your eyes / I don’t know what I see,” her voice rings out. “You can’t deny / There’s some things you need and / My love is just one of those things.” As RapRadar notes, the new song is set to appear on YB’s forthcoming Don’t Try This At Home album, along with the aforementioned Minaj collab.

Quotable Lyrics:

Hussle and fight
But you don’t wanna leave
Take a look in your eyes
I don’t know what I see
You can’t deny
There’s some things you need and
My love is just one of those things

Mariah The Scientist Denied Coming For Yung Miami’s Acting On ‘BMF’

Yung Miami‘s role as Deanna Washington on Starz’s hit series BMF has everybody talking. In a recent episode, Deanna asks Demetrius Flenory (played by his real-life son, Demetrius Flenory Jr.) where her husband is, to later find out he has been murdered.

Before Deanna receives the news, she asks Demetrius, “Meech, where’s my husband?” The line has since become the subject of memes and internet jokes.

Yesterday (March 31), R&B singer Mariah The Scientist shared some words on Twitter, which some fans read as shade toward Miami’s acting.

“I feel like I could’ve said meech where is my husband,” said The Scientist.

Miami later caught wind of the tweet, which, it appears, she found confusing.

“I’m tryna figure out what this mean,” said Miami.

Fans immediately came to Miami’s defense, sending angry messages to The Scientist. The latter later took to Twitter to clarify that she was not trying to diss Miami’s acting.

“Stop trying to put words in my mouth,” she said in a Tweet, “I liked the role and the show.”

She continued, saying, “Y’all want me 2 be controversial so bad.”

The Scientist later went on Instagram live to clear the air, saying that she was not intending to start any beef.

“Why every time I tweet anything, off top, it’s a problem,” Mariah said. “It don’t matter what I say, period. I walk around all day long saying, ‘Meech, where’s my husband?’ All day, every day. I’m truly convinced y’all always gotta make some beef with me no matter what. One hundred percent. Why is that? I’m convinced y’all just don’t like me. I’m sorry to hear that.”

Mariah The Scientist Denies Dissing Yung Miami With “BMF” Quote

A simple tweet has caused Mariah The Scientist to face off against Yung Miami’s fans. The public can scrutinize anything you say or do when you’re a famous figure. In our ever-growing, social media-driven culture, online posts receive the same attention—and even the innocent can become wrapped in controversy. This is what happened to Mariah The Scientist today (March 31) when her tweet referenced Yung Miami’s appearance in BMF.

The City Girls hitmaker recently guest starred in the series, and although brief, it created conversations. The internet quickly turned Miami into a meme, and critics poured onto platforms with less-than-stellar reviews of the rapper’s acting skills. Yung Miami took it all in stride and didn’t seem bothered. However, she did notice when Mariah wrote, “I feel like I could’ve said meech where is my husband.” That was Yung Miami’s line in BMF.

Social media users quickly accused Mariah of attempting to shade Miami’s addition to the series. “I’m tryna figure out what this mean [thinking face emoj],” the “Act Up” rapper replied in a retweet. After finding her mentions flooded with reactions, Mariah returned with an update. “If I said I feel like ‘and I seen u skate, so that tells me everything I need to know about a man’ y’all would say I’m shading Lauren London like c’mon now.” She was referencing London’s role in ATL.

This explanation didn’t seem to placate the public. It also didn’t explain her initial tweet, and the public let her know. When Mariah The Scientist isn’t kicking up dust with City Girls fans, she often shares messages of support to her man, Young Thug. The incarcerated rapper began dating the singer before being arrested on RICO charges. Thugger has been behind bars awaiting trial for about a year, and it could take months before it begins. The jury process has been arduous, and Mariah is ready for Young Thug to come home. However, prosecutors allege he is the leader of a street gang and are determined to take him down. We’ll keep you updated on the case as it unfolds. In the meantime, check out Mariah The Scientist further explaining her tweet below.

Mariah The Scientist Tweets About Her Longing For Young Thug

In a turn of events, Mariah the Scientist recently took to Twitter to express her frustration with Young Thug still being in jail. The singer, whose real name is Mariah Buckles, tweeted about her heartache in a now-deleted post. She revealed how she currently feels left behind while her beau is locked up, and the long distance seems to be taking a bit of a mental toll. With her number-one supporter no longer by her side, it’s likely the musician is feeling a bit lonely.

Young Thug, whose real name is Jefferey Lamar Williams, has been in jail since May 2022. The rapper was arrested for his alleged ties to the notorious YSL gang. He is also facing another charge for an incident that occurred in May 2021. The artist was allegedly involved in a street racing episode where he was accused of driving over the speed limit without wearing a seatbelt. His trial began in January 2023. The distance has been hard on the couple, who are very attached to each other.

Mariah The Scientist Shows Brief Frustration With Her Boyfriend

Shortly after sending out her message about Thugger being in jail, Mariah the Scientist deleted it. Still, her Twitter page remains full of tweets alluding to her declining mood. She specifically expresses that she does not feel understood by the world. This is not the first time she has made tweets about Young Thug’s incarceration, however. Earlier in the year Mariah tweeted her desire for her lover to come home quickly. She has been supportive of her partner every step of the way.

Even behind bars, the So Much Fun hitmaker has not let his circumstances stop him from reciprocating his other half’s love and support. The rapper has sent balloons and even rose-petal messages to his lady. These gestures of love seem to help ease the pain that Mariah the Scientist is going through. The couple has been publicly together since 2022, and have been very vocal about their love for each other on social media. Check back in to see if Mariah will continue to tweet about Young Thug.

