Thug quickly addressed the video on X (formerly Twitter), downplaying any romantic connection with Leena. He referred to her as his “twin” and dismissed the idea of being interested in anyone but Mariah The Scientist.

Leena’s Clarifications
Leena took to Instagram Stories to assert that she is fully committed to her “baby daddy,” Devin Haney, and hasn’t spoken to Thug romantically. Despite her clarifications, the internet continued to buzz, dissecting Thug’s tweets and Leena’s posts.
Young Thug’s Public Apology

“Sorry to my baby for all this bullsh*t on the internet. I love u baby and f**k em all we know what’s up with us.”
However, it seems Mariah may not have been quick to forgive, as Thug later tweeted about her curt response to his Christmas greeting:
“She so mad, I said Merry Christmas and she said thank u.”
Another Jail Call Emerges
Adding to the drama, Law & Crime released a second jail call on Christmas Eve, where Thug discussed his relationship with Mariah with a male visitor. He admitted that Mariah loves him deeply and would be devastated if he hurt her, reinforcing that he’s in love with her.
