The proposal happened during the Hometown Hero: Young Thug & Friends – A Benefit Concert, held at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. The event formed part of a homecoming-style show, bringing the artist back to his home city for a high-profile performance alongside friends and collaborators.

Mariah the Scientist, who has been in a long-term relationship with Young Thug, had recently spoken about her desire to get married, making the timing of the proposal notable. Her earlier comments about wanting to settle down appeared to be answered by the on-stage gesture, which was met with cheers from the crowd.

Photographs and video clips from the night show the pair together on stage following the proposal, with Mariah visibly emotional as the audience reacted. Neither artist has yet released a formal statement, but the footage itself has confirmed the engagement.

The proposal added a personal dimension to the benefit concert, which was otherwise focused on music and community engagement.
