Drake Says He Can’t Wait For Young Thug To Drop New Music & Welcomes Slime Home

December 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake acknowledges love for Young Thug and can’t wait for new music from Atlanta artists during the DRIZZMAS livestream with Adin Ross on Thursday night (Dec. 26). Drizzy expressed his excitement for Thug’s forthcoming music when asked by Ross while giving away gifts. Young Thug was recently released from two-year detainment last month after accepting a plea deal in a RICO case. “I can’t wait for new Young Thug music,” said Drake in the first hour of the livestream. “Welcome home, Thug.”

It is rumored that the 6 God gave Thug a million dollars after his release from jail. Drizzy appeared on Young Thug’s latest album, Business is Business, released in June. Before being released from Fulton County, Young Thug acknowledged Drake on X, formerly Twitter, asking for a truce between him and Future. Future would acknowledge Thug’s request with a repost. Future spoke on his beef with Drizzy in November’s GQ article.

Drake Welcomes Home Young Thug & Can’t-Wait For New Music

In his latest livestream, Drake had a super fun contest with tons of awesome prizes, like trips to see him perform in Australia, cash, cars, and even dream vacations, plus a signed photo. He kicked things off by reading the personal stories of the winners before announcing who won what. After that, he gave the winners a call to let them know about their prizes. There was a funny moment when Drake felt he looked like MMA legend Conor McGregor while watching a replay of the stream. When asked about his favorite UFC fighter, he made it clear he’s a huge fan of McGregor. On top of all that, Drake also teased his new cologne that’s coming soon.

Presented by Stake, the livestream promotes Drake’s upcoming Australian tour, which is set to begin in February. Tickets for the Anita Win Max Tour are available now. Drake expressed that his first visit to Australia made him realize how expansive the world truly is. He had previously announced the tour during a guest appearance on xQc’s livestream in November. Additionally, Adin Ross has announced plans to return to streaming next week after stepping away from Kick indefinitely over the summer

Young Thug & Mariah The Scientist Allegedly Spotted Skiing Amid Leaked Jail Call Drama

December 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

A lot of fans are currently giving Young Thug and Mariah The Scientist relationship advice following an unfortunate jail call leak. To sum things up, Devin Haney’s partner Leena Sayed (who was single back then) had a call with Thugger in which she seemed to profess her love and in which he told her to move on, which sparked a lot of cheating rumors concerning Mariah The Scientist. He addressed the whole situation on Twitter by downplaying any claims and apologizing to Mariah for the hassle, and it seems like things are actually good. Moreover, fans allegedly spotted the couple on a skiing trip in Big Bear, California.

Furthermore, we say “allegedly” because, as you can see in the Instagram post down below, Young Thug and Mariah The Scientist are all bundled up and barely recognizable, so who knows if this is just a big Internet firestorm? Either way, given Mariah’s silence on the matter and Thug’s apologies, maybe there is reason to believe that everything’s good between them. Then again, these signs could also point to trouble in paradise.

In any case, fans want to know what’s going on and continue to make jokes about the Young Thug and Mariah The Scientist situation online. While cheating rumors and speculative criticism emerged in droves during his prison stint, it seems like this took on an even more concrete shape. It’s all quite unfortunate regardless of whether or not these cheating accusations are true, as they both probably looked forward to spending quality time together after the YSL RICO case. With all the social media wildness around them, it likely makes it that much harder to tune the noise out. Skiing could certainly do the trick.

As such, if Young Thug and Mariah The Scientist are watching this all unfold together from a snowy mountaintop, then we hope they have a great time and work out what they want and what their boundaries are, regardless of any cheating rumors. The Atlanta rapper has a lot to celebrate these days, actually, as he finally released his first two Slime Season mixtapes on streaming services. But other priorities rank higher amid love and war.

Young Thug Spreads Christmas Cheer By Dropping “Slime Season 1 & 2” On Streaming

December 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Merry Christmas to Young Thug fans, who got a couple of very special gifts this year thanks to the streaming release of his Slime Season and Slime Season 2 mixtapes. These two projects, released about a month and a half away from each other, represent arguably Thugger’s most iconic mixtape series and hold a lot of fan favorite hits. Considering all that he’s been through over the past two and a half years with the YSL RICO case, celebrating this with fans must feel like a real treat.

However, Young Thug faces some other controversial headlines these days regarding his prison stay, specifically some scandalous cheating rumors based on a leaked prison call with Devin Haney’s baby mama Leena Sayed. This caused an uproar during the holiday season not just because of the gossip fuel that this represents, but the backlash to how a call like this could leak in the first place. It seems like Thug’s boo Mariah The Scientist is not happy about this at all, but we’ll see what the couple says on the matter in the near future.

