NBA YoungBoy and Iyanna Mayweather: A Turbulent Relationship
The reason why NBA YoungBoy is related to Floyd Mayweather is because he has a son with his daughter, Iyanna Mayweather. Iyanna, also known as Yaya, is the youngest of Floyd’s four children. She is 21 years old and has been dating NBA YoungBoy on and off since 2019.
Their relationship has been anything but smooth. They have faced several challenges and controversies, such as cheating allegations, breakups, reconciliations and even a violent incident. In April 2020, Iyanna was arrested for allegedly stabbing another woman, Lapattra Jacobs, who was at NBA YoungBoy’s home in Houston. Iyanna claimed that she acted in self-defense after Jacobs pulled her hair and attacked her with a knife. She was later released on bail and sentenced to six years of probation.
Despite this drama, NBA YoungBoy and Iyanna welcomed their first child together in January 2021. They named him Kentrell Gaulden Jr., after NBA YoungBoy’s real name. This makes Floyd Mayweather the grandfather of the rapper’s child.
Floyd Mayweather’s Reaction: Supportive and Respectful
Floyd Mayweather is not only a legendary boxer, but also a loving father. He has expressed his support and respect for NBA YoungBoy, despite their rocky relationship with his daughter. He said in an interview with The Pivot Podcast:
> “I’m proud of him because he’s very talented. He’s very smart. And he’s doing what he has to do to survive.”
He also said that he wants what’s best for his daughter and that he doesn’t interfere in her personal business.
> “I just want what’s best for my daughter. Always want the best. If that makes her happy, then we’re happy. Me and her mother are happy. But what I try not to do is get in her personal business. Because, once she’s no longer under my roof, then it’s between her and her better half.”
Floyd Mayweather has also shown his affection for his grandson by teaching him how to box. He posted a video on Instagram of him holding Kentrell Jr.’s hands and making him throw punches.
Conclusion: NBA YoungBoy and Floyd Mayweather Are Not Blood Relatives, But Family
To sum up, NBA YoungBoy and Floyd Mayweather are not blood relatives, but they are family by virtue of having a child together with Iyanna Mayweather. Their relationship may not be perfect, but they have shown mutual respect and support for each other. They are both successful in their respective fields and have a lot to offer to their fans and their son.
