Here’s What Led To Young Thug Posting Mariah The Scientist
As mentioned, Young Thug’s praise for Mariah comes after innanet users shared mixed reactions to Thugger’s cell.
The rapper has been in Atlanta police custody since May 2022 following his arrest on RICO charges. His trial kicked off in November 2023 after months of jury selection. The trial is still ongoing.
On Monday (Jan. 29), bodycam footage from a search of his cell surfaced online. A timestamp on the video shows it was filmed in June 2022. It appeared to be a routine contraband search, but the footage gave fans a glimpse of Thugger’s personal possessions.
Keep in mind that Jerrika offered fans an update on Thugger’s mental health the same month of the search, indicating the former couple was in contact during that time.
While inspecting books, magazines, his bed, and more, the camera panned a wall covered in photos. At least two of the images appear to feature his ex, Jerrika. The former pair dated on and off between 2015 and 2021.
To note, the video also displays photos of Mariah — in the large majority — on Thugger’s wall. The ‘From A Woman’ singer and Thugger were first romantically linked in late November 2021, when photos of them at the club and an Atlanta Hawks game together surfaced.

Ironically, in 2017, Thugger posted a photo of him and Jerrika to his X account using a caption similar to his recent Mariah praise. It read, “All I see/want.”

Meanwhile, Mariah went viral just days ago for a leaked jail call with Thugger. In the clip, she’s seen and heard asking him, “Daddy, am I your baby?” The intimate moment caused waves on social media — from reaction videos to memes and celebrities calling out authorities over the rapper’s privacy.
