Well, this happened. Mariah The Scientist has been doing her thing in the charts with her latest hit “Burning Blu,e” but all eyes were on Young Thug during their red carpet appearance at the 2025 BET Awards after a tense moment caused a stir.
Okay, here’s what happened. Stepping out in a striking animal mask alongside his partner, Thug appeared calm at first as he exchanged compliments with a fellow attendee. But things quickly shifted when someone nearby reportedly tried to stop the singer for a comment. That’s when Thugger shut it down.
“We not doin that, c’mon,” he snapped while flipping off the unknown individual and leading Mariah away from the scene.
We’re not going to show it, but here they are on the carpet:
The awkward moment was caught on camera and quickly went viral online. One viewer chimed in on the situation saying, “Mariah has a hit out right now. Thug you trippin. Let her shine.” Others came to his defense just as fast, suggesting there may have been more behind the outburst.
“Somebody said something weird. He flipped them the bird and was leaving the situation like he learned to do .. what’s the problem .. stay and become content and get violated on probation .. nah he did right,” another fan wrote.
So basically the full details of the exchange remain murky, but the timing is significant. The brief incident unfolded shortly after the YSL case officially concluded. According to Billboard, “More than three years after Young Thug, Gunna and dozens of others were indicted in Atlanta on gang charges, Thug’s last co-defendant has pleaded guilty.”
