Wedding bells are in the air for Young Thug and Mariah The Scientist!
The YSL rapper popped the question to his girlfriend and collaborator while performing at his Hometown Hero benefit concert at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena on Tuesday (December 16).
Footage of the romantic moment showed Thugger pausing his set and getting down on one knee to ask Mariah, who he had just performed with, for her hand in marriage.
“What do you say, man?” he asked as the words “Will You Marry Me?” filled the giant onstage screen behind them. “Put it on!” Mariah replied, motioning her man to put the eye-catching diamond ring on her finger.
She then turned to the crowd and said: “I guess we’re getting married!” — prompting a roar of screams and applause from fans.
Young Thug and Mariah The Scientist began dating in 2021 and have showcased their creative chemistry on multiple collaborations. The soon-to-be-married couple even played bride and groom in the video to “Walked In.”
Mariah admirably stuck by Thug’s side throughout his lengthy YSL RICO trial, which kept him behind bars for over two years.
“It’s almost like jail solidified our relationship. I’m willing to wait it out because I feel like he’s the one,” she told The Breakfast Club in 2023. “In the beginning he was like, ‘I don’t know how long this is going to take so if you just want to go on.’ And I was like, ‘I’m not going to do that.’ He’s the one.”
However, their relationship has been anything but smooth sailing since Thugger was released from jail in October 2024.
The couple appeared to briefly break up last year after the “Hot” hitmaker was heard in a leaked jail call admitting to phoning “at least 10 other girls” while behind bars.
Thug quickly issued a public apology to Mariah, writing on social media: “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!”

Oh please, another couple getting engaged on stage while one of them was just doing a jail time confession? Bro, this is more drama than a TikTok trend. Thug’s got a ring, Mariah’s got a vibe, but honestly—did they just rewatch the “Hot” call and say, “Yeah, let’s marry now”? At least the ring’s not fake. Just… way too on the nose.
Hopefully it lasts for them. It seems like a PR stunt. I didn’t even see the clip but it sounds like “hell we here, what do you say?” 😂 I seen more chemistry in his last relationship with Karlae… just saying.
Forget this someone tell Trump to pardon Kay Flock!
Gay Flock is in there for 30 years. He’s going to be somebody’s girlfriend for a while now. Just accept it.
first thing you see when you google kay flock is allahu ahkbar. that boy can rot.
He’s gay tho. Most these rappers are. It’s why this generation is messed up. Bunch of rainbow rappers spewing garbage poking each other and fighting and arguing like little girls. ⏸️ this whole era of cRappers.
Forget this! Free Kay Flock! Trump pardon that man now and Diddy since Thug supports that too
Eat a dick. Diddy is a vicious butt pirate and Flock is going to be taking cock for a good 30 years. ⏸️ It’s simple, if you don’t want to end up being somebody’s bitch then don’t do stupid or illegal shit.
I miss swallowing Diddy’s babies.. I hope he’ll be released soon. Free Diddy and Pray 4 Ye ✊🏾
“I know you know I’m gay but please marry me. You can peg me every night while I’m wearing a dress. My albums don’t sell anymore so this is all I can offer you, Mariah The Peg-a-sus Rapper in the butt.”
