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.

Young Thug And Leena Sayed Speak Out Following Leaked Jail Call Controversy

December 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Young Thug and Leena Sayed became the talk of the hip hop world on December 23. A phone conversation between the rapper and Instagram model leaked online. A conversation that took place in 2022, when Young Thug was behind bars. The rapper seemingly urges Sayed to move on and find love with someone else, but she breaks down and claims that she only wants him. Sayed has since gone on to have a child with boxer Devin Haney. Young Thug, meanwhile is dating Mariah the Scientist, who he was also seeing at the time of the phone call. Both Thug and Sayed have tried to clear the air following the leaked call.

Young Thug took to Twitter to claim that he was never romantic with Leena Sayed. The rapper says that they were merely friends, caught up in an emotional moment. “Man me and twin was talking bout some whole other serious sh*t,” he tweeted. “I don’t know y she spoke on loving other people or anything else cause ain giving no f*ck bout no h*es or n**gas.” Young Thug issued a second tweet in which he claimed that he could have had Sayed if he wanted. He doesn’t, though, since he’s with Mariah the Scientist. “I’m the capital P lol that’s my twin and nothing else,” he said in reference to Mariah.

Young Thug And Leena Sayed Denied Romance Allegations

Man me and twin was talking bout some whole other serious shit, I don’t know y she spoke on loving other people or anything else cause ain giving no fuck bout no hoes or niggas I’m the capital P lol that’s my twin and nothing else. Never have never will lol

I can have that lil shit right now if I wanted it, but she been pushing the p harder then niggas lol that’s the twin…I got who I want

— Young Thug ひ (@youngthug) December 23, 2024

“Never have never will lol,” Thug added, alluding to Leena Sayed. “I can have that lil sh*t right now if I wanted it. But she been pushing the p harder then n**gas lol that’s the twin… I got who I want.” Fans were taken aback by the leaked jail call, and were similarly shocked by Young Thug’s callous behavior towards Sayed. Some felt the rapper was telling the truth, while others felt he was trying to cover up his potentially unfaithful actions. Leena Sayed issued a response of her own via Instagram. The model said that her relationship with Young Thug transpired before she met Devin Haney.

“That video was before I met my bd,” Sayed said regarding Haney. “I would never talk to Thug or any other man.” Young Thug and Sayed appear to be on the same page when it comes to nothing serious having gone down between them. It is tough to deny how emotionally charged the leaked jail call is, however. Fans will have to determine for themselves whether Thug and the Instagram model are being truthful, or simply trying to save face in light of their current relationships.

Young Thug Tells Devin Haney’s Girlfriend Leena Sayed To “Move On” In Leaked Jail Call

December 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Young Thug may be a free man, but information about his time behind bars is still being released. A jail conversation between the rapper and Instagram model Leena Sayed made the rounds on December 23. The conversation dates back to 2022, and sees Thug urge the Instagram model to “move on” from him. It’s an emotional exchange, and one that’s a bit awkward to view through a 2024 lens. Young Thug and Leena Sayed are both in long term relationships. The latter even has a child with pro boxer Devin Haney.

The conversation spans roughly eight minutes. Young Thug can clearly be seen struggling to find the right words to communicate his thoughts to Leena Sayed. He ultimately suggests that she go on and “find love” with someone else, given how complicated his legal situation was at the time. Sayed didn’t want to be with anything else however, and she made this very clear. “I don’t like anyone… I want you,” she says while tearing up. Young Thug can also be seen getting emotional, looking away from the lens and wiping his face. The conversation is rough viewing, especially considering that the rapper and the model did eventually go their separate ways.

Young Thug has been in a high profile relationship with Mariah the Scientist since 2021. The start of their romance seemingly overlaps with the leaked jail call, despite the fact that Mariah supporting Thug during his trial. The latter wore a hoodie that read, “I love Mariah” in court in response. Mariah also celebrated Thug’s release during a concert. “I just wanna thank God for the day, I wanna thank you for life, light, and love,” she explained to the audience. “I wanna thank you for out family and friends, I wanna thank you for Jeff and our relationship.”

Young Thug responded to the leaked phone conversation by refuting the romance rumors. He claimed that he was merely friends with Leena Sayed, and not romantically involved. He conceded that he could have had Sayed if he wanted, but that Mariah the Scientist is the woman for him. “She been pushing the p harder then n**gas lol that’s the twin,” the rapper asserted. “I got who I want.”

