Lil Yachty Admits to Treating Mariah The Scientist Poorly When They Dated
During an appearance on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast, Lil Yachty opened up about how badly he treated singer Mariah The Scientist while they were dating. His honest confession was a notable change from how he previously talked about their relationship.
“I was a s— person to her and she was really great, so great, so I get it,” Yachty said in an interview on Club Shay Shay. “She was a great person, though, man.

She didn’t tell no lies. … Shouts out to her. Tons of love, and I respect her.”
They first met in high school and started dating during their college days. The relationship ended when Yachty’s music career took off.
Just last year, Yachty tried to shut down rumors about their relationship. “Why do y’all keep trying me over this woman… I been [quiet] for so long but please stop making up this weird a– false narrative,” he wrote in an annoyed post.

Looking back now, Yachty appreciates how his ex-girlfriend kept quiet while he publicly denied they were ever together.
These days, he accepts blame for causing drama about their past relationship, while thanking her for handling everything gracefully.
