Mariah The Scientist opens up about being strong while her beau, Young Thug, is behind bars.

While on Angel Reese’s Unapologetically Angel podcast with Latto, Mariah gets candid about her relationship with Thug. “It’s cute, you know. I love him,” Mariah said when asked about her and Thug’s romance. “It is kind of like [long-distance] but I get to see him in court, so I be going to court. Sometimes I fall asleep in there. I just go to breathe his air… I love my man, yes. I love him.”

She continued: “It’s hard… If somebody told me that a few months into my relationship my man would get locked up? He’s been locked up now for longer than we were in a relationship before he got locked up.”

Mariah hints that she may be holding Thug too down. “No, no, no. Don’t say too down,” Reese reacted. “It’s never too down. Girls are dying for your spot.”

Mariah also opened about her views on marriage. “I feel like when girls grow up, you think about marriage and you just think, ‘Oh, it’s so cute. We’re going to get the dress and the ring and it’s going to be this ceremony and we’re going to get turned up afterwards,’” she explained, “but nobody’s thinking about… How can I put this? I would love to be together forever, but with marriages, you assume there are liabilities, as well; like, if they have children or if they owe $100 million in taxes…you become one. So I just feel like it should be worth it.”

Latto Talks Her Love Life:

Latto, who also appeared on the episode, addressed her relationship. The rapper has seemingly been in a relationship for a while- however, she keeps her lover completely private. “What’s secret and what’s private? Because my shit ain’t secret to those who need to know,” she said. “[My] momma knows what’s up… why do y’all need to know? At this point, I feel like I’m going to have a baby in secret. I’ma have my marriage in secret.”

“Since y’all know so much, I’ma make sure y’all know nothing,” she said. “I feel like people just be wanting to see you down. When people feel like they know something or when they do know something, they just come out of the woodwork… They just be talking too much.”
