ATLANTA, GA - Mariah The Scientist is set to head to trial after pleading not guilty to attacking a woman in a nightclub earlier this year.
According to court documents, the singer (real name Mariah Buckles) and her attorney Brian Steel filed a waiver of arrangement, pleading not guilty to the battery charge and demanding a trial by jury.
Mariah is accused of assaulting Cleopatra Dues, the mother of one of her boyfriend Young Thug‘s children, though the two never had any interaction before the alleged battery.
Mariah has not publicly commented on the incident which happened at the Cavo Kitchen and Cocktail Lounge in Atlanta in March.
According to the police report, the “Spread Thin” singer grabbed Dues and ripped her wig off her head before dragging her around the bar, causing injuries to her legs.
The alleged incident was also captured on video by onlookers, but it is unclear if it is actually Mariah in the clip.
Dues has said she does not know why she was attacked by the musician.
In other news, Mariah The Scientist recently had Young Thug thirsting over her from inside his jail cell.
The currently incarcerated rapper, who is on trial for racketeering charges, posted a picture of Mariah on his X account along with the caption: “All I want. All I see.”
A jail call between the couple was also leaked earlier this year.
In the clip, which appeared to be from around Christmas, Mariah thanks Thugga for gifting her jewelry and tells him how much she misses him.
“What’s up, baby? Merry Christmas,” she says before blowing a kiss in Thug’s direction. “I love you. I miss you and I love you. Thanks for my gifts.”
Thug returns the love and asks: “Them chains heavy?” to which Mariah replies: “They’re heavier than the bracelets for sure. I miss you.” Thug adds: “I thought the Cubans were bigger too. They 14 I think.”
“I like it a lot, I’m very appreciative. Thanks babe,” Mariah says. “I miss you. I wish that you could be at home with me. You could put it on me. I miss you.”
Thug then tells Mariah she’s “beautiful” and “looks like a rapper now.”
At the end of the clip, Mariah says: “Daddy, am I your baby?” in a child-like voice, with Young Thug responding: “Most definitely.”

Beyoncé‘s Cowboy Carter is reportedly set to compete in the country category at the 2025 Grammys, following major snubs from the likes of the Country Music Awards and the People’s Choice Country Awards.
The Hollywood Reporter announced that the album had been accepted into the category by the Recording Academy on Wednesday (October 2). While other nominees have yet to be revealed, she’s likely to go up against the likes of Post Malone, Chris Stapleton, Lainey Wilson, Zach Bryan, Kacey Musgraves and Moroney.
Cowboy Carter is also expected be nominated for album of the year.
This will be Beyoncé’s first time competing in a country category at the awards, as she was previously denied her 2017 submission for Lemonade‘s “Daddy Lessons” to be on the ballot for Best Country Song.
Cowboy Carter has been a major commercial success since its release in March. The album debuted atop the Billboard 200 tally with 407,000 equivalent album units in its first week, making for the biggest sales week of 2024 at the time – though it has since been one-upped by Taylor Swift’s latest effort.
Twenty three of the album’s 27 songs also made it to the Billboard Hot 100 chart, bringing the Houston native’s career total Billboard Hot 100 songs to 106. She is now just the 17th artist and only the third woman to score over 100 entries since the Hot 100 was launched in 1958.
But despite this, Beyoncé was snubbed completely at the 2024 Country Music Awards – receiving zero nominations.
She then came out empty handed at the 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards – despite receiving the second highest number of nominations this year.
Ahead of the event, which went down on September 26, Bey was up for a staggering 17 nominations for the album.
All winners at the People’s Country Music Awards — a self-proclaimed “award show for the people and by the people” — were decided by fan votes during a pretty tight voting period, which started on August 13 and ended August 23.
But despite the impressive amount of nods, she walked away 0 for 17. She was, however, mentioned by Cowboy Carter-featured artist Shaboozey during his acceptance speech, who thanked the superstar singer for “being amazing.”
