Mariah the Scientist, an R&B artist who’s been romantically linked to Young Thug, has firmly divided Twitter with a recent photoshoot she did for Galore.
‘The Art Of Being A Woman’
It all went down on Tuesday when the shoot and accompanying interview, which were previewed last week, were released.
The overall theme of the photoshoot appeared to be centered on Mariah the Scientist portraying a woman visiting a partner in jail. Some of the standout aspects of the pictures include Mariah appearing to expose her breasts, as well as the incorporation of a random baby.
We should also add that the title of the feature was “The Art of Being a Woman.”

Mariah was even accused of “cosplaying as a prison wife” and using Thugger’s situation for clout.

mariah the scientist is trying to make her dating thugger a bigger factor in her career than it needs to be like I’m confused, are you trying to be known for being a rappers gf or an…r&b singer?

The presence of a random baby, along with the title of the feature, also put some off.
very embarrassing for Mariah the Scientist to pose holding a baby (that isn’t even hers) in a prison waiting for her man & having it be titled “the art of being a woman”. like huh?????

One user humorously noted the disparity between people’s reactions.

Despite the support, the backlash appears to have gotten back to Mariah, as she tweeted, “Everything I do get y’all tight, hate that for you.”
