Mariah the Scientist, singer and girlfriend of Young Thug, has spoken out with gratitude amid the news of his release on October 31. “This is more than what we prayed for. We are so grateful, this is the greatest opportunity we’ve ever been presented with,” Mariah shared in a statement with reporter Michael Seiden. “I cannot say it enough, I cannot repay you for this. You have changed our lives, Jeffery’s life and mine.” The couple recently celebrated their third anniversary earlier this month before the news broke on Thursday that Thug would be granted parole for 15 years after accepting a plea deal, allowing for his release.
Other rappers like former collaborators Travis Scott, Kid Cudi, and T.I have all celebrated the news of his homecoming. Read all their full tributes below.
