Oop! Yaya Mayweather Shuts Down Claims That She’s “Obsessed” With NBA YoungBoy Or Wants Him Back

Want WHO back? That’s the energy Yaya Mayweather seemingly has when it comes to NBA Youngboy. She recently asked his fans and online users to let go of any narratives linking her to him. Her comments follow a viral video of her vibing to his music, which she’s done for years even to the point of attending his concert with her mom last year.

Yaya Mayweather Denies Being “Obsessed” With NBA YoungBoy

A video shared on X on March 25 shows Yaya singing one of NBA YoungBoy’s songs word-for-word, allegedly while inside a Houston spot. The video got over 515,000 views and one X user quoted it, writing, “She love her baby daddy more than he will ever love her and it’s sickening.” Hours later, Yaya peeped the tweet and responded, clarifying that she loves his music, not him.

“No i dont want to still be with my childs father, no im not still in love with him, no im not obsessed that ship has sailed,” Yaya Mayweather wrote. “So can we please let that narrative go? i just enjoy the music like everyone else, thats it nothing more to it. thanks for coming to my ted talk.”

This isn’t the first time Yaya Mayweather has sparked conversations about wanting NBA YoungBoy back. In recent months, she’s on-and-off blasted him online, particularly over his involvement in their son Kentrell Jr.’s life. For example, on Mother’s Day, she accused him of “playing step daddy flying a groupie h*e and her child to Paris.” Yaya even called him a “sorry a*s b*tch”and accused him of providing a living space for the woman and her son but not showing up for Kentrell Jr. “mentally, physically, emotionally or financially.”

As previously reported, Yaya Mayweather’s name was also in the mix last week. At the time, Jazlyn Mychelle and NBA YoungBoy got some attention after their rare joint appearance on social media. In the video, Jaz explained that she, her husband and their dog were going on a 2-mile walk. “We’re the parents, mom and dad,” Jazlyn said in the clip.

Yaya Mayweather Warns Inner Circle About Pending Switch-Up

Three days before her 26th birthday, Yaya Mayweather used X to send a warning to her inner circle. It’s unclear what sparked her message, but it appears she had been disappointed about the energy behind her birthday. She did not name-drop anyone in the post.

“Crazy how people only know how to show up when it benefits them, but when its time to show up and show love for my birthday suddenly nobody can be found. mind you im always there for people whether its birthdays or not. its really people i dont even talk to or see on a regular showing up for me and supporting me. after my birthday im definitely changing my inner circle. and if you feel like this applies to you it probably does.”

Mayweather Family Grows By One

And while her inner circle may be getting smaller, her family circle recently grew! Turns out, Yaya has a four-year-old sister, Price Moorehead. Her father Floyd Mayweather had the child in 2021 with a dancer from his strip club. He and the child’s mother have reportedly been wrapped up in court since June 2023. At the time, the mother requested that the court declare Floyd the father. He allegedly dodged court orders for a DNA test and in March 2026, the courts declared him the father by default judgement. Since then, he’s been ordered to pay back child support and monthly support at a rate of $32,850.
