Lil Yachty Finally Admits He Was “Terrible” to Mariah The Scientist – As She Stands by Young Thug

Lil Yachty is finally admitting what fans have suspected for years—he wasn’t the best boyfriend to Mariah The Scientist. In a revealing conversation on Shannon Sharpe’s “Club Shay Shay”, Yachty opened up about their past relationship, surprising many with his honesty.

“I was a terrible person to her, and she’s truly amazing,” Yachty confessed. “But she’s an incredible woman, man, and I respect her a lot.”

This admission is a far cry from his previous stance—when he publicly denied their relationship and even dismissed Mariah’s claims that they had been together.

From High School to Heartbreak

Mariah, known for her deeply emotional songwriting, first spoke about their romance during her appearance on Yung Miami’s “Caresha Please” last year. She revealed that she and Yachty had met in high school but didn’t officially start dating until she was in college.

To show her affection, Mariah even wrote two songs for Yachty and gifted them to him on an iPod. His reaction? Cold. He admitted he never even listened to them, brushing it off at the time.

“I don’t wanna get Joan’d,” he reportedly told her, using a term for unnecessary emotional attachment.

Fans were quick to call him out for being dismissive, but at the time, Yachty denied they had ever been more than friends.

Denials, Drama, and Young Thug’s Unexpected Role

In 2023, amid growing speculation, Yachty went on Twitter to shut down the rumors, accusing Mariah of spreading “weird stories.” He seemed frustrated, writing:

“Why do y’all keep trying to link me to this woman? I’ve been silent for too long, but please stop making up these stories.”

Mariah, however, didn’t back down. In an indirect but telling response, she hinted that she could say a lot more about what really happened.

Interestingly, this all unfolded while Mariah was growing closer to Young Thug, whom she publicly supported amid his legal troubles. Fans speculated that Thug’s presence in her life—and his open admiration for her—only made Yachty more bitter about their past.

The Change of Heart – Growth or Guilt?

Now, Yachty seems to be in a different place. He’s no longer denying their past, and instead, he’s taking full responsibility.

“That was the first time she really spoke about us publicly, and honestly, she wasn’t even disrespectful,” he admitted. “I brought that on myself. She didn’t lie about anything.”

It’s a rare moment of humility from Yachty—something fans aren’t used to seeing from the normally playful rapper.

Meanwhile, Mariah & Young Thug’s Connection Grows

While Yachty is finally coming clean, Mariah The Scientist has moved on in a big way. Her rumored romance with Young Thug has been a hot topic, with the two sharing multiple public moments of affection.

Mariah has stayed by Thug’s side throughout his ongoing legal battles, visiting him in jail and even wearing clothes with his face printed on them.

Some fans believe Yachty’s recent confessions might be influenced by the fact that Mariah seems happier than ever with Thugger.

This story proves that time reveals everything. After years of denials and social media drama, Lil Yachty is finally admitting his mistakes—but is it too late? With Mariah now thriving and Young Thug playing a major role in her life, one thing is clear: she’s not looking back.
