Yaya Mayweather apologizes to NBA YoungBoy after public claims about son support

Yaya Mayweather issued Instagram apology after accusing NBA YoungBoy of absent parenting

Yaya Mayweather has issued a public apology to NBA YoungBoy after previously accusing the rapper of not being present or financially supportive in their son’s life.

According to details shared by Mayweather on her Instagram Story, the 25-year-old acknowledged that she should not have taken private co-parenting issues to social media. Her apology followed a series of now-deleted posts on X, formerly Twitter, in which she alleged that NBA YoungBoy failed to contribute to their son Kentrell Jr.’s birthday celebrations and claimed her father, Floyd Mayweather, covered the expenses.

In her statement, Mayweather said emotions were high at the time and explained that tensions between her and the rapper led her to act impulsively. She admitted that airing out their disagreements online was a mistake and emphasized that the situation should have remained private.

Mayweather also clarified that NBA YoungBoy does provide support when she asks for it. She stated that he responds to her requests, whether they are related to their child or personal matters, and explained that her frustration stemmed from expectations not being met as quickly as she had hoped.

The social media personality added that she and NBA YoungBoy are still navigating how to co-parent effectively and said she plans to be more mindful about keeping personal matters offline moving forward. She described growth as learning to manage disagreements more responsibly rather than escalating them publicly.

Before issuing the apology, Mayweather had accused the rapper of prioritizing spending on other women while allegedly falling short when it came to their child. She also praised Floyd Mayweather for taking on a significant role in helping raise Kentrell Jr., describing him as an active father figure rather than just a grandfather.

In related personal updates, Mayweather recently shared that she has begun the process of removing several tattoos. She told followers that the procedure has been painful but suggested it represents a new chapter in her life.

The situation highlights the challenges of public co-parenting disputes and Mayweather’s attempt to take accountability for how she handled the matter, as reported by Ashley Rushford.
