A clip of Young Thug and his boo Mariah The Scientist at the 2025 BET Awards is going viral, and not in a good way.
The couple, who have been together since 2021, skipped posing for red carpet photos, and fans are now calling out Young Thug for how he treated Mariah during the moment.
In the video, Thug is seen holding Mariah's hand tightly and pulling her past photographers without stopping. He's wearing a black suit and a creepy Leatherface-style mask, while Mariah looked stunning in a short, backless green dress. At one point, a photographer calls out to Mariah, but Thug quickly shuts it down, saying, 'We're not doing that, c'mon,' and flips someone off before dragging her along. Mariah looked back a few times, almost like she wasn't sure if she should go.
Fans online didn't hold back. 'He's literally dragging her along as if people wouldn't want pictures of her too,' one user wrote. Many pointed out that Mariah stood by Thug while he was in jail, and now that he's out, she deserves her own spotlight too.
Young Thug has been making headlines recently for popping up on other rappers' tracks, showing that he's still active in music despite his legal issues. He's been featured on songs with his ATL fam, Future and Lil Baby. Thugger fans were excited to see him back, but this video has shifted the conversation. Meanwhile, Mariah the Scientist has been doing her thing too. She just dropped a new single called 'Burning Blue', which has been getting love for its emotional lyrics and smooth vibe.
Neither of them has said anything about the viral video yet, but it's clear people are paying attention. While some think it was just a stressful moment, others believe it showed a bigger issue. Either way, fans are hoping Mariah gets the respect and recognition she deserves.

The 10 best shark movies to bite into this summer

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Shark movies are ten-a-penny these days, but there are few fishy flicks that truly do the monster of the ocean justice. With that in mind, it can be difficult to find a hard-hitting shark movie in a sea of sillier finny films. But that's where we come in, with our ranking of the best shark movies to bite into this summer. And what better time to dive into this list than on the 50th anniversary of one of the best shark movies ever, Jaws. Below, we have ranked the 10 best shark movies, from pics inspired by real-life shark attack stories such as Open Water, to movies that use real footage of sharks in all their glory, like The Reef and this year's brand new entry, Dangerous Animals. But be warned, if you're looking for more satirical sharky tales, head on over to our 11 big dumb shark movies list, as the ranking below is as serious as a shark attack. So what are you waiting for? Slip into your wetsuit and take the plunge into our ranking of the best shark movies that celebrate one of the most misunderstood creatures of our time, and transcend horror, thriller, and even animation genres. Just don't kick your feet too much! Year: 1983Director: Joe Alves Although this is one of the weaker entries in the Jaws franchise, Jaws 3-D makes it onto this list just for that memorable glass-breaking scene alone, and the impact it has had on pop culture. I mean, who can forget that cardboard-looking shark floating through the ocean? Dodgy special effects aside, the third Jaws entry is still a decent shark movie. Directed by Jaws' production designer Joe Alves, Jaws 3-D follows a group of marine biologists attempting to capture a young great white shark, but they run into trouble when its angry mother comes looking for revenge. The movie differs from its predecessors in the fact that it steers away from the classic shark attack in the middle of the ocean scenario, and was perhaps ahead of its time in highlighting how theme parks such as SeaWorld may not be such a good idea. Jaws 3-D is available to stream on Peacock in the US and on ITVX in the UK. For more movies about ferocious beasts, see our list of the best monster movies. Year: 2017Director: Johannes Roberts If you needed another reason not to go cage diving with sharks, this is it. Starring The Vampire Diaries' Claire Holt and Disney's Rapunzel herself, Mandy Moore, 47 Meters Down follows two sisters whose vacation to Mexico turns into a trip from hell as they get stuck in a cage at the bottom of shark-infested waters. Not only does 47 Meters Down include some blood-pumping chase scenes and make you feel seriously claustrophobic, but the survival horror film also explores a highly relatable, strained sister dynamic between the two lead characters. 