The Breakdown: While many may not think of Young Thug as a family man first, he is a proud father and is doing co-parenting right. See what there is to know about the "Lifestyle" rapper's kids.
Rapper Young Thug may be known to many for his trap sounds and unapologetic fashion choices, but at his core, Thugger, aka Jeffrey Lamar Williams, is a family man. The "Money on Money" rapper showed off some of his family while celebrating his son, Jahmir's sixth-grade graduation.
A post shared by one of the rapper's baby's mothers, K. Ragland, showed that the graduation was a blended family affair that included his girlfriend, Mariah The Scientist, who posed with him, K., and his three children from that relationship.
"Another milestone in the books, and many more ahead! Congratulations to my rising 6th grader," K. wrote on Instagram. "So proud of you, Jahmir!"
The adorable family moment showed some of Thug's role as a father, a role he's maintained since he was 17.
Here's the rundown of all of the rapper's childen.
Young Thug is a father of six children.
Thug has a total of six kids. His tribe includes three boys and three girls. Thug has three baby mamas with whom he co-parents. His first child was born during his relationship with LaKevia Jackson. The exes co-parented their son together until LaKevia was shot and killed outside of Atlanta's Metro Fun Center in November 2022. According to 11Alive, two people were initially charged for shooting her, but an Atlanta judge ruled they were acting in self-defense and dismissed the charges.
Thug also has three children with K. and two children with his ex, who went by @my3whatmatter1 on Instagram, is the mother of his other two children. She has spoken out about their relationship before, including in March 2022 when she shared she wasn't LaKevia after multiple fans learned of her fatal shooting.
"The fact that when they say Thug BM, y'all automatically assume it's me," she wrote underneath a comment shared with The Neighborhood Talk.
Thug has often shown his fatherly side with his children. In April 2025, he congratulated one of his daughters, Mego Amari, for getting a feature on his 2021 album, the Slime Language 2 deluxe. Mego sang on his song, "Yessirskii," and became emotional after her father recorded himself telling her she made his feature list.
Young Thug and Mariah The Scientist could collab on his seventh child.
Thug may have three baby mamas and double the children, but that doesn't mean he's not ready to have more with the right one. His right one seems to be with Mariah, whom he started dating in October 2021. The couple has weathered many storms, including him spending over 900 days in jail under Georgia’s sprawling Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, also known as RICO, per .
Mariah and Thug stayed together throughout his stay. She went viral for using baby talk during their leaked jail calls. However, the "Ride" artists didn't prioritize having a baby when he was released from jail on a 15-year probation in November 2024. Still, rumors swirled on TikTok in March 2025 that she was expecting, but that was not the case.
