Young Thug has been locked up ever since he was arrested in May 2022 on RICO charges. But that doesn't mean he isn't tied into the current Hip Hop happenings.
That has to do with his girlfriend Mariah the Scientist, who gives updates during visits and plays songs for him over the phone. She talked about it in a recent interview with Billboard.
"I tell him everything," she said. "I might tell him too much. I play him the [diss] songs over the phone and sh*t. He's a lover of music in general. He f*cks with everybody. I don’t think he would ever be able to – let me not speak for him. He love music, though."
"He thinks it’s interesting, for sure," Mariah added. "We were listening to some of the songs. Not all of them, because now I’ve gotten lost. In the beginning, I was like, 'Hey, there’s a tizzy going on.' I played him some of it. I feel like those two people are both great rappers. With all of the rappers with the guy and the girl rappers, granted it’s cool for the craft, and to be able to keep up with that — because let me not lie and say there’s no competitive energy in the music industry because there is."
On another note, why do you think Drake's fans are having such a hard time with Kendrick's victory?
