At just 25 years old, NBA YoungBoy, born Kentrell DeSean Gaulden, is reportedly about to have his 13th child. Since debuting with eight mixtapes from 2015 to 2017, he has maintained his reputation for being open about his life and struggles.
His honest lyrics mention challenges such as herpes, which he says he contracted from his child’s mother Jania. His recent song ‘If You Need Me’ includes a line about having a third child on the way with his wife Jazlyn Mychelle, adding to his already large family.
The news led to many online debates about how a young man can father so many children. Some commenters pointed out biological realities—he is not carrying the babies, and many women can have children around the same time.
His first son was born when he was only 16, starting a journey into fatherhood that has included multiple relationships with women like Nisha Keller, Starr Dejanee, and Drea Symone. Although his relationships have been complicated, he remains involved with his children.
With a growing family and ongoing music career, NBA YoungBoy continues to make headlines for both his personal and professional life.
