Meet Mariah the Scientist, the R&B songstress who counts Rihanna as a fan – but is she still with Young Thug?

The singer once worked at Hooters and wrote music inspired by Lil Yachty – and she recently stunned in a Dior dress at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show
The star was iced out with diamonds on her neck and ears, but her hairstyle stole the spotlight, with the dual tones of copper and platinum blonde complementing her stunning features.

A few days after the show, the musician was reportedly spotted with her supposed ex-boyfriend, rapper Young Thug, at a party hosted by fellow rapper Ty Dolla Sign for the release of his fourth studio album, Tycoon.
What’s her background?

Mariah the Scientist, whose real name is Mariah Amani Buckles, grew up in Atlanta with her parents and her sister, Morgan, who is now her manager, per Highsnobiety. Her father, who worked in the police force, and her mother, who worked for the church, separated when she was young.
After graduating from high school early, she attended St John’s University in Queens, New York, on a partial scholarship. She was studying biology and aspired to become a paediatric anaesthesiologist.
How did she get into music?