Meanwhile, Young Thug is apparently hard at work on new music, so we might get new gems sooner than expected. Regardless, we have the first two Slime Seasons to enjoy and revisit in the meantime, which could introduce a whole new generation of rap listeners to these 2015 releases. There are even a few changes here and there that might put off OG fans, but nevertheless, it’s a great and nostalgic moment to treasure.

Young Thug’s 2015 Mixtape “Slim Season 2” Arrives On Streaming Platforms

December 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Young Thug’s Slime Season 2 has officially landed on digital streaming platforms. The 22-track collection opens with the electrifying “Big Racks,” featuring Lil Uzi Vert, and transitions into the viral anthem “Thief in the Night,” a collaboration with the late Trouble. Other standout tracks include “Hey, I,” “Pull Up on a Kid” with Yak Gotti, “Raw (Might Just),” and the emotionally charged “Never Made Love,” marking one of the final collaborations between Young Thug and Rich Homie Quan.

Slime Season 2 boasts contributions from Birdman and Shad da God. The production features Metro Boomin, Southside, Supah Mario, and TM88. In 2015, Spin‘s Paul Thompson described the second installment: “Continues to give context and direction as to the rapper’s wealth of unorganized material. This time, it’s constructed with more precision, playing out as one long crescendo.”

Young Thug Drops Anticipated “Slime Season 2” On DSPs

The mixtape follows news Thug is creating new music. In November, Dora Williams, Young Thug’s sister, informed fans: “My brother is working hard on new music. I promise you won’t be disappointed.” Accepting a plea deal after two years of incarceration, Young Thug faced personal losses. In Fulton County, he sustained the death of four loved ones, including the passing of his sister in 2023. Thug accepted a deal that included 15 years probation and banishment from Metro Atlanta. The rap star made a heartfelt apology to the judge and families involved in the RICO trial after the ruling.

The anticipated reissue includes vinyl pre-orders for all three installments in the series. The exclusive bundle features a custom box, posters, and cards, creating a nostalgic experience for die-hard supporters. Young Thug will feature on Lil Baby’s upcoming album, WHAM (Who Hard As Me), set to drop on Jan. 3, 2025. Thug has been in the studio with T.I., Future, Travis Scott, and Metro Boomin. This week, Thug addressed a leaked jail conversation that included Boxing star Devin Haney’s wife Leena Sayed. Other leaks included Thug talking about Diddy’s assault on Cassie with Mariah The Scientist.

Young Thug Apologizes To Mariah The Scientist Over Leaked Prison Calls

December 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Young Thug was dragged into an unexpected controversy on December 23. A phone call between the rapper and Instagram model Leena Sayed leaked online from 2022. The call sees Sayed voice her desire to be with Young Thug, but the rapper told her to move on. Since Thug was dating Mariah the Scientist at the time, the prison exchange is a bit awkward. Young Thug and Leena Sayed have both tried to provide clarity regarding the situation via social media, but it hasn’t quelled the speculation. And Thug seems to know it.

The rapper took to Twitter on Christmas Eve to apologize to his girlfriend. He didn’t mention Mariah the Scientist by name, but it was obvious who he was addressing. “Sorry to my baby for all this bullsh*t on the internet,” Thug tweeted. “Love u baby and f*ck em all we know what’s up with us!” The rapper had more to say on the matter after hitting send. He referred to Mariah the Scientist as his twin, and claimed that he loves the singer more than anything. “I love yo game more than life mommy..,” he added. Thug’s apologetic stance makes sense given the leaked calls that have surfaced.

Young Thug Confirms He “Loves” Mariah The Scientist

Sorry to my baby for all this bullshit on the internet. I love u baby and fuck em all we know what’s up with us!

— Young Thug ひ (@youngthug) December 25, 2024

AySayTwin..

— Young Thug ひ (@youngthug) December 25, 2024

I love yo game more than life mommy..

— Young Thug ひ (@youngthug) December 25, 2024

In addition to the Leena Sayed call, another Young Thug conversation surfaced during the holidays. The call saw Young Thug brag to a friend about talking to ten different women a day. “For the most part, I ain’t even been calling no other girls,” he told a friend. “I ain’t call no other girls in like a week. And I usually call at least 10 other girls when I get on the phone just to kill time.” Young Thug also claimed Mariah the Scientist can sometimes come off as though she cares “too much” about him.

“[She loves me] too much,” Young Thug asserted. “Sometimes too much. [It scares me how much] because it’s like man if I do something, if I smack something or something like that, you’d probably be devastated.” The rapper previously issued a statement in which he denied being romantically involved with Leena Sayed, but their call does not look good when paired with the rapper’s other comments. We are curious to see if Mariah the Scientist will ever break her silence on the matter.

