NBA YoungBoy Gifts His Mini-Me A Puppy

With three days left until Christmas, NBA YoungBoy made sure at least one of his mini-mes is feeling the love. It’s unclear whether he has already sent presents to his other children, excluding the little ones he shares with his wife, Jazlyn Mychelle, who was pregnant with their third child as of late 2025.

For KJ, Yaya Mayweather said NBA YoungBoy bought a small, fluffy brown puppy. She shared a snapshot of the dog lying in bed next to KJ, who was asleep in his pajamas. The puppy in the photo has a red collar, but its name is not yet known.

“Thank you to KJ’s daddy for the best Christmas surprise, he loves his new puppy,” Yaya wrote on X.

Since sharing it, the post has nearly 69,000 views, and over 2,200 comments. Multiple comments under the post praised YoungBoy and shared excitement and awe about the cute present.

Yaya Mayweather Wants To Be Married

While she seems to be enjoying motherhood, it seems Yaya is hoping she won’t do it alone forever. After Young Thug proposed to Mariah the Scientist last week, Mayweather took to the internet to express her own desire in tying the knot.

“Awww I hope I meet somebody one day, eventually they [propose] to me, and then we get married,” Yaya wrote on X.

That same day she clocked the critics who called her out for spelling propose wrong in her initial tweet. Yaya has never been married. Her last public relationship was with NBA YoungBoy, and it lasted several years, leading to the birth of KJ in 2021.
