Yaya Mayweather, daughter of boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr., is setting the record straight! After a video of her rapping along to NBA YoungBoy’s music went viral, speculation about a potential reunion with her child’s father ran rampant online. But Yaya is here to shut that narrative down, firmly.
Clearing the Air on Social Media
The clip, showing Yaya enthusiastically rapping along to NBA YoungBoy’s lyrics in Houston, quickly sparked rumors that she still had feelings for the rapper. One X user even claimed the video was proof of her enduring love. Yaya, however, didn’t hesitate to respond directly.
Taking to her own X account, she posted a clear message: “no i don’t want to still be with my child’s father, no i’m not still in love with him, no i’m not obsessed that ship has sailed.” She emphasized that she simply enjoys the music, just like anyone else, and urged people to let the reunion storyline go.
Understanding the Context
Yaya Mayweather and NBA YoungBoy, whose real name is Kentrell DeSean Gaulden, share a 4-year-old son, Kentrell DeSean Gaulden Jr. While Yaya is clearly moving on, NBA YoungBoy is married to Jazlyn Mychelle Hayes and recently welcomed his 13th child in February.
