On December 16, local time, Young Thug proposed to his longtime girlfriend during his “Hometown Hero: Young Thug & Friends – A Benefit Concert” at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. In front of a packed crowd, the rapper invited Mariah the Scientist on stage and made the moment unforgettable.
Videos from the concert show Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffery Lamar Williams II, standing beside Mariah and speaking into the microphone as he presented her with an engagement ring. Behind them, the words “Will you marry me?” lit up the screen, sending the audience into loud cheers. Mariah the Scientist, born Mariah Amani Buckles, happily said “yes” as the crowd celebrated the big moment with the couple.
The proposal comes after several years together. Young Thug and Mariah the Scientist have been dating since 2021 and have faced both highs and lows in their relationship. Earlier this year, Mariah spoke openly about wanting to get married and “settle down” during an interview with Angie Martinez, making the proposal feel like a natural next step.
The couple has also dealt with rumors in recent months, including speculation about a possible pregnancy after Young Thug joked in a GQ interview about “putting a baby in her.” However, they never confirmed the rumors. Split rumors later followed, but by October, it became clear that the two were still together.
Their relationship was previously tested in 2022 when Young Thug was caught in an infidelity scandal that surfaced through a leaked recording. At the time, the rapper publicly apologized on X (formerly Twitter), asking for forgiveness and urging people to leave Mariah out of the controversy. Although it appeared they had broken up then, the couple ultimately worked through their issues.
Now, with this public proposal, fans are thrilled to see the pair moving forward together. The on-stage engagement has sparked excitement across social media, with many celebrating what seems to be a fresh and happy chapter for Young Thug and Mariah the Scientist.
