Mariah the Scientist and Young Thug announced they are engaged, following his proposal at their concert.

The couple have been one of the ride-or-die couples of the hip-hop world, getting together in 2021, just before the infamous YSL trials featuring his frenemy, Gunna.

Mariah supported her man through serving his three-year-long sentence, visiting him frequently, and dedicating songs to him when performing.

The ‘Lifestyle’ rapper dropped to one knee on December 16th, at his ‘Hometown Hero: Young Thug & Friends’ concert, where the ‘Burning Blue’ singer was a guest performer.

During her performance, Thugger walked on stage with a huge ‘Will You Marry Me?’ graphic on screen, and presented the singer with a big, dazzling ring.

The audience was cheering in the rather intimate moment.

This comes after Mariah had been discussing her urge to get married and have kids, eager to start building up her family with her man.

However, some fans are disappointed with the news, as it was reported back in September that the rapper had been cheating on Mariah.

A leaked jail phone call exposed the artist for talking to another woman back in 2022, and Mariah supposedly left the rapper.

The happy couple are yet to share the news on their own socials, but a celebration is bound to happen.
