How long have Young Thug and Mariah The Scientist been together? YSL rapper admits to cheating on girlfriend in alleged leaked call

Young Thug has admitted to cheating on his girlfriend, Mariah The Scientist. According to Hot New Hip Hop, the couple began dating in 2021.

Several audio clips from Thug's time in jail have leaked in recent weeks. In these audios, he has spoken about rappers like Drake and Kendrick Lamar while taking digs at other artists. In another recent clip, he appears to admit to cheating on Mariah.

In one leaked audio, released on September 6, Thug is heard speaking about the time a woman posted images from his condo. He said (h/t Hot New Hip Hop):

“One of my little h*es—one of my little girls—she posting stuff on the internet at my condo from a long time ago."

He added:

“She [Mariah] like, ‘Man… girls posted in your condo?’”

In the audio, he explained that he tried to downplay the situation back then and added:

“Wasn't a minute ago, it was the day before I got locked up, man… Whatever happened wasn’t even a month, like 18 days or something like that. Whatever, I ain’t doing it with her. So whoopie doo.”

Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffery Lamar Williams II, has been with Mariah since 2021. She supported him during his YSL arrest and trial and often visited him in jail. While there has been speculation about their relationship, the two are still together.

Speculation around Young Thug's relationship with Mariah started following an audio leak from his time in jail in December 2024. In 2022, model Leena Sayed visited Thug in prison, and a video of their conversation surfaced on social media last year.

In the clip, Sayed is heard telling Thug:

"I don’t like anyone. No one’s like you. I don’t like them, I want you."

This fueled speculation about their relationship on social media. The rapper was still dating Mariah at the time.

However, in an Instagram story on December 24, 2024, Sayed clarified her loyalty to her partner, Devin Haney, writing (via Complex):

"lol I'm nobody's twin I'm 100% down for my baby daddy with whatever he do nd whoever else he f**k with and that's why yall mad."

At the time, Sayed was pregnant with Haney's kid. She later gave birth to their daughter, Khrome, in January this year.

Meanwhile, Young Thug publicly apologized to Mariah during the incident, writing on X:

"Sorry to my baby for all this bullshit on the internet. I love u baby and f**k em all we know what's up with us!"

Before Mariah, Thug dated Jerrika Karlae. The two met in 2013 and got engaged in 2015. They were never shy about expressing their love in public, so it was a surprise when they broke up in 2017 due to the rapper's infidelity.

As per Hot New Hip Hop, they seemed to have patched things up in 2018 but then broke up again in late 2020 or early 2021.
