The Breakdown: NBA YoungBoy has been running up the charts and the nursery. His track record in music and fatherhood is wild. Here’s a rundown of his baby mamas.
If there’s one thing NBA YoungBoy is going to do, it’s drop hits and babies. The Baton Rouge rapper, born Kentrell Gaulden, might only be 25, but his daddy resume is already longer than his discography.
YoungBoy started rapping in his early teens and dropped his first mixtape, Life Before Fame, in 2015. But it was his 38 Baby tape and the Mind of a Menace series that really started the streets buzzing. In 2016, he dropped 38 Baby and caught attention with tracks like “Hell and Back” and “Gravity.” Not long after, legal issues landed him in jail, but even behind bars, the music kept coming.

The world took notice when YB dropped “Outside Today” in 2018, hitting No. 31 on the Billboard Hot 100. That same year, he dropped his debut studio album, Until Death Call My Name, and it was game on. His 2019 project, AI YoungBoy 2, debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, proving he wasn’t just some mixtape rapper.
His personal life is just as eventful. The rapper has a slew of kids with multiple women. Let’s take a look at his baby mamas.
Nisha Keller
Nisha is YB’s first baby mama. The two met when they were teenagers, and long before YoungBoy rose to fame. Nisa gave birth to YoungBoy’s oldest son, Kayden (aka Draco), back in 2016. She’s been mostly lowkey, but sis will always have OG status in the YB baby mama lineup.
Starr Dejanee
Starr was thought to have two of YoungBoy’s kids — Kamiri and Kamron — but a DNA test later revealed Kamron isn’t biologically his. Still, YB kept it G and chose to raise Kamron like his own.
Nia
Nia gave birth to Taylin, YoungBoy’s third son, in 2017. Not much is known about Nia and YB's time together, but Nia does have a vibrant Instagram profile and a huge following. She boasts more than 200,000 followers, and she regularly posts content.
Jania Meshell
Jania and YoungBoy’s relationship was messy and public. She gave birth to Kacey in 2019, and their “situationship” played out in front of millions on social media. Back in 2022, Jania took to Twitter airing out frustrations about being a single mom, which had YoungBoy clapping back with his own not-so-subtle shade.
Drea Symone
Drea and YoungBoy share a daughter named Kodi Capri, born in 2020. She pops out every now and then with the cutest mom content, but otherwise keeps her business off the timeline. In addition to sharing a child with YB, Kodi is a YouTube creator. She shares vlogging, makeup, and lifestyle content.
Yaya Mayweather
YoungBoy and Yaya Mayweather’s relationship has been straight-up chaotic from the jump — full of love, legal drama, and way too many headlines. Back in April 2020, Yaya, daughter of boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, was arrested after allegedly stabbing one of YoungBoy’s other baby mamas, Lapattra Jacobs, during an altercation at YB’s Houston home. Yaya later pled guilty to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and was sentenced to six years of probation in late 2022, according to KPRC Houston.
Arcola
Not much is known about Arcola, but she’s the mom of Kaell, one of YB’s youngest kids. She’s been more under-the-radar compared to the others.
Jazlyn Mychelle
Jazlyn is the current queen of the castle. She’s YoungBoy’s wife and mom to two of his youngest kids, including son Klemenza and daughter Alice. Unlike his past relationships, this one seems to be more peaceful and private — for now.
