Yung Miami DEFENDS Mariah The Scientist and Mocks GloRilla for Being a Colorist |GloRilla CLAPS BACK | HO’

September 2025 – The hip-hop world is no stranger to beef, but the latest clash between Mariah the Scientist, GloRilla, and Yung Miami has taken things to a whole new level. What began as playful rap jabs spiraled into a heated debate about colorism, female loyalty, and the power dynamics among women in hip-hop.

With viral New York Fashion Week clips, Young Thug’s jailhouse insults, GloRilla’s diss tracks, and Yung Miami stepping in to defend Mariah while calling out GloRilla for colorist behavior, the drama is reaching fever pitch. And now, with the City Girls involved, the stakes are higher than ever.

Let’s break down how this beef exploded, why it matters, and what it reveals about the culture right now.

Mariah the Scientist: More Than Thug’s Girlfriend

First, let’s set the record straight: Mariah the Scientist is not just Young Thug’s girlfriend or some side act. She’s a bona fide star in her own right—graduated high school at 16, talented, smart, and stacking real money off her music. She’s navigated Thug’s RICO mess, public humiliation, and still manages to sell out shows and drop critically acclaimed albums.

When GloRilla tried to clown her as “Tweety Bird” in a diss track, it wasn’t just petty shade—it felt like an attack on everything Mariah represents: a resilient, successful woman standing tall despite the chaos.

Fashion Week Goes Viral—and the Shade Begins

It all kicked off at Laquan Smith’s New York Fashion Week show, where Mariah showed up looking like a whole new era of herself—platinum blonde hair, bold cutout dress, and a confidence that turned heads. The industry was buzzing, but social media quickly went left. GloRilla, never one to let a moment pass, threw shade and called Mariah “Tweety Bird.”

The clip went viral, and the nickname stuck, with fans immediately sensing that this was more than a casual joke. It felt like the start of a bigger feud, especially since leaked jailhouse calls between Young Thug and Mariah about GloRilla had already begun circulating.

GloRilla Takes It to the Booth: Diss Track Drama

GloRilla wasted no time and took the shade straight to the studio, dropping a diss track over the beat of Young Jock’s “It’s Goin’ Down.” She didn’t just come for Young Thug—mocking his style, femininity, and nickname (“Young Bug”)—she aimed directly at Mariah, calling her “brain the size of a pea” and clowning her for standing by Thug through cheating rumors.

“Beauty and the freak looking at B. Brain size of a pea looking at B. I don’t care if he cheating at B. Long as he come home to me looking at B.”

The internet flipped out—not just because the bars were savage, but because Mariah and GloRilla were literally on stage together at Hot 107.9’s Birthday Bash in Atlanta just months ago, looking like sisters in the same lane. Now, GloRilla was dragging her in front of the world.

GloRilla insisted it was all fun and games, but fans weren’t buying it—especially after Young Thug’s leaked jailhouse call revealed why she was really mad.

Young Thug’s Jailhouse Call: The Spark That Lit the Fire

In the leaked call, Young Thug didn’t hold back on GloRilla, calling her ugly, clowning her wig, dragging her frame, and saying he’d never pursue her. The words were harsh and cut deep:

“Long ass booish wig, skinny frame, dang big head, big mouth. I wouldn’t pursue her at all. Ever. GloRilla… Why people say she pretty? That be ugly as [ __ ]”

For GloRilla, this was a knife in the back—imagine being compared to Rihanna one week and then having one of Atlanta’s biggest rappers laugh at the idea of even looking your way. So when she hit the booth, she wasn’t just taking random shots; she was responding to Thug’s public humiliation, with Mariah laughing along in the background.

Yung Miami Steps In: Loyalty, Solidarity, and the Colorism Conversation

While GloRilla was clowning and turning pain into bars, Yung Miami popped up with a totally different energy. A viral clip showed her recording Mariah mid-conversation and hyping her up:

“My friend is so pretty. First of all, the walk.”

Mariah stuck her tongue out, smiled, and kept on talking. Fans ate it up, loving Miami’s support and Mariah’s glow despite the drama. But Miami didn’t stop there—she made slick comments shading GloRilla, questioning why her disses always circle back to skin tone and looks instead of talent.