December 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Young Thug secures a big win after a three-long RICO battle that landed him banished from Metro Atlanta and 15 years probation. Thug was awarded $1.6 million against 22 businesses, the majority in China, for selling “knock-off” versions of his popular Sp5der clothing brand. Each business in the lawsuit is liable for $75,000 in payment. Information about the lawsuit(s) is scarce outside of the ruling.

The Sp5der clothing brand received huge popularity during Thug’s RICO trial. The rap star frequently wore items from the brand that eventually went viral. Drake, Lil Baby, and Mariah The Scientist were among the many celebrities who supported the clothing brand during the trial. Young Thug accepted a plea deal and pled guilty to charges in October.

Now that Young Thug is a free man, fans are eagerly anticipating his next musical chapter. While no official announcements have been made, it’s clear that he’s diving headfirst into creating new music. In a recent interview, producers Southside and Wheezy revealed that Thugger has been in the studio alongside Travis Scott, Lil Baby, and Future, working tirelessly on collaborations. According to them, the group has been relentlessly crafting tracks, channeling their collective talent into what promises to be some of the most exciting music of the year.

For Young Thug, these sessions mark a significant comeback. But the excitement extends to the other artists as well. Lil Baby, for instance, has two highly anticipated albums slated for 2025. As Young Thug reclaims his place in the spotlight, the anticipation for his return feels monumental. This moment is shaping up to be not just a celebration of his artistry but a defining chapter for the entire trap scene. Fans are ready—and the music can’t come soon enough.

Young Thug, Travis Scott, Future & Lil Baby Still “Locked In” The Studio Making “The Best Music”

December 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Now that Young Thug is a free man, fans wonder when he will drop new music. While we don’t know anything for sure just yet, it seems like he’s very hard at work, as Southside and Wheezy recently spoke in an interview on how they, Thugger, Travis Scott, Lil Baby, and Future are working together and cooking up collabs nonstop these days. Fans learned that they hit the studio earlier in November, and it seems like they haven’t left.

“It was like one of them nights where all the homies under one roof in one room,” Wheezy remarked. “Just Supreme Team, like, real deal superheroes. We had Trav, we got Pluto, Wham… And the one and only, King Spider. Under one roof, man, we just making the best music of our time. Like I said at the beginning of the video, like, real deal superhero group, super producers. We just locked in the studio doing, like, 20 songs a night. Like, real deal. Not even exaggerating. […] Yeah, and then the way this s**t going, you know, Free Thugger, man, he out. Thug free, it’s just like, that… It just was one of them nights, bro. And we’ve been doing it three nights in a row, that’s what’s so crazy. We getting up doing this s**t.”

Wheezy & Southside On Young Thug & Company’s “Locked In” Status

Of course, this is very exciting for Young Thug’s comeback in particular, but we’re sure that the other artists involved got plenty of sauce. Lil Baby has not one, but two albums coming up in 2025, whereas Future proved that he can pull out a dominant year whenever with his triple threat 2024. As for Travis Scott, he’s teased new music as well, but we don’t have a specific timeline and we know that his releases can feel more like events.

With all this in mind, trap fans can’t wait to hear what Young Thug, Travis Scott, Future, and Lil Baby cooked up with the help of Wheezy, Southside, and others. There’s a lot of pressure and expectation for some real-deal bangers, but we’ll see what the direction sounds like. Either way, it will surely be a very celebratory moment.

Lil Baby Reveals Tracklist And Features For Upcoming “WHAM” Album

December 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Baby is getting a head start on 2025. The rapper has confirmed that he plans to drop two albums in the first two months of the year. The first album, WHAM, has been described by Lil Baby as more upbeat and aggressive in sound. It’s also slated to come out first, with Dominique dropping at some point during February. The rapper decided to give fans an early Christmas present on December 20, though, when he dropped the album cover for WHAM and the tracklist. Both suggest we have a great record coming in the near future.

The album cover for WHAM is surprisingly minimal. Lil Baby is barely recognizable laid against a black backdrop. His jewelry helps to distinguish his outline, as his chains and rings pop amidst the darkness. The album’s title is etched across Lil Baby’s face. It’s a striking visual, and one that feels more somber and concise that some of his previous releases. Then there’s the feature list. Lil Baby has worked with some of the biggest names in music, but he decided to keep the features largely hip hop based on the new album. WHAM only has six features. All of them are cause for excitement, though.

