Young Thug and Mariah the Scientist have been together since 2021. Now, they are ready to take a big step forward. On December 16, the rapper surprised everyone with a proposal. It happened during his Hometown Hero Young Thug and Friends benefit concert in Atlanta. The moment took place at State Farm Arena. Mariah said yes in front of a cheering crowd.
Videos from the concert quickly spread online. Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffery Lamar Williams II, brought Mariah on stage. He spoke into the microphone and presented her with an engagement ring. Behind them, the words Will you marry me lit up the screen. The crowd went wild. Mariah, whose real name is Mariah Amani Buckles, smiled and accepted the proposal. The ring was placed on her finger, and the moment turned into a celebration.
Mariah has spoken about marriage before. Earlier this year, she shared in an interview that she wants to settle down soon. There were also rumors in the past that the couple was expecting a baby. Those rumors started after Young Thug joked about it in an interview. They never confirmed anything. Later, breakup rumors began to circulate. By October, it became clear they were still together and doing well.
The couple has had their struggles. In 2022, Young Thug faced backlash over an infidelity scandal. A leaked recording made the situation public. At the time, he apologized openly on social media. He admitted he was wrong and asked Mariah for forgiveness. He also asked people to leave her alone and give her peace. Many believed the two had split after that.
This engagement has changed everything. Fans are excited and emotional. After all the ups and downs, the couple seems stronger than ever. The future now looks bright for Young Thug and Mariah the Scientist.
