While NBA YoungBoy couldn’t spend the holidays with his children this year, boxing legend Floyd Mayweather stepped in to create a memorable Christmas for YoungBoy’s 3-year-old son, Kentrell DeSean Gaulden Jr. On December 25, Mayweather made headlines by gifting his grandson an extraordinary present: a property in New York City’s prestigious Diamond District.
In a heartwarming video shared on Instagram, Mayweather proudly announced the surprise. “I got you a gift. Guess what I bought you?” he teased before revealing the news. “You’re the first kid to own a building in the Diamond District.”
Adding a festive touch, Mayweather highlighted their matching Bluey-themed pajamas, bringing smiles all around.
A Legacy Gift Amidst Challenges
Kentrell Jr., born in 2021 to YoungBoy and Iyanna “Yaya” Mayweather, is the seventh child of the Baton Rouge rapper. YoungBoy, who shares children with other partners, including social media influencers Jania Meshell and Drea Symone, is currently facing legal troubles. Earlier this month, he was sentenced to 23 months in federal prison and an additional 60 months of probation for his role in a prescription drug fraud case.
Despite his legal struggles, Mayweather’s gesture underscores his unwavering support for both YoungBoy and his grandson. Known for his strong family values, the U.S. Golden Gloves champion often speaks about their bond. “We talk regularly,” Mayweather shared earlier this year. “I’m proud of his career. He’s young and learning, but growth comes with age.”
Building a Brighter Future
Mayweather’s generous gift offers a beacon of hope and stability for Kentrell Jr., symbolizing a foundation for a promising future. The property, situated in one of New York’s most iconic neighborhoods, not only holds immense financial value but also serves as a legacy of resilience and family strength during challenging times.
As NBA YoungBoy continues to navigate his legal journey, Mayweather’s grand gesture ensures that the holiday season will be remembered as a time of giving, love, and hope for the family.