Lil Baby’s WHAM Is Loaded With Superstar Features

Travis Scott, 21 Savage and Future are set to appear on the album. Lil Baby has worked with all three of these artists in the past, and the results have been excellent. Scott, Savage, and Future all bring different vibes to the table, though, so we’re excited to see how Lil Baby’s sound meshes with theirs. GloRilla and Rod Wave are also going to drop by for guest verses on the upcoming album. Lil Baby hasn’t worked with GloRilla before, but her and Wave have broken out in a major way in 2024. There was also rumors of Baby and Glo being romantically linked, but both have denied said rumors. Hopefully we get chemistry on their song, “Redbone.”

The most exciting feature listed on WHAM, however, is Young Thug. The YSL boss is freed about a very lengthy criminal trial. Fans have been waiting to see Lil Baby and Thugger reunite for quite some time, so all eyes will be on their WHAM collaboration. The star-studded album is set for release on January 3.

Lil Baby Claims He Doesn’t Work With “Snitch” Rappers Amidst Gunna Tension

December 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Baby and Gunna used to be a musical dynamic duo. Drip Harder was a collaborative album that did wonders to boost both of their careers in 2018. The fallout of the Young Thug trial, however, has done damage to their relationship. Lil Baby and Gunna used to be close, but they have not worked together since it was rumored that Gunna snitched on their mutual mentor. Baby discussed the idea of rappers who “snitch” during a recent podcast appearance. He didn’t mention anybody by name, but made it clear he didn’t support them.

Lil Baby’s revelation came about on the A Safe Place Podcast. He told Lil Yachty that he makes a point to not work with rappers who have been deemed “snitches” by the industry. His reasoning? Lil Baby claims he has nothing in common with people who would sell out their own. “Those kinds of morals [are] never going to leave,” he asserted. “I’m always gonna look at certain stuff a certain way.” When asked to give additional context, Lil Baby boiled it down to subject matter. “It boils down to what we rapping about… We can’t rap about that if you did that,” he stated. “If I was making Christmas music, then I don’t give a damn what you did.”

Lil Baby Prides Himself On Authenticity In His Music

Lil Baby was steadfast in his convictions. He did, however, note that he would never out an artist for being a snitch. “I don’t even speak on n**gas,” he explained. “Even if it was in the streets, you wouldn’t put up posters saying he’s a snitch.” The rapper went on to make broader observations about hip hop and the ways in which lyrics have gotten certain artists in trouble. Lil Baby believes that rappers who brag about the crimes they’ve committed in song are ruining the genre as a whole.

“Rapping in these songs,” the rapper noted. “Talking about murders, and who you killed. That sh*t f*cking up the whole program.” Lil Baby believes this trend is not only impacting the business side of things but the personal as well. Artists are unable to promote and capitalize on their music if they’re locked up, and younger generations are emulating what they see. Lil Baby has not publicly called out Gunna, but the falling out between the two men suggests the former believes the rumor that Gunna snitched.

Lil Woody Explains Why He Doesn’t Feel Completely Responsible For Young Thug’s Trial

December 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Young Thug YSL affiliate Lil Woody is standing up for himself. Recently, him and DJ Vlad conducted an exclusive interview together in which they mainly focused on the trial and its aftermath. Some clips include him talking about the lies, the ex-parte meeting, as well as his reaction to Thugger’s plea deal. Speaking of that, he was very nervous for the rapper’s future and was eventually stunned with the final results. “I thanked God. I thanked God so much that day. S***, I’ve been at peace ever since… When I heard what the D.A. was offering, 45 years do 25, I was like, ‘Wow,’” he explained.

“And then the plea that he took, it had me sweating like, ‘What in the world type of plea was that?’ I didn’t wanna see nothing bad happened to him,” Woody added. This type of energy is what he’s been on even during the trial despite what outsiders would want you to believe. Throughout the YSL RICO trial, he was constantly judged and berated online for his behavior and antics. Because of this, many were viewing him as the star witness, which he feels is a complete inaccuracy.

Lil Woody Feels His Culpability Was Blown Out Of Proportion

In the interview clip above, Woody explains why he believes he’s not as culpable as he was made out to be. He says, “Think what y’all wanna think, feel what y’all want to feel. Y’all can sit here and say I’m the main reason for this trial.” Lil Woody continued, “But if you really watching the trial and paying attention, you’ll see I wasn’t… I know I wasn’t. Think about it, if I gave a statement 2015, if I’m the main witness why is an arrest in 2022 whenever it was? If I’m the star witness and this whole trial based off me and the statements, I allegedly gave was 2015.”

