Kentrell Gaulden Jr. is best known as the son of American rapper NBA YoungBoy, and Floyd Mayweather’s eldest daughter, Iyanna Mayweather. According to rumours in the tabloids, he could inherit either his grandfather’s boxing skills or his father’s musical talent.
Who is Kentrell Gaulden Jr.?
Gaulden Jr. was born on January 9, 2021, in the United States of America. Among the offspring of NBA YoungBoy, Kentrell Jr. stands out for his unique technique, or “drip,” which is mostly a result of his grandfather Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr.
Kentrell Jr. was raised in opulence thanks in large part to his grandfather, Floyd Mayweather Jr. Mayweather gave Kentrell Jr. a $45,000 diamond-encrusted Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust watch when he was only a few months old. In July 2022, when Kentrell Jr. was just over a year and a half old, Mayweather bought him a $18,000 car seat covered in genuine mink fur and put it in his Rolls Royce Cullinan.
Although NBA YoungBoy and Iyanna Mayweather, Kentrell Jr.’s parents, were never officially married and as a result did not go through a formal divorce, their current circumstances strongly suggest that they are no longer living together.
Kentrell Gaulden Jr.’s Father
Rapper NBA YoungBoy is renowned in the United States for consistently releasing top singles. NBA YoungBoy was born on October 20, 1999, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. After his father was given a 55-year jail term, NBA YoungBoy was raised by his grandmother.
At the age of 14, Gaulden started making music using a microphone he acquired at Walmart. He rose to stardom, though, after releasing the mixtape 38 Baby in October 2016, which also included fellow rappers Stroke Tha Don and NBA 3Three as well as Baton Rouge natives Boosie Badazz and Kevin Gates. NBA YoungBoy has put out 26 studio albums, mixtapes, and EPs as of 2022. In April 2023, NBA Youngboy reportedly welcomed his eleventh child with Instagram model, Drew Valentina.
The American rapper is accused of engaging in criminal activity that has put him in legal jeopardy multiple times. YoungBoy was one of 16 people detained on September 28, 2020 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, for a variety of offences, including manufacturing and distributing drugs and possessing stolen weapons. However, he was given a $1.5 million bond after his attorney entered a not guilty plea on his behalf.
YoungBoy was once more taken into custody by American federal officials on March 22, 2021 in Los Angeles, carrying out a federal warrant related to his detention in Baton Rouge in September 2020. On March 9, 2023, he was charged and given a house arrest term.
Kentrell Gaulden Jr.’s Mother
Iyana Mayweather, popularly known as Yaya, is the mother of Kentrell Gaulden Jr. and daughter of former professional boxer, Floyd Mayweather Jr.
According to reports, YoungBoy and Yaya both experienced abuse during their marriage. In 2020, the couple became engaged. But when Yaya went to YoungBoy’s house and found him with Lapattra Jacobs—who was purportedly carrying the rapper’s child—all hell broke loose. Yaya cut Lapattra twice with two knives after a fight broke out in the rapper’s Houston home’s kitchen.
She reconnected with NBA YoungBoy during her brief time behind bars, and the two eventually had a child. She admitted admission to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon on April 20, 2022, and was given a six-year probationary term with the possibility of community work and restitution.
