Young Thug has stirred up conversation in the music industry by criticizing Billboard’s list of the greatest female rappers, particularly pointing out the absence of his girlfriend, Mariah The Scientist. The ranking, which places Nicki Minaj at the forefront, has sparked widespread debate across social media since its unveiling earlier this week. On April 9, the Atlanta rapper turned to Instagram to react to a list posted by influencer Akademiks. In his comment, he asked, “Where Mariah at tho 🤔,” emphasizing his view that her impact on the genre warrants acknowledgment.
The Billboard ranking highlights a dynamic mix of artists, featuring trailblazers like Lauryn Hill, Missy Elliott, Lil Kim, Queen Latifah, and Foxy Brown among the top 25. The list also celebrates today’s rising stars, including Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, GloRilla, Doechii, and Latto, underscoring the enduring legacy and ever-evolving nature of female rap.
Young Thug’s Loyalty Questioned: Leaked Jail Call Sparks Mariah The Scientist Apology
Young Thug’s vocal defense of Mariah The Scientist now appears to be tangled in the complexities of their troubled relationship. Recent reports have brought to light his interactions with multiple women while incarcerated, prompting doubts about his loyalty. A December jail call, which has since been leaked, reveals Thugger casually admitting to conversing with “at least 10 other girls” to pass the time, raising further questions about the couple’s bond.
In the same conversation, Thug expressed concern for Mariah’s emotional well-being, fearing his actions could “devastate” her given her deep affection for him. In response, he issued a public apology via social media, declaring his love for Mariah and addressing the negative chatter surrounding their relationship: “Sorry to my baby for all this bullshit on the internet. I love u baby and fuck em all we know what’s up with us!” he wrote on X.
The couple’s relationship has been under the microscope since at least 2021, with Mariah consistently standing by Young Thug during his legal battles, including the ongoing RICO charges that surfaced in 2022.
