*Floyd Mayweather says he’s “proud” his daughter Yaya had a child with rapper YoungBoy Never Broke Again.
It was reported in January 2021, that Yaya and YoungBoy welcomed their first child together, a boy. NBA Youngboy reportedly has six other children by multiple women.
Speaking with the Pivot podcast team on Tuesday, Mayweather was asked about his grandchild, saying: “I’m proud of my daughter even though she’s a little young to have a baby,” Mayweather said. “She’s 21 and she’ll be 22 this year but I’m proud of her. I’m proud of NBA YoungBoy. Very, very talented young kid. One of the biggest artists, as far as in music. He got a cult-like following. … I look at him just like one of my sons. I only want the best for him and I don’t want him having beef with anyone.”
Mayweather then noted that “so many young rappers are dying young,” which is why he serves as a strong support system for YoungBoy.

Elsewhere in the interview, Mayweather responded to Logan Paul’s claim of being owed money, as well as what he really thinks about his autograph-seeking fans.
“I love my fans because without my fans and my fans pushing me and supporting me and buying pay-per-view, I wouldn’t be where I’m at today,” Mayweather said. “So I apologize to any and everybody that I didn’t sign an autograph for or I didn’t take a picture [with].”
