Mariah The Scientist recently found herself torn between love and duty, a decision that has left fans divided.
While performing as a supporting act on Latto’s 'Sugar Honey Iced Tea' tour, Mariah paused her tour schedule to spend time with her partner, rapper Young Thug, who was recently released from prison. Young Thug, involved in the YSL RICO case, accepted a plea deal that reduced his 40-year sentence to time served, allowing his release after being in custody since May 2022.
During a show in Cincinnati on November 1, Mariah canceled her live appearance but connected with fans via FaceTime, where the audience sang her song 'Spread Thin' to her. The Andrew J Brady Music Center posted an update on X (formerly Twitter), informing fans of the change and confirming that Latto and Karrahbooo would still perform.
Hey Cincinnati! Due to unforeseen circumstances, Mariah The Scientist will no longer be joining us for @Latto’s show at The Andrew J Brady Music Center® tonight. Don’t worry, Latto and Karrahbooo will still be there to bring you an unforgettable night 🎶🔥 pic.twitter.com/SDxo0CcSXM

Fan reactions were mixed; some understood Mariah’s desire to be with Young Thug, while others emphasized her commitment to ticket holders. With the tour set to end on December 7, Mariah’s return remains uncertain, leaving fans wondering if her break is temporary.
At a recent tour stop, Mariah expressed gratitude and addressed skepticism about her relationship with Thug, saying, “There were people who told me I’d never see him again… What you gon’ say now?” Her words highlighted the strength of their bond despite challenges, as Mariah looks forward to reconnecting with Young Thug after a long separation.
