NBA YoungBoy has been an open book when it comes to his personal struggles and overcoming his past, especially through the messages he shares in his music. However, as speculation began to surface about his marriage with his wife Jazlyn Mychelle, the rapper hopped online to quickly shut down the rumors.
Earlier this month, NBA YoungBoy seemingly teased a new era in his life as he reflected on discipline, prayer, and growth. The rapper shared a photo of himself in an all-white robe while opening up about the importance of bettering yourself.
In the post, he wrote, Bettering yourself is the best thing you can put effort towards. Not being disciplined and selfish can leave you very lonely. I been there and barely escaped. Hold on to the people who really love you and always pray. #MRGAULDEN
He later added that he would be deactivating soon, writing, Deactivating soon #ily.
Amid this, he also released his new song ‘Try So Hard,’ where the rapper reflects on his life, relationships, and overcoming past struggles.
In some of the lyrics, he raps:
I couldnt make you walk again, Im sorry, KD, my brother
God wont spare my life again if I dont try and do better
Tryna show my girl that I love her, but every day, I just thug her
He also apologized to his mom Sherhonda and his friend DDawg, adding:
I dont want no problem, tired of arguin with you, Im exhausted
How I get it back? I dont wanna bargain with you, I took losses
Sherhonda, Im sorry, DDawg, Im sorry
I been tryna make up for all of this
NBA YoungBoy reportedly took to his wife Jazlyns YouTube account with a message as he responded to speculation that she left him.
He said, This is Kentrell DeSean Gaulden talking to your miserable a** right now. I dont like when my wife exposes my demons, and I like to live with my demons. When she does expose them, I get very emotional.
He also went on to address critics who he feels celebrate when they think hes going through pain or believe his wife left him. The rapper called out those rooting against him, saying they have completely lost their minds. While addressing the comments, he also mocked the speculation, saying, ’Bout time she got some sense, whoopty whoopty woo.’ What the f*** are you talking about?
He even asked Jazlyn if she had anything to say while he was on the live because his feelings were hurt by the speculations.
Folks gathered under The Shade Room Teens comment section as they reacted to NBA YoungBoys message. Many shared their thoughts on his response, while others weighed in on his marriage with Jazlyn.