Fans started calling out GloRilla’s bars as colorist, pointing out her history of bragging about being a “red bone” in her lyrics and how her shots at Mariah focused on looks and skin tone rather than artistry.

“Since GloRilla want to be a colorist, this you. Mariah look way better and even Whoopi Goldberg look better. Girl, you got work done. Be effing for real.”

Miami’s defense wasn’t just about loyalty—it was about representation in hip-hop, positioning GloRilla as bitter and insecure, and shining a light on an issue that’s been simmering in the industry for years.

The Colorism Accusation: Hip-Hop’s Ugly Secret

As the beef escalated, the conversation shifted from rap bars to colorism. Fans dissected GloRilla’s diss, noticing that her attacks on Thug were about style and image, but her shots at Mariah were all about looks and skin tone. Some argued that GloRilla was pulling punches because Mariah is lighter-skinned, while others saw it as a pattern of bias.

In an industry where image is everything, being labeled a colorist can be career-ending. Just ask DaniLeigh, who faced backlash after her “Yellow Bone” controversy. Now, GloRilla risks being placed in that same category.

GloRilla CLAPS BACK: Doubling Down or Digging Deeper?

Despite the backlash, GloRilla doubled down, insisting her diss track was just fun and games—a playful banter, not a real attack. But fans weren’t laughing. They pointed out that while she made jokes about Thug, her digs at Mariah felt personal, especially the way she leaned into looks instead of artistry.

Then came the petty twist: GloRilla unfollowed Mariah on socials, sending a clear message that the tension was real. Tweets flooded in, calling Mariah “backstabbing” and GloRilla “bitter,” with the colorist label sticking harder than ever.

Instead of people praising GloRilla’s bars, the conversation was about her insecurities and prejudice—a dangerous spot for any artist trying to build longevity, especially a woman in hip-hop.

Mariah’s Response: Silence Is Golden

Through it all, Mariah played it cool. She didn’t fire back, didn’t drop a clapback song, didn’t even shade GloRilla in interviews. Instead, she focused on her “Heart Sold Separately” tour announcement and kept popping up with Yung Miami, smiling and unbothered. That silence made her look even stronger—above all the haters and drama.

Ironically, GloRilla’s diss track ended up giving Mariah more visibility and sympathy. Miami’s support reframed Mariah as the woman worth protecting, too talented and too smart to be reduced to a “Tweety Bird” diss.

A Bigger Conversation: Image, Loyalty, and Representation in Hip-Hop

This beef might look like just another round of rap disses, but the way it spiraled says a lot about hip-hop right now. We’ve seen it before—Azealia Banks vs. Cardi B, Nicki Minaj vs. Lil Kim—where battles between women turn into bigger cultural conversations about image, respect, and who gets to define beauty.

GloRilla’s bars hit a nerve because they echoed a long-running issue: colorism in the industry. Fans didn’t just hear a joke; they heard a pattern—lighter women being uplifted while darker-skinned women get dragged. Even if GloRilla didn’t mean it that way, perception matters, and right now, perception is turning against her.

Meanwhile, Yung Miami played it smart. She didn’t need to write a diss or hop on a track. All she did was gas up Mariah, mock GloRilla’s insecurity, and let fans do the rest. It was a power move, positioning herself as the one who supports women while letting GloRilla look bitter.

What’s Next?

So where does it go from here? A few possibilities are on the table. GloRilla could double down, keep dropping diss tracks, but risk tanking her image if the colorism narrative grows. Mariah could stay silent, keep stacking tour dates, and come out looking like the classy one. Or Yung Miami might ride this wave to build her own brand back as a defender of women in hip-hop, especially with the City Girls on a shaky run.

Let’s not forget Young Thug is still in the middle of a RICO battle. Every time his name pops up with Mariah or GloRilla, it drags him right back into headlines he doesn’t need.

At the end of the day, this isn’t just about a Tweety Bird joke or a jail call. It’s about two women in hip-hop forced to navigate an industry where looks, tone, and loyalty get weaponized against them. And it’s about how one careless bar can shift an artist from fan favorite to villain overnight.

Mariah played it cool, Yung Miami turned it into a power move, and GloRilla is learning the hard way that once the internet calls you a colorist, the stain doesn’t wash out easy.
