Last Christmas, Floyd Mayweather gifted Kentrell Jr. an estate in New York City’s Diamond District. In a video where they wore matching Bluey pajamas, he said, “I got you a gift. Guess what I bought you? You [are] the first kid that owns a building in the Diamond District in New York City.”

The U.S. Golden Gloves champion continued, “We bought you a building. Papa bought you a building.”

YoungBoy and Yaya welcomed Kentrell Jr., the rapper’s seventh child, in 2021, although they later separated. In October, XXL reported that the “Shot Callin” artist is expecting his 13th child, a baby girl, with his wife, Jazlyn Mychelle.

In addition to family news, YoungBoy had a significant year. Following his pardon by Donald Trump, he released MASA (Make America Slime Again), a 30-song album featuring collaborations with Playboi Carti and Mellow Rackz, which appeared at No. 10 on Rap-Up’s Best Rap Albums of 2025 list.

YoungBoy was anticipated to release another LP, Slime Cry, in November, but those plans seem to have been delayed.