Vlad then rebutted by saying that he did actually speak, but Woody said that because they wound up being not true, they become alleged. “My whole thing is everybody feel played,” Woody added in his overall thoughts on the matter. Overall, this is an explanation of why he apologized the way he did back in October. If you remember, he said, “I took him through a process that I never should have took him through. Even though I know I’m not the cause of it, despite how anybody may feel, it’s wrong.”

Lil Yachty Shoots Down Claim That Young Thug Supported Karrahbooo

December 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Yachty and Karrahbooo comprise one of 2024’s many hip hop feuds. The rappers had a falling out after Karrahbooo decided to leave Yachty’s Concrete Boys collective. She proceeded to make passive aggressive comments about the way Yachty treated (or mistreated) her. In response, Yachty has called Karrahbooo a liar and a victim. Things seemingly cooled off for a couple of months, but a Tuesday post from Karrahbooo kickstarted another heated exchange between the former peers.

Karrahbooo hopped on Instagram Live to detail her relationship with Young Thug. She claimed that Thug’s YSL label showed interest in her before she signed with Yachty. Even after Karrahbooo signed, and Young Thug was locked up, the rapper claimed that Thug showed her love. “Young Thug was in jail checking for me,” Karrahbooo recalled. “I told Boat, I was excited.” It was the rapper’s next statement that sparked controversy. She claimed Lil Yachty was nonplussed by Thug’s co-sign, since Thug was locked up. “He was like ‘What the f*ck can that n**ga do for you from jail?’,” Karrahbooo alleged. She proceeded to call Yachty a hater and criticized him for not publicly endorsing her sooner.

Lil Yachty Claimed Karrahbooo Is “Lying For Attention”

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks)

Lil Yachty had thoughts. He took to Instagram shortly after the rapper made her comments, and refuted all of them. “Lying for attention,” Boat wrote. “I wish u well.” This is far from the first time Lil Yachty has accused his former artist of lying. In August, Lil Yachty blasted Karrahbooo for not being appreciative of the opportunity he gave her. He also claimed that she owed him a massive amount of money. “Tell people how you verbally abuse people,” he demanded. “Tell people how you talk to people… You $900,000 in the hole and I got every f*cing receipt.”

This isn’t the first time a female artist has linked Lil Yachty and Young Thug, either. Mariah the Scientist, who is currently dating Thug, claimed that she was romantically involved with Yachty when she attended college. Her revelation came during an October appearance on Caresha Please. Lil Yachty previously denied being involved with Mariah the Scientist. He even criticized the singer for not shooting down the rumors on social media.

Young Thug Requests Amendment To Probation Terms In Atlanta

December 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Young Thug misses his hometown. The rapper may have been a free man after what looked like a very dire legal situation, but he wants to visit Atlanta. That’s what his lawyers stated on December 10. Legal reps for the rapper filed a motion that would allow him to visit loved ones. A motion that seeks to roll back the decade long ban that was placed on Young Thug when he was initially released.

Young Thug’s legal team claimed the rapper’s family lives in Atlanta. As such, he should be allowed to visit them. “Mr. Williams has family in the metro Atlanta area, specifically in the Atlanta, Georgia area,” the motion read. “Respectfully requests the ability to reside/visit at times, in his home located in the city in the attached, under seal, document.” Thugger’s attorneys felt it was justifiable for the rapper to want to visit his loved ones. Especially during the holidays. “[Mr. Williams wants to] have family gatherings. For holidays and other lawful reasons with his family, friends, and business associates,” the statement read. “Which is a home already owned by Mr. Williams.”

Young Thug’s probation officer did not take issue with this motion. The rapper has clearly been angling for an easier probation since his release. He appeared on a FaceTime call during an interview with one of his lawyers, Keith Adams, last week. The rapper was asked how he felt about being a free man. He took a predictably appreciative stance, especially with regard to the fans. “It kept me going,” he admitted. Thug also took time out to request that his probation be loosened up. “Get me off the probation,” he asked his lawyer, when questioned on what he’d like to happen next.

Young Thug’s lawyers have asked for a hearing to consider the probation amendment. It’s unclear when a judge will decided on the proposed amendment. In the meantime, though, the rapper will continue to work on new music. He won’t be able to rap about gang-affiliated content, but Young Thug can still rap alongside some of the biggest artists in the world. Artists who made it very clear that they were thrilled to see him released from prison.
