Young Thug Proposes to Mariah the Scientist at Atlanta Concert

American rapper Jeffery Williams, popularly known as Young Thug, proposed to singer Mariah the Scientist during a concert in Atlanta on Tuesday, turning the show into a highly personal moment for the couple.

The proposal happened at Young Thug’s Home Town Hero Concert, where he went down on one knee and presented an engagement ring. A screen behind him displayed the message “Will You Marry Me,” according to the report.

Young Thug and Mariah the Scientist—whose real name is Mariah Amani Buckles—began dating in 2021 after collaborating on a song. Their relationship later faced public scrutiny, including after Young Thug’s 2022 arrest on charges cited in the report, and following leaked jail calls that alleged he had been unfaithful while incarcerated.

In November 2025, rumors circulated that the pair had split, though neither publicly confirmed the claims.

Weeks before the proposal, Buckles discussed her thoughts on marriage and family during an interview with Power 105.1 FM, saying she wanted to be married and hoped to have at least one child.
