There had been rumors of a recent split between Thugger and Mariah, but nothing was confirmed. However, fans thought they could’ve still been together after the R&B singer made a pair of appearances on Thug’s UY Scuti album.
Thug and Mariah sparked dating rumors in 2021 when the duo was spotted hanging together while attending an Atlanta Falcons game against the New England Patriots. Thugger was coming out of a relationship with Jerrika Karlae while Mariah was rumored to be dating former NBA player Brandon Goodwin.
They appeared to be going strong heading into 2022 when Thug was indicted as part of the YSL RICO trial. Mariah continued to hold down her man, as she supported him throughout his two-plus year stint behind bars.
The R&B singer was a popular visitor for Thug in jail, while she also kept his spirits up with plenty of phone calls, many of which became the subject of leaks in recent months. Thug even admitted to cheating on Mariah the day before he was arrested in May 2022 in one of the leaked calls.
Mariah confronted him about it on one of the calls. “It was the day before I got locked up, man,” Thug admitted. “Whatever happened wasn’t even a month, like 18 days or something like that. Whatever, I ain’t doing it with her. So whoopty doo.”
Thugger also apologized to Mariah publicly on X in early September as the leaks flooded social media. “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,” he wrote. “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”
