Young Thug’s Candy Crush Addiction Keeping Him Sane In Jail, Mariah The Scientist Says

Long distance relationships aren’t for everyone, namely due to the tricky circumstances that come with navigating such strong feelings through the distance. For Mariah the Scientist and Young Thug, things have proven to be particularly difficult through their physical separation. While the R&B starlet continues to tour across the country and prepare her new music for release, her other half has been behind bars for over a year and a half now while awaiting his YSL RICO trial.

We’ve heard occasional messages from Thugger himself, but for the most part, it’s been his loved ones giving us insight as to how the Atlanta native spends his days in jail. During a recent conversation with TMZ, The Scientist revealed that the So Much Fun hitmaker has been keeping his mind occupied, though not necessarily with writing raps or reading books. “He has an iPad and he plays Candy Crush,” the “Church” singer shared with a smile. “Every f**king day.”

Mariah the Scientist Gives an Update on Young Thug

It’s unclear what level Thug is on in the popular game right now, but internet users are speculating that he could potentially beat the entire thing should his legal proceedings continue to drag on so gradually. In the same interview, The Scientist was asked to share her thoughts on another artist’s relationship. Specifically, she complimented Sexyy Red while speaking on the Hood Hottest Princess‘ recent sex tape leak that left her feeling incredibly vulnerable in front of her millions of Instagram followers.

We anticipated that the YSL RICO trial would be slow-moving. Still, we can’t help but shake our heads at the snail-like pace of jury selection, which seems to be particularly difficult due to Young Thug’s far-reaching celebrity status. Do you think it would be more reasonable to carry out proceedings in another state, or would the results be similar elsewhere too? Share your thoughts in the comments, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Mariah The Scientist Shows No Signs Of Straying From Young Thug As Rapper Remains Behind Bars

Spending the past year and a half in jail has been trying on Young Thug’s mental health, but it’s also left a hole in the life of his girlfriend, Mariah the Scientist. The pair began spending time together romantically just months before he was arrested on RICO charges, and the YSL leader has done his best to make sure she can feel his love through the distance. Seeing as she’s a rising R&B star in her own right, Mariah likely has plenty of suitors sliding into her DMs. However, in a recent interview, the Atlanta native confirmed that she’s holding out for Thugger’s release, no matter how long it takes.

“What would you say to people who had something to say about you saying, ‘Free my baby daddy,’ or ‘Free Thug!’”? the journalist speaking with the “Church” artist asked. “I feel like, and this is in all honesty, there is nobody on planet Earth that can get between me and supporting my man,” The Scientist confidently responded. “I’m sorry, it’s just not gonna happen,” she assured any doubters out there.

Mariah the Scientist Gives An Update on Her Situation with Young Thug

Mariah then called out people on the internet for making assumptions about her and Thug, among other things, and being judgemental. “They have a lot to say, but I’m sorry to hear that you don’t understand what I got going on,” the 25-year-old continued to clap back at haters. “Maybe one day you will, but the odds are you won’t. I don’t feel the need to explain and express to somebody the love I have for somebody else… It’s not gonna change what I have going on, what people have to say.”

Unfortunately for Young Thug and Mariah the Scientist’s love life, it doesn’t look as though the So Much Fun hitmaker will be freed from jail anytime soon. Lawyers are still struggling to find the right candidates to sit on a jury, and amid that search, they’re also seeking to have YSL Polo removed from the trial due to his erratic behaviour. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Mariah The Scientist Declares Young Thug Her “Baby Daddy” During Festival Set

Mariah The Scientist was among many great artists who performed at the 2023 Outside Lands music festival in San Francisco on Friday (August 11). Moreover, her engaging set saw a highlight when she took a moment to address a more personal and pressing issue at hand. Of course, you might know the Atlanta native not just as a compelling artist, but also as Young Thug’s flame, who’s currently in prison on RICO charges related to his YSL collective. During her performance, she confirmed the extent of their relationship and expressed strong support for his freedom. Furthermore, the crowd was incredibly receptive to this, and called for a prompt prison exit along with her.

“Now, you know I got a man,” Mariah The Scientist told the large crowd before her at the Outside Lands festival. “He locked up. Free my baby daddy!” Then, the crowd erupted in a “Free Thug” chant which the R&B singer fired up and directed, which was a great sight to see. Young Thug’s court case has been one of the biggest and most complicated rap stories of the past few years, and it looks no closer to commencing. With that in mind, many want the Atlanta trap pioneer to enjoy himself and escape these conditions ahead of the real trial’s inception.

While Mariah The Scientist never publicly confirmed a romance with Thugger, their social media presence certainly made it clear. For example, they thirsted over pictures of each other in the past, regardless of whether Young Thug was behind bars or not. In addition, the 25-year-old tweeted of her longing for him while he’s in prison, lamenting the fact that he’s not by her side. Rumors flared all the way back in 2021, and it’s kind of wild to see how far they went without official confirmation from either, even though it was pretty clear-cut.

Meanwhile, just like the rest of us, there’s not much else Mariah can do but wait for case updates and support YSL from afar. Hopefully her family life and personal struggles can see some healing if she’s able to see Jeffery again. Until then, at least she has a whole fanbase behind her.

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.
