Not long ago, Yaya Mayweather and NBA YoungBoy appeared to be on good terms, especially after she publicly thanked him for gifting their son KJ a puppy for Christmas. However, things now seem to have taken a turn. Yaya has reportedly reached her breaking point when it comes to co-parenting with the rapper and isnt holding back as she takes to the internet to air out more of her frustrations.
In a recent series of tweets, since deleted, Yaya hinted at dealing with favoritism. She shared that when situations begin to hurt her son’s feelings, shes ready to stand firmly behind him. By Wednesday, she returned to social media full force. In new tweets, Yaya directly called out NBA YoungBoy, accusing him of prioritizing others financially while failing to show up for their son. The situation has allegedly motivated her father to step in as the primary support.
In one tweet, Yaya wrote, “You giving h*** money to go shopping and buying h***jewelry, but still havent given me money for my sons birthday party. You know who paid for my sons birthday party? MY DAD!!!!!!
She also reposted a commenters reaction that read, “He buying sh** for their kids and flying their kids out is crazy, Kentrell is a menace.”
Yaya continued by praising her father, boxer Floyd Mayweather, explaining that his support goes far beyond finances. She added, “My dad doesnt just help me with KJ financially either. when i tell yall my dad really stepped up and is more like father figure to KJ than a grandfather. hes the one teaching KJ how to be a REAL man hes there mentally, physically, emotionally etc.
She went on to say, “It doesnt matter if I have it or not I didnt lay down with my dad and make a baby, but somehow hes the one stuck helping me take care of my child.
Yaya later reacted after a young woman seemingly shared a video inside NBA YoungBoys home on TikTok, writing, “A FAT WHITE WOMAN??? I’m sick to my stomach actually.”
After a commenter added, “You know sh** fr when even yaya fed up baby,” Yaya responded, “Its only so much a person can take damn.”
Many social media users gathered under The Shade Room Teens to react to Yaya Mayweathers tweet. Some encouraged her to heal and continue raising KJ despite the odds, showing support for her decision to speak out. Others held her accountable, saying she knew NBA YoungBoys history as a partner and father based on past statements. Many also agreed NBA YoungBoy needs to step up and be present for all of his children, not just some of them.

I love you forever. 1/7/23.” In the clip, shes seen wearing a mauve pink maternity robe that highlights her growing baby bump, while NBA YoungBoy stands behind her dressed in a black jacket, white shirt, white pants, and cowboy boots.More photos from the maternity shoot later surfaced online, showing the couple posing together.
