Young Thug has issued a public apology to longtime girlfriend Mariah the Scientist after leaked jail calls revealed he cheated on her shortly before his May 2022 arrest.
In one of the recorded conversations, the Atlanta rapper admitted to being unfaithful. Once the audio spread across social media, he addressed the situation directly on X, writing:
“My baby I was wrong and I’m sorry for what I put u through. U deserved better from me. Thank you for everything and I will do anything to make this work. U showed me what love is and I hope I haven’t lost u forever… everybody leave her out of this please she’s an innocent girl and feels bad about all of this. Please give her peace.”
The apology comes after Thugger had already faced backlash over another leaked phone call, this one targeting Memphis rapper GloRilla. In that conversation, he mocked her appearance, saying:
“That bitch ugly as fuck. They say she ain’t ugly, man that bitch ain’t nothing. Long ass bullshit ass wig, skinny shit, God damn big ass head, big mouth. I would not pursue her, like at all. That shit ain’t nothing.”
Once the clip went public, Young Thug quickly walked back his remarks. He shared another apology on social media, writing:
“First of all I’m sorry to u for my words and I honestly don’t think ur ugly at all, I was speaking from jail just having a hard time with life. I don’t like bashing girls and hardly ever did.. I’m sorry to u twin.”
Young Thug remains incarcerated while awaiting his RICO trial, but the recent string of leaked phone calls has only amplified public attention on his case and his personal life.
