Multi-platinum hip hop artist NBA Youngboy is a relative of boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr., but how are the two related? Find out below.

NBA Youngboy and Iyanna Mayweather welcomed their first child together in January 2021.This makes Floyd Mayweather Jr. the grandfather of the hip-hop superstar's child.

Iyanna Mayweather announced the birth of her baby boy, Kentrell Jr., on Instagram in a since-deleted post. The undefeated boxer’s daughter made headlines when she was charged with stabbing another woman at the residence of NBA Youngboy. Iyanna was then sentenced to six years of probation for the incident.

Kentrell DeSean Gaulden, a.k.a. NBA Youngboy, was recently facing two federal gun charges in October 2021. The rapper was then released on $1.5 million bail and ordered to live under house arrest. Only three visitors were allowed into his home at once in addition to his wife, his producer and business manager, who also resides in the same home.

Judge Shelly Dick recently made Youngboy’s house arrest rules more lenient. As of March 15, the Louisiana judge exempted two conditions from the rapper’s supervised house arrest release, and as a result of the ruling, he’ll be allowed to have more than three visitors simultaneously without a curfew at his Utah home.


Floyd Mayweather vs. Jake Paul could potentially postpone Tommy Fury rematch

Jake Paul might choose against triggering his rematch clause with Tommy Fury for the time being. According to YouTuber Keemstar, a fight against Floyd Mayweather looks more likely for ’The Problem Child' after their altercation in Miami, where the pair collided outside an arena.

Paul has since claimed that he would want to fight 'TBE' in a professional bout, rather than an exhibition. He posted a video on Instagram detailing his run-in with ‘Money’ Mayweather:

"So I'm leaving the Miami Heat game and Floyd Mayweather and 50 dudes pull up out of nowhere, out of like some side alley, waiting for me outside the stadium, and they're like, 'So what's up? What's all that talk now?”
