Adin Ross Confirms Young Thug Livestream Cancellation
Adin Ross addressed his viewers on September 7 following the cancellation of a highly anticipated livestream with Young Thug. The announcement came hours after the Atlanta rapper publicly apologized to his girlfriend, Mariah The Scientist, after jailhouse phone calls were leaked in which he admitted to infidelity. Thug and Mariah have been dating since October 2021.
Ross told his audience, “I’m sorry chat. It’s not in my control. Young Thug wanna do it at a better time.” He clarified that the decision was entirely Thug’s and framed it as a measure to allow the rapper to manage his narrative amid ongoing controversy.
The streamer emphasized that money or exposure was not a factor. “He a real one tho, he didn’t wanna do it for $,” Ross said, highlighting Thug’s focus on privacy and repairing his relationship with Mariah rather than using the situation for clout.
Ross reassured fans that the livestream is not canceled permanently. “It’ll happen another time,” he said, indicating that the collaboration will resume when Thug is ready to engage publicly. The rapper’s reluctance to participate showed a preference for retreating from the public eye rather than addressing the scandal in real time.
Ross framed Thug’s stance as a conscious choice to move past the drama. “He not tryna talk about this shit anymore and move on,” he said. This echoed Thug’s own statements on X, where he asked fans to respect Mariah’s privacy and avoid dragging her into the controversy.
The cancellation underscores a rare decision by a major artist to prioritize personal matters over monetizing attention. For Adin Ross, it represents a temporary setback, while for Thug, it signals a commitment to manage his public image carefully as he prepares for his upcoming album, Uy Scuti.
