Young Thug and Mariah the Scientist Are Engaged, Rapper Proposes During Atlanta Concert
Miley Cyrus and Maxx Morando Engaged After 4 Years of Dating
There’s a wedding in the air.
Young Thug and Mariah the Scientist are engaged after the “Go Crazy” rapper popped the question onstage in their hometown of Atlanta, Georgia during his Hometown Hero benefit concert Dec.
16.
In videos shared across social media, Thug (real name Jeffery Lamar Williams II) took the stage as the words “Will You Marry Me?” flashed on the screen behind him while he got down on one knee. But the artist had a surprise up his sleeve.
Partway through the Atlanta local's "Hometown Hero" performance, he was joined by girlfriend Mariah the Scientist on stage before dropping down to one knee.
"Will you marry me?" flashed brightly on the screen behind him and cheers erupted from the crowd, videos show.
"Guess I'm getting married," Mariah the Scientist says into the microphone.
The couple, whose real names are Jeffery Williams and Mariah Buckles, have had a public on-and-off relationship since 2021.
The "Hometown Hero" show, labeled a benefit concert, was put on to feature the Grammy-award winning rapper's fourth solo album, UY Scuti, released earlier this year.
Relationship rattled by leaked jail calls
In May 2022, Young Thug and 27 others were arrested in Georgia and accused of violating the Racketeer Influences and Corrupt Organizations Act, or a RICO case.
A 56-count indictment brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis accused Williams of being the leader of Young Stoner Life, a group with a history of violent street crime and other offenses.
Young Thug eventually pled guilty in 2024, and was sentenced to time served and probation.
After some consideration, Thug said, "Maybe 'Ninjas.' It's called 'Ninjas,' and it's by this gay rapper named Young Thug."
Thug was almost certainly trolling while also promoting his UY Scuti opener "Ninja," which he performed at ComplexCon 2025 last month.
"But I still got—I got a girl. The “Walked In” collaborators’ engagement comes four years after they began their relationship in 2021.
And after months of breakup speculation earlier this year, Thug confirmed their brief split in October.
"I got broke up with,” Thug told Adin Ross in a livestream at the time.
“I just want a commitment that doesn’t involve and obligation to a baby.
She probably don’t got a boyfriend, but I got a girlfriend."
Days later, the rapper confirmed their reconciliation as he celebrated Mariah’s birthday. Young Thug then slid a massive diamond engagement ring onto the "Burning Blue" singer's lefthand ring finger as she exclaimed, "Put it on!"
"Guess I'm getting married!" Mariah the Scientist said into a glittery microphone before kissing her fiancé again.
Later in the night, the couple posed for photographs together, with Mariah the Scientist stretching her arm out to show off her shiny new bling.