Lil Yachty & Mariah The Scientist Beef Over Dating Rumours

Like many others in the music industry, Mariah the Scientist didn’t always plan on becoming a singer. She came onto the scene with a bang in 2019, sharing her MASTER project including popular titles like “Beetlejuice,” “Reminders,” and “Note to Self.” In the years since, she’s given us 2021’s RY RY WORLD featuring Young Thug and Lil Baby, as well as last year’s Buckles Laboratories Presents: The Intermission four-pack EP.

Before she became known as Young Thug’s current love interest, and an R&B starlet in her own right, Mariah was a student at St. John’s University in New York. She was previously accepted at the school on a biology scholarship, hence her stage name, but ultimately dropped out to pursue a career in music. Before she was involved with the YSL head, the “Church” songstress was rumoured to be with Lil Yachty, who some think is the real reason she walked away from her post-secondary education.

Mariah’s Life Before Music

As XXL reports, earlier this weekend a tweet that brought attention back to the rumoured pair’s years-old drama appeared online. “How do you go to school to be an anesthesiologist and [end] up flunking out [because] of Lil Yachty?” the account holder asked, earning thousands of likes. In a series of since-deleted posts of his own, the “Broccoli” hitmaker spoke out on the situation. “Lol why do y’all keep trying me over this woman?” he asked. “I been [quiet] for so long but [please] stop making up this weird ass false narrative.”

He went on to call out the Scientist for staying silent as well, writing, “and the fact Mariah just let all these lies go on is weird to me. Y’all really be on d*ck about shit y’all [know] nothing about… Go touch grass.” Of course, the drama didn’t stop there. When another internet troll suggested that Yachty got a friend of the 25-year-old’s pregnant, he shut down that gossip too. “This is also just not true. Lmao, they were never friends… EVER, never met. Rarely had a full conversation. They just followed each other… [YOU] N*GGAS [ARE] WEIRD!!!!!!!!!!!”

Lil Yachty Clears His Name, The Scientist Responds

Further clearing his name in another tweet, the “Poland” artist added, “and me and Mariah wasn’t dating at the time… Again!!!!!! Only time I’ma say this. Leave me out of it,” his rant concluded. When Yachty finished speaking his truth, it was the Scientist’s turn to enter the chat. “I know a n*gga ain’t having [something to] say ’bout [something] I don’t ever speak on,” she wrote on the same app. “Miles [you] got to be dizzy, I will air [you] out on this bitch,” her since-removed response read. See it all for yourself above, and check back later for more hip-hop news updates.

A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie Taps Mariah The Scientist For “Secrets” Remix

New music is coming in hot on this good Friday. The latest release comes from Highbridge’s own A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, who teams up with Mariah The Scientist for the remix to his throwback “Secrets.” The track comes to the surprise of some, seeing he’s released not one, but two projects since the original was featured on 2020’s Artist 2.0’s deluxe version. Not for TikTok users, however, as they are responsible for it’s resurgence. According to stats on the ever-popular clock app, the song has been used over 24,000 times as of writing.

The Bronx rapper has even gone on to upload a live performance of the track a couple of days ago. One commenter wrote “So glad that this song is finally getting the love it deserves. Nonetheless, it’s safe to say the new version does not disappoint. On the “Secrets” remix, A Boogie recites the same verse chorus as its predecessor, boasting about his success and the groupies that come with it. The first track didn’t have a second verse, which is where Mariah The Scientist comes in. Young Thug’s rumored boo slides in after the second chorus with some salacious bars of her own.

TikTok Users May Be To Thank For The A Boogie With The Hoodie Remix

The “Bout Mine” vocalist makes the rules clear to her fling on the “Secrets” remake. She implies she’s ready to get down and dirty, but he must keep his mouth closed. Mariah The Scientist sings “Meet me in the back, take me through the alley / Know you want a bad girl, know you want a savage / Know that I can be that, you can’t believe that /You could be a blind man, even you could see that.” Some A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie fans aren’t fond of the R&B singer’s addition, but she seems to be taking it with grace. Mariah The Scientist—who is no stranger to backlash—has shown support for the song throughout the day on her Instagram Stories.

Quotable Lyrics

Baby, from my observations
You think I’m your lady, all of those expectations
But that just ain’t the way it goes
And I just want you out them clothes tonight
I promise to take it slow
You can even take control this time
If you can keep your mouth closed

A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie Recruited Mariah The Scientist To Make His 2020 Track ‘Secrets’ Even Steamier

In December, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie dropped his new album Me Vs. Myself featuring Roddy Ricch, Lil Durk, and Tory Lanez, after postponing its release to not compete with Drake and 21 Savage’s Her Loss. Now, he’s back with even more material.

A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie just shared a new version of “Secrets” featuring Mariah the Scientist. The track comes from his 2020 LP Artist 2.0. Her vocals are a gorgeous addition to an already great song, adding another layer of sensuality: “Meet me in the back, take me through the alley / Know you want a bad girl, know you want a savage,” she sings.

For some reason (likely due to a mistake), A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie uploaded one YouTube video in which the audio for the song was missing. The comments are overflowing with jokes that end with fire emojis. One user wrote, “This Song Is Really A Secret.” Another wrote, “Greatest song I never heard.” One quipped, “This is a certified mute classic.” Luckily, there’s another posting of the video with audio.

Listen to the new version of “Secrets” above.

A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
