On Thursday’s (October 24) episode of Caresha Please, Mariah the scientist spilled all the tea about her dating life. During her conversation with Yung Miami, the “Spread Thin” singer opened up about her past with Lil Yachty.

“That bastard drove me crazy,” she joked. Mariah then explained that she and Yachty actually met in high school, but didn’t start dating until they were in college. “I felt like his career was taking off and he had all those things. I didn’t know what to do or what to give him because I was just a broke student,” the singer said.

“I thought, ‘Well, he likes music.’ I like music. Let me make him a song.’ So that’s what I did. I made him two different songs, put them on an iPod, (and) I gave it to him, I signed the bag. “It was really sweet,” Mariah continued on the talk show. “He told me he didn’t want to listen to it…He said, ‘I don’t want to hear you, so I won’t listen to that shit.'”

Before her breakthrough, Mariah studied to be an anesthesiologist at St. John’s University in New York, hence the nickname. The science-related motifs later appeared on “Beetlejuice” and “Reminders” from the artist’s 2019 debut project MASTER.

Since their relationship, both the “Always n Forever” singer and Yachty have moved on. The Grammy nominee famously cheated on City Girls’ JT a few years ago, while Mariah began dating Young Thug in 2021.

“It’s sweet, you know. I love him,” Mariah said Complex about the founder of YSL Records, who is currently fighting a RICO case. “It’s a bit like (from a distance), but I see him in court… Sometimes I fall asleep there. I just go there to breathe his air… I love my husband, yes. I love him.”
