Mariah & Thug: Boo’d Up Or Just Business?
Mariah The Scientist and Young Thug presumably began dating around November 2021 when YSL posted now-infamous pics of the two getting cozy. This came just months after Thug’s ex-fiancée, Jerrika Karlae — who’d been in an on-and-off relationship with him since 2015 — accused him of abuse back in 2020. Either way, she didn’t seem too pressed when dating rumors between the two started swirling. Soon after, the pair went on a date to an Atlanta Falcons game and played bride and groom in Mariah’s ‘Walked In’ music video. The internet? In shambles.
Thugger’s Arrest & The Couple’s Hard Launch
Thugger’s May 2022 arrest in the massive YSL RICO case didn’t stop their love — it made it louder. In August, Mariah got a sweet balloon-and-gift set-up that her bae had arranged from behind bars. That was apparently her first time going public-public about their romance. She popped out for his birthday with a matching vibe, defended their bond on social media, and even exchanged some spicy flirty comments with him online. Fans knew then — this wasn’t a fling. This was love in lockdown.

Mariah Reps Her Man While Dropping New Music
At a festival in August 2023, Mariah had the crowd gagged when she referred to Thug as her “baby da**y.” While people speculated about a secret pregnancy, it turned out to be more of a pet name than an announcement. Still, their connection was undeniable. Mariah dropped her album ‘To Be Eaten Alive’ in October 2023, which featured a song called ‘From A Woman’ — and its video included a Young Thug cameo. Thug also had matched her energy with the song ‘From A Man.’ On ‘Way Up With Angela Yee,’ Mariah said:
“It’s almost like jail solidified our relationship… I’m willing to wait it out because I feel like he’s the one.”
