'I don't know what you wore on the first date because you stood me up,' Thug said. 'How about that? I don't know what you had on.' Mariah was taken aback and denied skipping out on the date. 'This is crazy,' she replied. 'No I did not.'
When they settled on their real first date, there was still a debate over what Mariah had on, as Thug suggested she had on black attire at an all-white affair.
'I had on white and some jeans,' she said. 'Zero points. Ain't had no black on. My pants was kinda dark.'
Young Thug was released from jail on Halloween (Oct. 31) after being arrested as part of the YSL RICO case in May 2022. Mariah made appointment visits to support her man and hold him down during his incarceration.
Last month, Mariah earned her highest-charting hit on the Billboard Hot 100 when 'Burning Blue' debuted at No. 25. As for Thug, fans are anticipating his UY SCUTI album, which he joked with GQ that the project would be released on June 37.
Watch the full Couples Quiz below. Talk about Thug and Mariah's first date takes place around 4:20.

Judge Approves Return of Young Thug's Seized Property After YSL Trial
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A judge ordered that possessions seized from Young Thug during the YSL trial be returned, allowing the rapper to regain several vehicles, cash and assorted jewelry. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Paige Whitaker on Monday ruled in favor of a defense motion regarding the items, which included $149,426 in cash, a 2022 Chevrolet Corvette, 2022 Porsche 911 and 2018 Lamborghini Aventador. The state can appeal the ruling. Why It Matters Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffery Williams, and 27 others were indicted in 2022 on charges related to racketeering conspiracy and participation in criminal street gang activity, along with drug and gun violations. Prosecutors alleged that the defendants were associated with the gang YSL, or Young Slime Life. Young Thug performs during the Summer Smash Music Festival on June 22, 2025, in Bridgeview, Illinois.

Photo by Rob Grabowski/Invision/AP What To Know Prior to the hearing, Williams' lawyers filed a motion to dismiss the forfeiture complaint related to the seized property. The lawyers claimed in the motion obtained by FOX 5 Atlanta that prosecutors failed to hold a hearing within 60 days of a court order lifting a stay on the forfeiture proceedings. Prosecutors argued in a response that Williams' lawyers had requested a continuance of a hearing in May and did not oppose the new date until the filing of the motion to dismiss. In October 2024, Williams pleaded guilty to most charges but pleaded no contest to conspiracy to violate the RICO Act and participation in criminal street gang activity. His plea deal ended his part of the YSL trial, which began in November 2023. He was sentenced to five years in prison commuted to time served and 15 years' probation, followed by 20 years in prison, and released. The backloaded prison sentence will be commuted if Williams complies with the terms of his probation. What People Are Saying Fulton County Deputy District Attorney Jeff DiSantis, in a statement sent to FOX 5 Atlanta: "While we are gratified that the defendant will not be receiving gang-related jewelry back, we are perplexed that Judge Whitaker dismissed the case based on a timeline requested by defense counsel and a date the court set for trial." Leigh Ann Webster, attorney for Jeffery Williams, on X: "Done & done! We got all of his stuff back. But to be clear, even if we had gotten to the merits, we should have won that too. It was such a thrill to work with Brian Steel on this, the best lawyer around. A true honor that he let me join the team." What Happens Next DiSantis said the Fulton County District Attorney's Office is "evaluating the case now for possible appeal considering that strange procedural history."

All the 2025 MTV VMAs Performers, From Sabrina Carpenter to Sombr
MTV's Video Music Awards have been the catalyst for some of pop culture's most iconic performances, from Michael Jackson's medley in 1995 to Lady Gaga's bloody opera for 'Paparazzi' in 2009. Of course, you can't ever mention the beloved awards show without acknowledging Beyoncé, Britney Spears, and Taylor Swift's era-defining moments. The list goes on, and after a legendary lineup at the 2024 VMAs (Ahem: Chappell Roan, Katy Perry, and GloRilla, to name a few), we are simply seated for this year's ceremony. This year's show is set to take place on Sunday, September 7, and marks the first time it will air on both MTV and CBS. We'll see a mix of breakout stars and VMA vets take the stage at New York's UBS Arena, from Alex Warren and Sombr to Sabrina Carpenter and Ricky Martin. Check out all the artists performing at the 2025 MTV VMAs so you don't miss a beat. Ricky is a multihyphenate in every sense, thanks to his Latin Grammy-winning music and coveted acting roles to his humanitarian work over the years. That's why he's the first artist to be honored with the VMAs' Latin Icon Award. It's been 26 years since his first performance in 1999, when he took home 5 Moon Person awards and made history as the first male Latin artist to win for Best Pop Video. Busta Rhymes will also be honored with the first-ever MTV VMA Rock the Bells Visionary Award, which celebrates his boundary-breaking cultural impact in Hip-Hop and beyond. The 'Touch It' artist was also a Global Icon honoree at last year's EMAs. He last performed at the show in 2021, when he closed it out with a rapid-fire medley of his greatest hits. Hot off her legendary headlining set at Lollapalooza, Sabrina is returning to the VMAs after the release of her seventh album, Man's Best Friend. Last year, she hit the main stage for the first time to perform a medley of tracks off Short n' Sweet. She's also up for eight awards this year, including Video of the Year for 'Manchild.' Rising star sombr has definitely hit your Spotify algorithm thanks to his three (!!!) simultaneous hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, 'undressed,' 'back to friends,' and '12 to 12.' This marks his awards show debut, as well as his first-ever VMA noms for Best New Artist and Best Alternative. The MTV PUSH artist's breakout hit, 'Ordinary,' has pretty much been everywhere and even earned a stamp of approval from Lana Del Rey at Stagecoach earlier this year. Naturally, the track has topped the Billboard Hot 100 for 27 weeks and spent 10 of those weeks at number one. Latin powerhouse J Balvin hasn't hit the VMAs stage since 2022, but he's coming back this year thanks to his track with DJ Snake, 'Noventa,' and his latest collab with Justin Quiles and Lenny Tavárez, 'Zun Zun.' The 13-time nominee is looking to earn his sixth Moon Person award as he's nominated for 'Rio' in the Best Latin category.
