NBA YoungBoy has admitted that he is “not really big” on fatherhood despite recently welcoming his 11th child.
The 24-year-old rapper discussed being a parent in an interview with Bootleg Kev at his home in Utah, where he’s currently on house arrest.

While one of his children played on his lap, YoungBoy was asked how important fatherhood is to him, to which he bluntly replied: “I’m not really big on it, to be honest. It’s a crazy topic ’cause I’m not the type to sugarcoat nothing.”
He also said that because of his house arrest, he essentially sits around in one room all day watching TV: “[My kids and I] bond a lot, but I’m mostly really inside.”
At the latest count, NBA YoungBoy has 11 children with 10 different mothers, including seven sons and three daughters. The gender of his latest child, who was born in April 2023, is unknown to the public.
One of the rapper’s children’s mothers is Floyd Mayweather’s daughter, Yaya, who he’s been vocally critical of in the past.
After Nicolette Gotti, the granddaughter of the late mob boss John Gotti, made racially charged threats against Yaya, YoungBoy said: “I hope you do that bitch in the worse way, two or three years from now. I don’t give a fuck. I hate that hoe. And when it come to her daddy, that n-gga don’t need to be in my mentions, I don’t fuck with him.”
The former couple have a dramatic history that involves a fight which ended with another of the rapper’s baby mothers stabbed by Mayweather. She was later sentenced to six years probation over the violent incident, which allegedly occurred after she found another woman in YoungBoy’s house.

Last year, NBA YoungBoy spoke about his own father, who has been in prison since he was eight after he was sentenced to 55 years in prison for what was described as a “robbery gone wrong.”
“No matter if I see you in the right way or the wrong way again my n-gga, I’m gone be smiling,” he wrote over a picture of a man that appears to be his father. “I went thru this experience on my own you built that one bitch I’m trying [to] tell you. I’m on top of the love, Jeff.”
