Young Thug Recalls Getting ‘Stood Up’ By Mariah The Scientist on Their First Date

Young Thug and Mariah The Scientist have been going strong for four years — even remaining together through Thugger’s two-plus-year incarceration — but their relationship may have never gotten off the ground if the YSL rapper didn’t remain persistent.

Thug and Mariah sat down for a couple’s quiz with GQ on Wednesday (June 4), and Thugger accused the “Burning Blue” singer of standing him up on their first date.

“I don’t know what you wore on the first date because you stood me up,” Thug said. “How about that? I don’t know what you had on.” Mariah was taken aback and denied skipping out on the date. “This is crazy,” she replied. “No I did not.”

When they settled on their real first date, there was still a debate over what Mariah had on, as Thug suggested she had on black attire at an all-white affair.

“I had on white and some jeans,” she said. “Zero points. Ain’t had no black on. My pants was kinda dark.”

Young Thug was released from jail on Halloween (Oct. 31) after being arrested as part of the YSL RICO case in May 2022. Mariah made appointment visits to support her man and hold him down during his incarceration.

Last month, Mariah earned her highest-charting hit on the Billboard Hot 100 when “Burning Blue” debuted at No. 25. As for Thug, fans are anticipating his UY SCUTI album, which he joked with GQ that the project would be released on June 37.
