July 28, 2025 — Baton Rouge rapper NBA YoungBoy, known for his raw lyrics, loyal fanbase, and turbulent personal life, has once again made headlines — this time, for expanding his already large family.
At just 25 years old, YoungBoy, born Kentrell DeSean Gaulden, has confirmed that he is expecting his 13th child, adding yet another chapter to his complex and often scrutinized personal journey. The news came via a now-viral social media post, in which the rapper shared a photo of him cradling a baby bump with the caption: “Blessed again. Family is everything to me.”
Fans, critics, and media outlets alike were quick to respond, with reactions ranging from support to disbelief. Some praised the rapper’s openness and continued dedication to fatherhood, while others questioned how he balances his music career and parenting responsibilities.
YoungBoy has addressed his growing family in previous interviews and music, often expressing a deep emotional bond with his children. “I don’t care what people say,” he told Billboard in a 2023 interview. “My kids know I love them. I make sure they’re taken care of — that’s what matters.”
The mother of the unborn child has not been publicly identified, and YoungBoy has yet to provide further details. The rapper is known to have children with multiple women, a subject that has often sparked online debate — especially given his young age.
Despite ongoing legal issues, house arrest stints, and a controversial public image, NBA YoungBoy has remained a dominant figure in hip-hop, with streaming numbers consistently putting him among the most-listened-to artists in the world. His loyal fanbase, dubbed “YoungBoy Never Broke Again Nation,” continues to support his music and personal choices.
While critics raise eyebrows, YoungBoy appears unfazed, focusing on his music, his children, and — according to those close to him — a quieter lifestyle in recent years. “He’s grown a lot,” said a longtime associate. “He’s trying to do better — for himself and for his kids.”
With 13 children and a career still going strong, NBA YoungBoy continues to defy expectations and dominate headlines — on his own terms.