Devin Haney Breaks IG Silence After Leena Sayed And Young Thug Drama

December 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s been a messy 36 hours for Leena Sayed and Young Thug. A jail phone call from 2022 has leaked online, in which Sayed proclaims that she only has feelings for Thug. The rapper was dating Mariah the Scientist at the time. Leena Sayed, meanwhile, would go on to have a child with boxer Devin Haney. The duo involved in the call have taken steps to distance themselves from the leaked exchange. But rumors have continued to gain traction online. Devin Haney didn’t initially respond to the conversation involving the mother of his child. He did, however, post on Instagram a day later.

The boxer hopped on social media on Christmas Eve. He posted a photo of himself laying on a bed and eating an apple. Two designer bags are placed in front of him. It’s a photo designed to make its subject look unbothered. Devin Haney has been a talking point for Leena Sayed over the last day, so the desire to appear unfazed makes sense. Sayed claimed that she is totally loyal to her baby daddy, and had not met him when she had the 2022 call with Young Thug. “That video was before I met my bd,” Sayed wrote on her Instagram Stories. “I would never talk to Thug or any other man.”

The Instagram model also swore that she remains faithful to Devin Haney despite the jail call. She also refuted the notion that she was a “twin” of Young Thug’s a few years back. Lol I’m nobody’s twin,” the Instagram model explained. “I’m 100% down for my baby daddy with whatever he do and whoever else he f*ck with… That’s why y’all mad.” Devin Haney and Leena Sayed are confirmed to be together, based on the latter’s social media comments. The exact nature of their relationship, however, has remained a mystery to the public.

Devin Haney confirmed via Twitter that he is expecting his first child with Sayed in January 2025. This lines up, as Sayed referred to the pro boxer as her “baby daddy.” There’s been widespread speculation, however, as to whether the couple are married. Several outlets broke the news of the Sayed and Young Thug by referring to the former as Devin Haney’s wife. Neither party have gone on record to confirm they are married, though. If anything, the “baby daddy” moniker suggests they’ve yet to tie the knot.

Leena Sayed Denies Being Young Thug’s “Twin” After Leaked Jail Call

December 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Leena Sayed and Young Thug became trending topics on Monday, December 23. The two were linked through a leaked jail call dating back to 2022. Sayed became visibly emotional when Thugger told her to move on and find someone else. The rapper’s feelings on the matter have sparked widespread debate. Some have theorized that he was also emotional, while others claimed he was trying to stifle laughter over the IG model’s tears. Either way, Leena Sayed and Young Thug have tried to distance themselves from their 2022 call.

Leena Sayed and the rapper issued statements via social media on Monday. The former claimed that had yet to meet her current boyfriend, professional boxer Devin Haney, when the phone call took place. “That video was before I met my bd,” Sayed wrote on her Instagram Stories. “I would never talk to Thug or any other man.” The speculation as to whether Sayed and Thug were romantically involved, however, gained traction among fans. Many theorized that the two were carrying out an affair while Young Thug was with Mariah the Scientist. Perhaps spurred by these theories, Leena Sayed issued another statement via Insta on Tuesday.

Leena Sayed Claims She’d “Never” Talk To Young Thug

Sayed claimed that she was never Young Thug’s “twin” in a romantic sense. She also restated her love for Devin Haney, with whom she shares a child. “Lol I’m nobody’s twin,” the Instagram model asserted. “I’m 100% down for my baby daddy with whatever he do and whoever else he f*ck with.” Leena Sayed went on to suggest that those who have been criticizing her are merely jealous of her bond with the pro boxer. “That’s why y’all mad,” she posited. Leena Sayed’s decision to refute the “twin” association does feel like a direct response to Young Thug’s social media comments.

The rapper claimed that he was never romantically involved with Leena Sayed. He also made some crass remarks about being able to have her anytime he pleased. Even today. “I can have that lil sh*t right now if I wanted it,” Thugger tweeted. “But she been pushing the p harder then n*gas lol that’s the twin… I got who I want.” The rapper also claimed that he did not have feelings for Sayed in any capacity, romantic or otherwise. “I don’t know y she spoke on loving other people or anything else cause ain giving no f*ck bout no hes or n**gas,” he concluded.

Young Thug Admits To Talking To 10 Women Per Day In Jail, Claimed Mariah The Scientist Loved Him “Too Much”

December 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Young Thug has been victimized by a jail call leak conducted by Law & Crime. In fact, many are upset with the crime news outlet, stating that they should not have made these calls public. However, the damage has been done, and some viral clips are now circulating the internet. Of course, in one of these calls, Thugger is talking to Leena Sayed, who is now with Devin Haney. Overall, this caused a massive stir on social media, and fans could not believe what they were witnessing.

