NBA YoungBoy reportedly welcomes 12th child with ninth woman

Rapper NBA YoungBoy has reportedly welcomed his 12th child with a woman named Hailey, marking his ninth different partner. According to reports from social media on September 5, a baby girl named Kiori was born last year, though the news had remained private until now. Hailey, the child’s mother, addressed the revelation on X (formerly Twitter), dismissing claims that she leaked the information and explaining that the post was made during a difficult period of postpartum depression.

“Loud & wrong but carry on … I wasn’t alone, I felt alone because of how sick I was during my pregnancy,” Hailey wrote. She further clarified that she had no reason to leak the existence of her daughter and that she has known NBA YoungBoy for years.

NBA YoungBoy, 24, has not publicly responded to the news of his 12th child. The rapper, who is currently facing separate drug and gun charges, welcomed his 11th child last April with Drew Valentina. He shares two children with his wife, Jazlyn Michelle, and has other children with women including Yaya Mayweather and Jania Meshell.

Despite fathering multiple children, NBA YoungBoy admitted in an interview with Bootleg Kev earlier this year that fatherhood has been a challenging topic for him, stating: “I’m not really big on it, to be honest. It’s a crazy topic.”
