Whew! The internet is buzzing after a TikToker shared the unique inspiration behind her newborn babys name. In her video, she revealed she named her son MASA because she missed NBA YoungBoys recent tour.
In a now-viral TikTok video, an NBA YoungBoy fan explained that she couldnt attend the rapper’s ‘MASA’ tour, so she decided to name her son after it instead. The video shows the original birth certificate alongside photos of her baby boy, who was born on March 2, 2026. In the caption, China Lee wrote, Meet Masa Kizahri Azai . In 2025, NBA YoungBoy embarked on a 42-stop arena tour in support of his album, also titled ‘MASA.’ In an interview, the Baton Rouge rapper explained that the acronym stands for Make America Slime Again.
Social media didnt hold back. Users flooded The Shade Room Teen comment section with mixed reactions to the babys name.

Last year, country artist Jas Von called on NBA YoungBoy to collaborate on her track ‘Gettin Older’. The music video has amassed over 2.7 million views within 5 months. Now, seemingly as a token of his appreciation, the Baton Rouge rapper has sent a gift to Jas Von’s house that she will never forget. In a video posted on her Instagram, Jas Von captured the moment a covered trailer pulled into her driveway, revealing a zebra inside. She called it one of the best gifts she’s ever gotten and teased that fans could expect more music from the duo in the future.
