Lil Yachty on His Past Relationship With Mariah the Scientist: ‘I Was a Sh*t Person to Her’

Lil Yachty admits he wasn’t a good partner to Mariah the Scientist.

In a new interview for the Club Shay Shay podcast, Shannon Sharpe brought up 27-year-old Yachty’s ex Mariah, also 27, around the 2-hour, 7-minute mark in the video linked above.

Although he didn’t mention her name, it was obvious that Sharpe was referring to comments Mariah made to Yung Miami for an October episode of Caresha Please.

“I was a shit person to her,” Yachty said. “She was really great. So great, so I get it. She was a great person though, man.”

He continued, “That’s the first time she ever spoke on us, ever, publicly. I honestly think she was pretty respectful. She didn’t shit on me, you know? I know what you’re talking about, but I brought it upon myself. She ain’t tell no lies.”

When pressed about whether he apologized to Mariah, Yachty gave a vague response. He suggested he may have but wasn’t entirely sure given how long ago they dated.

“Our relationship is such a long span, you know? Since high school, so it’s long and blurry,” he said. “YOLO, bro. Shout out to her. Tons of love. And I respect her.”

Mariah confirmed she dated Yachty on Caresha Please and said they had met in high school but only started dating when she was in college.

“I met him in high school, though by the time I got to college we started dating a little bit or whatever, and I felt his career was taking off and he had all these things. … I didn’t know what to do, like, or what I could give him, ’cause I was just a broke college student,” Mariah recalled.

“So I thought, ‘Well, he likes music, I like music, let me make him a song.’ And so that’s what I did, I made him two different songs and I put them on the iPod and I gifted it to him. I signed the back, it was real cute.”

But after Yachty received the iPod, he told her he didn’t want to listen to the songs.

“He told me he did not want to listen to it because he didn’t want to shit on me,” she added. “At the time, I was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. … Like, you make music so you feel like maybe this is stepping on your toes, people around you be trying to do shit like that, and maybe you felt like I was trying to infringe on that area of your life.”

Although she never brought up the songs again, two of her close friends encouraged Mariah to pursue music herself, and the rest is history. She has been dating Young Thug, 33, since 2021.
