25-Year-Old Rapper NBA YoungBoy Reportedly Expecting 13th Child — And Fans Are Stunned

At just 25 years old, rapper NBA YoungBoy is rumored to be on the brink of welcoming his 13th child — and the internet is both amazed and confused by the news.

NBA YoungBoy, whose real name is Kentrell DeSean Gaulden, rose to fame between 2015 and 2017 after dropping eight mixtapes in rapid succession. Known for his raw and unfiltered lyrics, he’s built a loyal fanbase that follows both his music and his personal life closely.

In one of his earlier tracks, the rapper made headlines for revealing he had contracted herpes — allegedly from Jania, the mother of one of his children. The bold confession left fans reeling, but it also cemented YoungBoy’s reputation for being brutally honest in his lyrics.

Now, he’s sparked a whole new wave of speculation with his song If You Need Me, where he appears to mention expecting another child — his third with wife Jazlyn Mychelle. If true, that would bring his total to 13 children.

Naturally, fans took to social media in disbelief.

“Did he start having kids at 12? How is this mathematically possible?” one person asked on X (formerly Twitter), clearly baffled.

The confusion led others to jump in with clarification:

“He’s not the one giving birth, remember?”
“Nine women can have a baby each in one month. It adds up.”
“Men don’t have a 9-month wait period — biology 101.”

Some responses carried a sharper tone:

“Oh, so he personally birthed 13 babies back-to-back? Ever heard of multiple partners?”

But this isn’t the first time fans have done the math on YoungBoy’s growing family. He’s already addressed it in older tracks, including Rebel’s Kick It, where he admitted:

“Had my first baby at 16, no Plan B, I had one dream.”

Since the birth of his first son Kayden with Nisha Keller, the rapper’s family has expanded significantly. After splitting and later reuniting with Nisha, YoungBoy moved on to relationships with several other women.

In 2017, he had his second child, Taylin, with ex-girlfriend Nia. A year later, he and Starr Dejanee welcomed Kamiri. He even briefly helped raise another of Starr’s children, mistakenly believing he was the father — until a DNA test proved otherwise.

His relationship with influencer Jania Meshell was perhaps the most publicly chaotic. In 2018, a viral video appeared to show him physically assaulting her, leading to kidnapping and battery charges. Despite the turmoil, they reconciled and had a son, Kacey, in 2019 — before splitting again.

By mid-2020, Nisha was back in his life and gave birth to their daughter Armani. Five months later, another woman, Drea Symone, had his daughter Kodi.

In January 2021, Yaya Mayweather — daughter of boxing legend Floyd Mayweather — gave birth to YoungBoy’s son, Kentrell Jr.

That same year, he began dating Jazlyn Mychelle. The couple had their first daughter in August 2021 and later tied the knot in 2023. Their son, Klemenza, arrived in September 2022.

According to reports, YoungBoy fathered two more children in 2023 with different women, matching Nick Cannon’s total of 12 kids.

Now, if the lyrics in If You Need Me are a hint, it seems baby number 13 is on the horizon — securing his spot as one of the most prolific young fathers in the music industry.
