Mariah The Scientist's attorney has demanded a jury trial.

Earlier this year, footage of Mariah The Scientist and a woman named Cleopatra Dues allegedly getting into a brawl at an Atlanta club left social media users shocked. Reportedly, Dues told police that Mariah allegedly approached her and ripped off her wig, then proceeded to drag her across the floor of Cavo Kitchen and Cocktail Lounge. She insists that she never interacted with Mariah until the alleged incident.

In May, Mariah was arrested and charged with simple battery. Now, according to court documents obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, she's pleaded not guilty. Moreover, her attorney Brian Steel has asked for a jury trial. She's yet to address the debacle but may do so soon in court.

Unfortunately for Mariah, her own legal woes aren't the only ones she's dealing with these days. Her boyfriend Young Thug is also currently behind bars on RICO charges. His high-profile trial was put on hold earlier this week. The defense filed a motion for Fulton County Superior Court Judge Ural Glanville to recuse himself due to an ex parte meeting with prosecutors and witness Kenneth Copeland. The trial won't continue until another judge reviews the case. Glanville also plans to release a transcript of his meeting with Copeland “so everyone will have a chance to look at it.”

It's unclear exactly how long this could take. The trial is already the longest in state history, however, and doesn't look like it'll be coming to a close anytime soon.

Drake has found himself on the receiving end of yet more ridicule from Kendrick Lamar fans after popping out at Michael Rubin’s annual Fourth of July White Party in the Hamptons.

The 6 God was one of several A-listers who attended the swanky bash on Thursday (July 4), where he partied alongside stars such as Lil WayneTom BradyTravis ScottMegan Thee StallionKim Kardashian and Jake Paul.

Footage from the party shows Drizzy chatting with GloRilla and even jumping on the mic to perform hits like “Sticky” and “Wants and Needs” with Lil Baby.

But there’s one photo in particular that has captured attention, and it shows the 37-year-old rapper looking every bit his age while hanging out with Rubin — according to fans, at least.

The photo, shared on Instagram by the billionaire host, led to a flood of jokes about Drake’s appearance, many of which referenced his recent feud with Kendrick Lamar.

“Drake aged like 20 years since the beef,” one person joked, while another said: “Drake look like he been through the ringer.”

Someone else asked: “Is it me or buddy looking stressed out [crying face emoji].”

While Drake was busy partying in the Hamptons, Kendrick Lamar was putting the bow on his victory over The Boy in their high-profile beef.

The Compton rapper released the eagerly anticipated video for his chart-topping diss song “Not Like Us” on Thursday evening, and it features several easter eggs aimed at his fierce rival.

Drake’s OVO logo serves as ample ammo for K. Dot as he’s seen busting an owl-shaped piñata wide open with a broom handle and staring menacingly at an owl locked in a cage.

Another scene shows him dancing to the Mustard-produced banger with his fiancée Whitney Alford and two children, who were dragged into the feud by Drake.

In an even subtler dig at Drizzy, the video is co-directed by and includes a cameo from Kendrick’s longtime manager Dave Free, who was accused of possibly fathering of one of his pgLang partner’s kids.

The video also opens with a snippet of an unreleased song which hears Kendrick rap: “Woke up looking for the broccoli/ High-key, keep a horn on me, that Kamasi/ IP, ownership the blueprint is by me/ Mr. Get Off, I get off in my feet.”
