Mariah the Scientist Says She Was Denied Jail Visit With Young Thug on Couple’s 3rd Anniversary
Mariah the Scientist was on her way to visit Young Thug at the Fulton County Jail on their third anniversary earlier this week when she claims she was denied a virtual visit with the incarcerated rapper.
The R&B singer hopped on Instagram Live on Monday (Oct. 7) to vent to fans and voice her frustrations about not being able to virtually see her man (born Jeffery Williams) and the jail official wasting her time. She even brought a decorated “Happy Anniversary” sign and some Scotch tape to spice up the visit.
“It’s my three-year anniversary with Jeff. I done drove all the way to the motherf–king jail. The jail is 30 minutes from the city, first of all,” she began. I done drove all the way to the jail and stopped at Party City in between so I could tape up my little ‘Happy Anniversary’ sign in the back because there’s not much space. It’s through a screen, by the way.”
Mariah added that she was “devastated” and “sad,” but will try again at another time.
“I done drove all the way to the motherf–king jail with my ‘Happy Anniversary’ sign and my Scotch tape and get inside for them to say, ‘The system is down.’ I’m devastated. I’m looking cute,” she continued. “I put this ponytail in my head. I done did all this s–t and I can’t see my man on my anniversary and I am sad, devastated. That is so crazy … I had to let you in on my trials and tribulations. It’s always some s–t, huh?”
Billboard has reached out to the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office for comment.
Young Thug remains behind bars as part of the ongoing YSL RICO trial. He’s been imprisoned since his arrest in May 2022, and is now part of the longest trial in Georgia’s history.
Mariah has held Thug down throughout his prison stint, and will make appearances at his court dates to show her support for the Atlanta rapper. In the past, they’ve connected for Mariah the Scientist tracks such as “Ride” and “Walked In.”
Billboard spoke to Mariah the Scientist earlier this year where she spoke about him still being supportive of her from behind bars and how they essentially talk “every day, all day.”
“I talk to him every day, all day,” she said in May. “When I have the opportunity to go to court and tune in physically, I am there. I feel like he appreciates, respects and encourages the fact that I have a strong work ethic and am actively working as much as I can. It’s good to do that, because if I didn’t I probably would be a little more down and out about it. He’s done a lot of the things I’m doing now, but he’s, like, living vicariously through me again.”
She continued: “We talk about it all the time. I feel like he pushes me to do more things. He’s very encouraging. He’s definitely supportive. I feel like sometimes they expect me to say he’s down and out. He’s not really that kind of guy. It’s very rare that he’s like that. Obviously, everybody doesn’t have perfect days every single day. For the most part, I have more down days than he does.”