In another clip, Thugger was talking to his girlfriend Mariah The Scientist, who held him down the entire time he was locked up. This particular moment showcased Mariah filling in Thug to what happened between Diddy and Cassie. Now, however, a new clip is making the rounds and we are not too sure Mariah The Scientist is going to appreciate what is being said here. As you will hear, Thugger claims to be talking to 10 women per day in prison so that he can pass the time.

Pray for Mariah, The Scientist

Moreover, he notes that of all of the women he is talking to, Mariah is the one that he likes the most. Although he then follows this up by saying that she loves him “too much.” He does claim to love her too, but the words “too much” may cut a little bit deep here. Either way, there is no doubt that his current girlfriend probably feels away about all of this coming to light. Of course, Thugger probably never thought such videos would ever be made public, which is another conversation entirely.

Hopefully, the two are able to work out any issues that may arise from what was said in these clips. Although the internet certainly has a lot of thoughts, and this could become a Travis Hunter-Leanna Lenee situation, very fast. Only time will tell what the fallout is from all of this mess.

Young Thug Accused Of Faking His Emotions During Viral Jail Call With Leena Sayed

December 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Young Thug is currently going viral on social media and it is not for the best of reasons. Overall, fans were left stunned last night as Law & Crime released videos of Thugger’s jail calls. Some of them were with the likes of Mariah The Scientist, which makes a whole lot of sense given their relationship. However, many were confused as one of these calls was with Leena Sayed, the girlfriend of boxer Devin Haney. In the video, Sayed was crying profusely and even exclaimed her love for the incarcerated artist.

Of course, this brought up some serious cheating allegations given the fact that Young Thug and Mariah The Scientist were supposed to be together at the time. Young Thug has since responded to the video, claiming that it was nothing serious. Meanwhile, Sayed has noted that at the time of the call, she had not yet met Haney. However, the embarrassment of the clip has still got to sting. Interestingly enough, there is one moment in the video where Young Thug wipes at his eyes, and this particular action is being called into question.

Young Thug Speaks Out

If you watch the video, which is now plastered all over Twitter, it seems almost apparent that there are no actual tears coming out of Thug’s face. This has led to countless reactions on social media, with various users accusing the artist of faking his emotions and manipulating Sayed. However, once again, this is social media conjecture. Having said that, Thug’s tweet about the situation showcases just how little he cares about all of this.

Only time will tell what happens with this, going forward. Devin Haney and Mariah The Scientist are the true aggrieved parties here, and they have yet to say anything. Meanwhile, the internet is currently urging Mariah to break up with her man. Overall, it’s just not the situation you want to deal with before Christmas.

Mariah The Scientist Tells Young Thug Shocking Diddy Stories In Leaked Prison Call

December 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Young Thug jail calls are leaking like songs these days. The rapper was the victim of two leaks on December 23. The second involved him and longtime girlfriend Mariah the Scientist. Thug was behind bars when the Diddy scandals broke, and was therefore unaware of most of them. The jail call that has made its way online sees Mariah the Scientist break down some of the harrowing Diddy allegations to her boyfriend. Thugger couldn’t believe it.

Mariah the Scientist immediately delves into the infamous video in which Diddy physically attacks Cassie in a hotel lobby. “It’s not just like a wrestle,” she explained. “He beat her up, for sure.” The singer goes on to recount the whole incident, and how Diddy chased after Cassie wearing only a towel. Mariah starts to giggle while emulating the way the Bad Boy mogul was running. “I’m not laughing, it’s not funny,” Mariah asserted. Young Thug is visibly taken aback by what Diddy did. “That n**ga tripping,” he remarked. The rapper asked if it was Diddy on the security footage, and Mariah the Scientist did not hesitate. “Definitely him,” she responded. “For sure, him.”

Mariah The Scientist Said Diddy Was On “Some Other Sh*t”

Mariah the Scientist went on to recount tons of other Diddy allegations regarding Cassie and the mother of Diddy’s children, Kim Porter. She relayed a rumor that Diddy tried to make Porter eat Cassie’s tampon, which drew a very puzzled look from Young Thug. “He on some other sh*t,” Mariah asserted. “If he did that he on some other sh*t.” Mariah also noted told Thug that the public was skeptical of Cassie’s claims of physical and emotional abuse until the hotel video was released.

The jail conversation between Mariah the Scientist and Young Thug is radically different than the other jail call that was leaked on Monday. The first involved the rapper and an Instagram model named Leena Sayed. Young Thug can he seen telling Sayed to move on from him and find love with someone else, and Sayed broke down in tears. She claimed that she didn’t want anyone but Thug. Both parties have issued statements claiming they were not romantically involved, however. Thug went as far as to say that there is only one person for him, and it’s Mariah the Scientist.