47 Meters Down is available to stream on Prime Video in the US and on Now in the UK. For more, see our list of the best thriller movies. Year: 2016Director: Jaume Collet-Serra Next up is The Shallows, as it wouldn't be right not to include this high-concept, one-woman (and a seagull) thriller on our best shark movies list. Starring A Simple Favor star Blake Lively, The Shallows follows a surfer who decides to escape her problems, and the recent death of her mother by heading to a secluded beach. But her surf sesh is cut short when she is suddenly attacked by a great white shark, leaving her stranded on a piece of reef far away from the shore. Differing from other shark attack movies such as Soul Surfer, this tense game of cat and mouse looks at how shark attack victims react to a brush with death in the moment, and what they will do to survive. The Shallows is available to stream on Starz in the US and on Netflix in the UK. For more movies led by girls as tough as the coral reef, check out our list of the 100 greatest female characters in movies. Year: 2010Director: Andrew Traucki So, we've looked at how sharks can attack in the water, in a cage, on a surfboard, but are we at least safe on a boat? No, it looks like we're not, as the main characters in The Reef learned this the hard way. While sailing to Indonesia, a group of friends capsize, leaving them stranded in the ocean. Matters only get worse when they attempt to swim to land, attracting the attention of a huge great white shark. The Reef is one of the few true horror movies on this list and will have you hiding behind your blanket. What makes this 2010 flick even scarier is that it's inspired by the true story of Ray Boundy, who survived a shark attack when his boat capsized. Sadly, his friends were not so fortunate. The Reef is available to stream on Philo in the US and on Shudder in the UK. For more, check out our list of the best horror movies. Year: 2021Director: Sally Aitken But sharks aren't all bad, and in real life, shark attacks are actually quite rare. It is no secret that sharks are one of the most misunderstood creatures on the planet, and that's exactly what National Geographic's award-winning documentary Playing With Sharks sets out to prove. Playing with Sharks celebrates underwater filmmaking pioneer and shark researcher Valerie Taylor, whose life's work has become the basis for much of what we know about sharks today. The documentary uses underwater archival footage, interviews, and input from Valerie herself to bring the ocean explorer's work to the screen. Playing With Sharks is available to stream on Disney Plus. For more, check out our list of the best movies on Disney Plus. Year: 1999Director: Renny Harlin When you think of classic shark movies, you first think of Jaws. But a close second is Renny Harlin's action-packed Deep Blue Sea. The 1999 film reintroduced the fear of the oceanic unknown to a whole new generation, without ever taking itself too seriously. The movie is set in a murky underwater facility where a team of scientists set out to conduct research on mako sharks to help fight Alzheimer's disease. But the experiment is cut short when multiple genetically engineered sharks revolt, setting their sights on the scientists themselves. Deep Blue Sea provided some of the most memorable shark scenes in movie history, such as Stellan Skarsgård's hand being bitten off and Samuel L Jackson's becoming a tasty afternoon snack for a great white. Deep Blue Sea is available to stream on Netflix in the UK. For more, read our Deep Blue Sea review. Year: 2003Director: Chris Kentis Now, we hope you weren't planning on sleeping too soundly tonight, as we regret to inform you that No. 4 on our list is also based on a true story. Released in 2003, Open Water follows a couple who get left behind on a scuba diving trip. With no boat, no way home, and energy running out, the duo's fight for survival is made harder when they realize they are treading shark-infested waters. The film is loosely based on Tom and Eileen Lonergan's real-life nightmare on the Great Barrier Reef in 1998. Open water also used real sharks, specifically Caribbean reef sharks, to achieve a greater sense of realism. Open water is available to stream on FuboTV in the US. For more, read our Open Water review. Year: 1978Director: Jeannot Szwarc It's no surprise that yet another Jaws movie has made it onto this list, but we're not