Young Thug is clearing up who the woman in his life is after a video of his jail cell being checked by guards went viral. In the video, a guard is checking Thugger’s belongings assumingly so for any contraband. As the guard flips through the rapper’s books, newspapers, and mattress, photos on the wall show photos of R&B singer Mariah the Scientist, whom he is currently dating. However, fans took a closer look to see that the rapper’s Jerrika Karlae was also featured in his jail cell.

Young Thug broke his silence on the matter with a post on X (formerly known as Twitter) with a post of Mariah the Scientist writing, “All I want. All I see.”

Fans noticed that he has also used that caption for his ex and screenshotted the post as a reply.

“What’s up, baby. Merry Christmas,” Mariah says before blowing a kiss to the rapper. “I love you. I miss you and I love you. Thanks for my gifts.”

Thug says that he loves and misses her too and then asks: “Them chains heavy?”

Mariah responds: “They’re heavier than the bracelets for sure. I miss you.”

Thug says, “I thought the Cubans were bigger too. They 14 I think.”

“I like it a lot, I’m very appreciative. Thanks babe,” Mariah responds. “I miss you. I wish that you could be at home with me. You could put it on me. I miss you.”

Drake even commented on the video circulating, saying that it was an invasion of privacy.

“This gotta be some form of jail misconduct,” he wrote in a comment on DJ Akademiks’ Instagram post of the leak phone call. “You gonna drag this talented man then not be able to control your 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.”

Drake then took a screenshot of his comments and posted it to his own Instagram Story adding, “S— is disgraceful… is this a criminal case or Atlanta social media promo Ural Glanville?”
