Young Thug Pulls Mariah The Scientist From BET Awards Red Carpet Amid Fan Criticism

At the 2025 BET Awards, Young Thug and Mariah the Scientist made a notable red carpet appearance that sparked widespread social media discussion. Young Thug wore a distinctive animal mask and was seen pulling Mariah away from photographers and fans who wanted to engage with her, leading to criticism that he was preventing her from enjoying her moment amid her current musical success. The rapper also made a middle finger gesture toward someone off-camera, which some viewers interpreted as him trying to avoid unwanted attention, possibly due to his recent legal experiences. Fans expressed concern for Mariah, urging Young Thug to let her shine, while others defended his actions as protecting himself from potential probation violations. Despite the controversy, the couple appears to be strengthening their relationship following Young Thug's release from jail and the conclusion of the YSL gang trial. The incident highlights ongoing tensions between Young Thug's public persona, his legal history, and his relationship with Mariah the Scientist.
