Welcome, everyone. The talented singer Mariah the Scientist finds herself embroiled in controversy, accused of throwing shade at Young Miami. Recently, Young Miami gained attention on social media for her debut acting role in the show BMF. One particular scene from the series sparked widespread discussion:
Mitch: “Where’s my husband?”
Young Miami: “Shooting. I shot a club. Make it right, promise. I want whoever did this to pay.”
Now, onto Mariah the Scientist’s involvement. Taking to Twitter, she quipped, “I feel like I could have said ‘meet where is my husband'”. This comment seemed to imply that the role required minimal acting skill, leading Mariah to jest that she could have portrayed the character just as well. It was intended as a lighthearted addition to an ongoing Twitter conversation filled with jests and memes about the scene.
However, Young Miami interpreted Mariah’s remark as shady and expressed confusion, stating, “I’m trying to figure out what this means.” In response, she playfully critiqued Mariah’s singing ability, suggesting that Mariah’s delivery of “well well” in her song with Des Dior, ‘Stone Cold’, could have been improved. The reference to the song was accompanied by a light-hearted jab, indicating that Young Miami possesses her own comedic charm, even unintentionally.
Following the backlash from her tweet, Mariah the Scientist took to Instagram Live to clarify her intentions and defend her stance.
Mariah recently expressed frustration over the reactions she receives every time she tweets something. Regardless of the content, she feels it always stirs up controversy. She describes the constant inquiries about her husband and the persistent need for drama surrounding her tweets. Mariah emphasizes her admiration for Young Miami and the City Girls, clarifying that her comments are not intended as shade.
While some may interpret her words as shady, it’s likely Mariah feels she could have expressed herself better. Perhaps her remarks are also a subtle attempt to vie for a role in the show BMF, known for its diverse casting choices. Given the show’s history of hiring various talents, Mariah humorously suggests that 50 Cent should consider casting her.

Recent social media discourse has sparked a comparison between Coco Jones and Normani, with allegations of shading directed at Jones. The crux of the issue revolves around unearthed audio featuring Jones discussing Fifth Harmony, the former group of Normani. In the conversation, Jones addresses the challenges faced by the group, shedding light on the industry’s darker side, including overwork, underpayment, sexual harassment, and stringent control, particularly affecting Normani as the sole black member.
Additionally, leaked audio attributed to a Fifth Harmony member, allegedly Lauren Jauregui, highlights internal grievances, describing the group’s treatment as akin to “literal slaves.” These revelations underscore the tumultuous experiences endured behind the scenes by the members. Jones, drawing from her own industry experiences, shares insights into the systemic hurdles faced, particularly as a dark-skinned black girl in the entertainment industry.
However, some have criticized Jones’ remarks as dismissive, especially her preference for Camila Cabello over the other members, including Normani, despite Cabello’s history of racism. This has sparked discomfort among Normani’s supporters, who feel Jones’ comments undermine Normani’s experiences.
In response, social media users have expressed varying opinions, with some defending Jones while others challenge her stance. Criticism has been directed towards Jones for what some perceive as overlooking Normani’s encounters with racism. Others highlight Jones’ own struggles within the industry and the need to acknowledge the complexities of fame and success.
Ultimately, the discourse reflects broader conversations within the entertainment industry regarding racism, representation, and the treatment of artists, prompting reflection on the challenges faced by performers, particularly those from marginalized backgrounds.
Some amusing remarks were made by individuals in the conversation. One mentioned, “It’s been said from various sources that during Coco’s downtime, she spent time on Station Head critiquing artists, including Normani. I’ve listened to a couple of videos, and yeah, she’s quite candid.” Another person added, “If Normani ever made comments like ‘it’s giving cute slave’ or ‘combatting misogyny’ or even hinted at Coco Jones’ Disney days’ highs and lows, everyone would criticize her. So, why is it that people think it’s okay to overlook Coco’s actions? I mean, Coco is entitled to prefer Camila, but have you noticed how everyone seems to target Normani without reason? It’s perplexing.”
Honestly, some fans may have been stretching the interpretation a bit. It’s possible they don’t fully grasp Coco’s personality. Coco is sharp-witted, incredibly expressive, and sometimes a tad unfiltered, but her intentions are harmless. She was merely expressing an opinion, and her delivery might have seemed overly blunt to some, leading them to perceive her as throwing shade at Normani. However, I don’t believe that was her true intention. It seems more like she was speaking from her own experiences. She holds this belief that one must have thick skin, persevere, and face whatever challenges come their way, likely because that’s what she had to do herself. To her, once you achieve a certain level of success, complaining seems ungrateful. That’s the vibe I got from her remarks. It’s possible she was projecting her own perspective, but I don’t think she meant to dismiss Normani or anyone else from Fifth Harmony intentionally.
Nevertheless, celebrities must exercise caution when commenting on their peers because their words can easily be blown out of proportion. If someone else had made the same remark, it probably wouldn’t have sparked such a debate. But because it was Coco, it’s become a topic of discussion. However, I genuinely believe she didn’t intend any harm, and she has indeed praised Normani and other peers like Chloe and Halle in the past. She’s far from being a hater. As I said at the start and will reiterate, when it comes to serving talent, Normani and Chloe are unmatched, right? Who are we kidding? It’s common knowledge that if anyone’s advocating for black girls, it’s me. Thank you. Oh, and Halle too, my apologies.
What I admire about Normani is that she’s a reflection of myself, you know? She commands the stage effortlessly, exudes femininity, is charming and vivacious – those are the kind of girls I’m drawn to. Those are the ones I’d love to hang out with. Clearly, Coco Jones has always shown support for Normani, and Normani herself has acknowledged Coco’s talent. When Coco covered Normani’s song ‘Wild Side’, Normani cheered her on in the comments. So, there’s no feud between them, no animosity. It seems like some fans are stirring up trouble needlessly, and they should stop.
