The internet is no stranger to leaked content, and recently, a private video call between rapper Young Thug and singer Mariah The Scientist, which took place during Thug’s time in jail, was leaked to the public.
The leaked call, posted on a YouTube channel called Phone Calls From Prison, has sparked mixed reactions from artists and fans alike. While some find it intriguing, others, including prominent figures like Meek Mill and Drake, have expressed their concerns about the invasion of privacy.
On January 23, Phone Calls From Prison uploaded the entire video conversation between Young Thug and Mariah The Scientist, recorded during their visit on Christmas day. The video, which captures their intimate moments, showcases their love for each other and even features Thug gifting Mariah with jewelry. As soon as clips from the call started circulating on the internet, it quickly became a topic of discussion among fans and fellow artists.
The leaked call has generated a range of reactions within the music industry. Some artists, like Meek Mill and Drake, have expressed their disapproval of the invasion of privacy. They argue that personal conversations, especially those taking place during a difficult time like incarceration, should remain private and not be exploited for entertainment purposes. Others, however, find the leaked call intriguing, as it offers a glimpse into the personal lives of these two influential figures.
Meek tweets this Thursday morning, “This a top tier lawsuit your personal call not suppose to be on the street!” Drake also said under DJ Akademik’s post, “This gotta be some form of jail misconduct you gonna drag this talented man then not be able to control vour employees using his personal business for their own gain? Somebody benefitted from this video even existing and that’s shameful whole case is a wash just 3 the guy and let him come home and continue bringing light to Atlanta.”

Young Thug’s Legal Situation:
Young Thug has been behind bars since his arrest in 2022 on RICO charges. His trial began last year and has faced several delays, including a lengthy jury selection process and incidents involving his co-defendants. Throughout this time, Young Thug’s legal team has been working diligently to navigate the complexities of the case. As of now, neither Young Thug’s legal team nor Mariah The Scientist has commented on the leaked call.
However, Mariah recently spoke about their love after lockup in an interview. During an appearance on the Way Up With Angela Yee podcast, the singer said, “Jail solidified our relationship,” Mariah The Scientist told the hosts. “I’m willing to wait it out because I feel like he’s the one. If I didn’t really see that in him, I probably wouldn’t.”