covering the big kahuna yet. First comes the 1978 sequel, aptly named Jaws 2, which attempted to replicate the success of the first movie by returning to Amity Island years after the first set of horrific shark attacks. Although Jaws 2 doesn't quite live up to its predecessor (but let's be real, what does?), the sequel continues Police Chief Martin Brody and his family's story. We just cannot believe that the locals of Amity didn't believe Brody when he reported the shark attacks again. Short memory, much? Jaws 2 is available to stream on Peacock in the US and on ITVX in the UK. Year: 2025Director: Sean Byrne The newest movie on this list is so fresh, it's still out in cinemas! But believe us when we tell you that it's worth hitting pause on your summer vacation to go and see Dangerous Animals in theaters, as this is a shark horror movie like no other. Directed by The Devil's Candy's Sean Byrne, Dangerous Animals flips the shark horror genre on its head by swapping the typical gilled villain for a man. The movie follows nomad surfer Zephyr, who gets abducted by a shark-obsessed serial killer and held captive on his boat, where she must quickly work out her escape before it's too late. Dangerous Animals is out in theaters now. For more, read our writer's opinion piece on why Dangerous Animals is the perfect film to watch during the 50th anniversary of Jaws. Year: 1975Director: Steven Spielberg What other movie did you expect to see in the top spot? Steven Spielberg's trailblazing blockbuster hit screens in 1975 and changed audiences' perception of sharks forever. When a giant white shark fatally attacks swimmers just off the coast of Amity Island, it's up to Sheriff Martin Brody, a marine biologist, and a local fisherman to hunt down the creature before it can claim too many victims. The movie gave us such iconic lines as: "You're gonna need a bigger boat," and one of the biggest jump scares in shark movie history (see above). Jaws still remains the best shark movie, and has ingrained itself into pop culture for 50 years now. Jaws is available to stream on Peacock in the US and on Prime Video in the UK. For more, read our Jaws review. For more, check out our list of upcoming movies you have to look forward to.

26 Things From Etsy You Can Buy Because You're An Adult And Make Your Own Decisions

A Goldfish trophy for the pro angler — OK, pro snacker — who wants to showcase their amazing abilities (fishing in the bag for the last remaining crumbs). A pocket library complete with mini books. Give it a shake to satisfy your lust for destruction, then meditatively put them back on their shelves when you need a little screen break. A Puppagotchi tag to celebrate the fact that you graduated from virtual to real pets. Remembering to feed them, pick up poop, provide ample pats — same thing, really. Dagger-shaped push pins so you can dramatically add your to-do list to your corkboard. Main quest chores like doing the dishes will have to wait — there are more exciting side quests (like decorating your corkboard) to take care of first! A pasta box keychain with lil' bowties you can shake around. A perfect accessory for anyone who plans on ordering noodles with butter at the restaurant later. And a pair of handmade farfalle barrettes that are almost im-pasta-bly cute. Pair with some butter earrings to complete the look. A McLovin fake ID I'm pretty sure would work if you flashed it at a liquor store. Luckily, we're all adults here with backup IDs in case it doesn't. Freshly baked, Hokkaido-style milk bread so pillowy soft, you'll want to take a nap on it like that influencer who pushes her face into different breads. If boomers can splurge on little porcelain figurines, you can splurge on fluffy bread for next-level breakfast pics. One reviewer said tasting this heavenly loaf transported them back to Japan. 🇯🇵 An outrageously silly Sonny Angel shelf you can use to display your favorite lil' naked babies — or any other small figurines. I wonder who you'll pick for the coveted cloud swing spot. A silly goose badge — congrats on your promotion! Now that you've been deputized, let's hit the streets and start pieing people in the face. Magnets shaped like Goldfish or chocolate truffles, to really capture the magic of your kitchen (the place where the snacks are). Promising review (for the Goldfish): "These are really awesome. They have a tactile feel like the real thing! Magnets are super powerful. I'm going to buy a few more. Love these." —TamedGet the six Goldfish from Handy Cute Art for $10.50 or the three chocolate truffles from Bows & Silos for $19.95. A brass dragon journal clip that makes even the stuffiest of work feel like you're playing a round of Dungeons & Dragons! Adding another 9 am meeting to your agenda? Better roll for Constitution. 