ATLANTA (AP) — A hometown concert in Atlanta turned into a major personal moment when Young Thug proposed to Mariah The Scientist onstage, surprising fans and quickly going viral.
The proposal happened Wednesday night at State Farm Arena during the “Hometown Hero: Young Thug & Friends” show. Midway through the set, Young Thug brought Mariah onstage, stopped the music and dropped to one knee as “Will You Marry Me?” appeared on the arena’s screens.
Mariah accepted as the crowd erupted. Videos from inside the venue spread across Instagram, TikTok and X within minutes.
The engagement follows a turbulent year for the couple. Young Thug and Mariah The Scientist stayed in the public eye amid his ongoing legal case and renewed attention after leaked jail phone calls circulated earlier this year. Reports previously said the two briefly separated before reconnecting.
Mariah, known for emotionally open music, has spoken in interviews about wanting stability and intention in her personal life. Many fans viewed the proposal as a turning point after months of speculation.
Reaction online was mixed but loud. Supporters called the moment romantic. Critics questioned whether a concert stage was the right setting. Either way, the proposal dominated online conversation throughout the night.
Neither Young Thug nor Mariah The Scientist has released a formal statement. Still, the moment has already become one of the year’s most talked-about live music scenes.
As Mariah continues touring and Young Thug prepares future projects, attention now turns to what comes next for the couple.
