Young Thug Proposes To Mariah The Scientist At Benefit Concert
During a benefit concert in Atlanta, Young Thug became a “Hometown Hero” when he proposed to his girlfriend, Mariah the Scientist
During a concert in Atlanta on Dec. 15, recording artist Young Thug became a “Hometown Hero” when he proposed to his girlfriend and fellow Georgia native, Mariah the Scientist.
The two artists have been dating for years (since 2021), and Mariah stood by Thug’s side during his years-long Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) trial, culminating in the moment they shared on stage at a benefit concert before the audience. The proposal took place at the State Farm Arena, where Thug headlined the charity event titled “Hometown Hero: Young Thug & Friends.”
A video clip shot at the concert showed Thug getting down on one knee to “pop the question” to Mariah while both were on stage. As he presented her with the ring, the backdrop behind him read “Will You Marry Me?” in pink. As the crowd cheered for the couple, he seemingly asked for her hand in marriage, and she said yes. When he got back from being on one knee, he asked her, “What you say? She responds, “Put it on!” and extends her finger so he can place the ring on it.
After several seconds, she turned to the crowd and said, “Guess I’m getting married.”

Young Thug is getting back into the swing of things after being on trial for over two years and being in police custody for more than 900 days. After pleading no contest to racketeering and leading a criminal street gang, he was sentenced to time served and released from custody following Fulton County’s longest trial in history.
This is Thug’s second performance in his hometown, after the “Stoner” rapper hosted a free concert at a rally at the Fulton County Courthouse on Sept. 28, in front of many children who are his fans.