😬 Puffy bookends in bright colors to make your bookshelf feel like it came straight from the MoMA gift shop — even if you have more romantasy novels than sleek art books. A magical Disney sun catcher to make your home the happiest place on Earth — because rainbows = happiness, duh. A pair of cowboy chicken earrings with some great, flashy boots. Bob your head to make them do a lil' square dance. A jumbo carrot body pillow in case you wanna inject some serious vitamin A into your home. Snuggle up with this 4-foot-long plush and live out Bugs Bunny's greatest dream. An adorable acetate hair claw because why settle for a plain one when there are an infinite number of far cuter options? Good luck picking one! It was hard enough to pick just three to show you. Promising review (for the bow): "It's a very cute hair claw that's well made. Thank you so much! :)" —AmyGet them from Etsy: the bow from New Heights Studio for $20, the bok choy from Sunnie Creative for $18, or the Pompompurin from CuteSewLuna for $20. A New Moon filter keychain so you can look at the world as if it were featured in the Twilight Saga. Bright summer day? Gross! Throw some moody Washington dreariness over it. A large Prismo tufted rug, which might be peak Millennial home decor. Like all of Prismo's wishes, you'll get what you want (a cool as heck rug) but with a catch (your parents will sigh every time they see it). Bath spaghetti so you can feel like a lil' meatball swimming in a tub of marinara. If only you had this as a kid! Don't worry; this unique body wash doesn't smell like tomato sauce — instead, expect zesty orange and grapefruit. A UFO abduction lamp to add a little Mulder to your otherwise Scully-esque desk. It comes with a color-changing remote so you can pick whatever hue matches the moo-d (sorry). Or a pair of earrings depicting a UFO abduction scene — not even extra-terrestrials can resist a good cat snuggle. A coconut wax candle with a 3D hot dog poking out of it. Don't worry! It doesn't smell like lunch meat — you can pick a scent like citrus, lavender, or coconut cream. A Perry the Platypus mug complete with fedora lid. Just remove the hat when you want to pour in your drink where did Perry go? The ceramic mug is handmade, so it takes about 10 days to make. A glass butterfly ring to create the illusion that you're a fairy princess who often has sparkly butterflies land on them. A pack of medieval cat stickers for anyone who loves a good wonky feline. Amazing how cat memes have existed for thousands of years.

Bianca Censori's Lookalike Sister Angelina Turns Heads With Sudden Style Switch-Up

Bianca Censori's Lookalike Sister Angelina Turns Heads With Sudden Style Switch-Up originally appeared on Parade. Bianca Censori's lookalike sister, , recently turned heads after debuting a sudden style switch-up. On Tuesday, June 10, the Australian model, 20, took to her Instagram Stories with a clip and photos while in Japan, seemingly visiting Bianca, 30, and her husband, , 48. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Angelina shared a clip of chefs sprinkling a dessert with what looked like edible gold flakes before posting a photo of the treat, too. In a different segment, she included a snap of city buildings and traffic from a street view, tagging the sweet shop Shiseido Parlour in Tokyo. For yet another image, Bianca's younger sibling uploaded a mirror selfie that cut off her head but showed off her outfit for the night—and she opted for an uncharacteristically conservative look. In the picture, Angelina kept it simple with a black spaghetti-strap tank top and jeans. The low-key fashion choice was a huge departure from the risqué 'fits she has recently shared on social media. Recently, Angelina rocked a sheer look that left little to the imagination. She also dropped jaws in a tantalizing see-through dress. The younger Censori sister seems to be following in Bianca's boundary-pushing fashion footsteps. In February, the Yeezy architect nearly broke the internet when she left absolutely nothing to the imagination on the 2025 Grammy Awards red carpet. More recently, Bianca sported a see-through top and no pants. She also donned a leather thong and flaunted an eye-popping sheer look in a livestream video.
