Mariah The Scientist has been holding Young Thug down while he’s behind bars, which includes keeping him up to date on the epic beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar.
In an interview with Billboard published on Wednesday (May 15), the Atlanta-based singer was asked if Thugger had any idea about his peers going toe-to-toe while he remains in prison amid his ongoing RICO trial.

“For sure. I tell him everything. I might tell him too much. I play him the [diss] songs over the phone and shit,” Mariah revealed. “He’s a lover of music in general. He f–ks with everybody. I don’t think he would ever be able to – let me not speak for him. He love music though.”
She continued: “He thinks it’s interesting, for sure. We were listening to some of the songs. Not all of them, because now I’ve gotten lost. In the beginning, I was like, ‘Hey, there’s a tizzy going on.’ I played him some of it. I feel like those two people are both great rappers.”

Young Thug and Mariah The Scientist have been dating since 2021, following his split with then-fiancée Jerrika Karlae in 2020.
Unfortunately, the pair did not get much time together before Thug was arrested in May 2022. But though they’ve remained strong throughout his time behind bars since, there was almost some trouble earlier this year after fans noticed photos of Karlae on the wall of Thug’s jail cell.
In January, bodycam footage of Thugga’s cell being searched for contraband appeared online that dated back to June 2022, per the timestamp in the video.
On his cell wall was a picture of him and Karlae from their time as a couple, despite them calling off their engagement in December 2020 over the rapper’s alleged abuse.

Eagle-eyed fans noticed a number of other photos of Karlae on Thug’s wall, alongside pictures of Mariah.
But in an effort to quell any confusion, the Atlanta rapper later posted a picture of Mariah on his X account along with the caption: “All I want. All I see,” which could be a reaction to the leaked footage.
