NBA YoungBoy is making headlines again as he reportedly welcomes his 12th child with a ninth different woman. News of this new addition broke on Thursday (September 5), complete with a photo of the baby girl named Kiori.
The baby’s mother, identified as Hailey, took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to seemingly confirm the news. Interestingly, Kiori’s birth appears to have gone unnoticed by the public until now.
Hailey’s post divulged some details: ‘[L]oud & wrong but carry on .. def not looking for sympathy that post was made last year when I was going through ppd & I wasn’t alone I felt alone b/c of how sick I was during my pregnancy: throwing up everyday was just hard/draining tf.’ She went on to challenge accusations about leaking pictures, ‘[A]nd be fucking fr leaking my own daughter? FOR WHAT? what would I fucking gain from that? if that was the case I would’ve just posted a picture of him holding her / or better yet when she was first born .. like I haven’t known this man for years that’s CRAZYY WORK!!’
NBA YoungBoy, who is currently residing in Utah amid separate drug and gun cases, has yet to comment on the reports of his 12th child. At just 24 years old, the rapper already has a sizable family.
Earlier this year, in an interview with Bootleg Kev, he admitted that fatherhood isn’t really his forte. ‘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 revealed.
Despite his massive brood, NBA YoungBoy seems to maintain a limited but meaningful connection with his children. ‘My kids and I bond a lot, but I’m mostly really inside,’ he confessed, referring to his then-house arrest situation.
This new addition comes after his 11th child was born last April with a woman named Drew Valentina. He also has two children with his wife, Jazlyn Michelle, who he married in January 2023, and four more children from different relationships.
Meanwhile, the Baton Rouge legend is set to face a new federal gun charge stemming from an April arrest. It seems like YoungBoy’s life is a whirlwind of personal and legal challenges, yet he continues to stay in the limelight.
Whether or not NBA YoungBoy is prepared for fatherhood, his growing family is proof that he’s embracing it in his own unique way. With another child in the mix, all eyes are on what’s next for the rapper.
