Issa Birthday Boy! Yaya Mayweather Warms Hearts With Homemade Treat For Her & NBA YoungBoy’s Son KJ

Yaya Mayweather took the homemade route to celebrate her son KJ on his fifth birthday. She shared sweet footage of a cake they baked together. The mommy duties moment comes after Yaya seemingly shaded NBA YoungBoy for allegedly being in the same state as Kentrell Jr. and not visiting him. Meanwhile, her mom, Melissa, dropped an adorable social media post celebrating her grandson’s birthday.

Yaya Mayweather Shares KJ’s Birthday Cake

Even with a dad worth $300 million, there’s nothing like homemade magic. That’s exactly what Yaya Mayweather created when her son, KJ, requested a homemade cake for his 5th birthday. On her Instagram Stories, she revealed that her mini-me wanted to bake the treat at midnight. And Mama Mayweather made it happen! One video shows her and KJ’s hands cracking an egg into the mix. R. Kelly’s song, ‘It’s Your Birthday’ is playing over the sweet clip. Another video shows KJ smiling at a kitchen island, while loved ones, including Yaya Mayweather, circled around him to sing him ‘Happy Birthday.’ That clip, like the egg-cracking one, has no audio because Yaya added Anita Baker’s song ‘You Bring Me Joy’ to it. It does show KJ blowing out his fifth birthday candle while rocking a Spider-Man t-shirt. The cake he and his mom baked was in a rectangular shape and covered with half white and half light red frosting. Watch the two sweet clips below.

Mommy Mayweather Puts Daddy YoungBoy On Blast

Yaya Mayweather’s special birthday moment with KJ came after she allegedly popped off on NBA YoungBoy. While she didn’t name-drop her ex, she took to X with several posts about favoritism and her son’s hurt feelings.

In one post, per ItsOnsite!, she wrote, “The favoritism is crazy.” In another she added, “I’ve never heard of someone going to the same state their child lives in and doesn’t see them.” A third post, seemingly in response to another X user, said, “No it hurt my son’s feelings, and it’s up with anyone about my child.”Since tweeting the apparent shade toward NBA YoungBoy, Yaya has seemingly deactivated her X account.

No additional details are available at this time about Yaya and NBA YoungBoy’s co-parenting agreements. Last month, she thanked him on the same platform for surprising Kentrell Jr. with a puppy for Christmas.

Grandma Melissia Shares Birthday Dump For KJ

While Yaya Mayweather handled birthday cake duties, Grandma Melissia hopped online to shower him with the same loving energy. On Instagram, she penned the cutest caption with three studio photos of Kentrell Jr.

“Happy Happy Birthday to my favorite person in the world. I cant believe youre 5 already where has the time gone? GOD gave him to my daughter at the perfect time. He healed all of us in so many ways & has been the Biggest & Best Blessing to our family. He is the smartest, sweetest, most caring baby. I knew from the 1st time I looked into his eyes right after he was born that hes going to be a star & somebody very special. The way he calls me MyMy, holds my hand & doesnt play about me thats my baby! I love you Bubb Bubbz HBD ŸŸŽ‚ŸŽŸŽˆ @kjmeezymayweather”

Grandpa Floyd Mayweather has also entered the chat behind his grand-legacy! The duo have been stealing hearts for the last few years with their boxing workouts and adorable interactions. On his Instagram Story on Monday, Floyd shared three posts celebrating KJ’s birthday: one shot of them in the gym, another of them skating and a third of KJ chilling in his lap. Each post had KJ’s IG account tagged.
