The R&B starlet has threatened to air her rumoured ex fling out over the resurfaced drama.

Like many others in the music industry, Mariah the Scientist didn't always plan on becoming a singer. She came onto the scene with a bang in 2019, sharing her MASTER project including popular titles like "Beetlejuice," "Reminders," and "Note to Self." In the years since, she's given us 2021's RY RY WORLD featuring Young Thug and Lil Baby, as well as last year's Buckles Laboratories Presents: The Intermission four-pack EP.

Before she became known as Young Thug's current love interest, and an R&B starlet in her own right, Mariah was a student at St. John's University in New York. She was previously accepted at the school on a biology scholarship, hence her stage name, but ultimately dropped out to pursue a career in music. Before she was involved with the YSL head, the "Church" songstress was rumoured to be with Lil Yachty, who some think is the real reason she walked away from her post-secondary education.

As XXL reports, earlier this weekend a tweet that brought attention back to the rumoured pair's years-old drama appeared online. "How do you go to school to be an anesthesiologist and [end] up flunking out [because] of Lil Yachty?" the account holder asked, earning thousands of likes. In a series of since-deleted posts of his own, the "Broccoli" hitmaker spoke out on the situation. "Lol why do y'all keep trying me over this woman?" he asked. "I been [quiet] for so long but [please] stop making up this weird ass false narrative."

He went on to call out the Scientist for staying silent as well, writing, "and the fact Mariah just let all these lies go on is weird to me. Y'all really be on d*ck about shit y'all [know] nothing about... Go touch grass." Of course, the drama didn't stop there. When another internet troll suggested that Yachty got a friend of the 25-year-old's pregnant, he shut down that gossip too. "This is also just not true. Lmao, they were never friends... EVER, never met. Rarely had a full conversation. They just followed each other... [YOU] N*GGAS [ARE] WEIRD!!!!!!!!!!!"

Lil Yachty Clears His Name, The Scientist Responds

Further clearing his name in another tweet, the "Poland" artist added, "and me and Mariah wasn't dating at the time... Again!!!!!! Only time I'ma say this. Leave me out of it," his rant concluded. When Yachty finished speaking his truth, it was the Scientist's turn to enter the chat. "I know a n*gga ain't having [something to] say 'bout [something] I don't ever speak on," she wrote on the same app. "Miles [you] got to be dizzy, I will air [you] out on this bitch," her since-removed response read.
