NBA YoungBoy, one of hip-hop’s most prolific figures, has reportedly become a father for the 12th time.
The news of his latest child surfaced along with a photo of the baby girl, who is reportedly named Kiori. The child’s mother, identified as Hailey, shared the news on social media, suggesting that the baby may have been born last year.
Despite the timing of the announcement, it seems Kiori’s existence had remained under wraps until now. Hailey, who appears to be the ninth woman to have a child with the 24-year-old rapper, indicated that she had kept the birth private for personal reasons. Speculation about the timing and circumstances surrounding Kiori’s birth has stirred conversations online, though details remain somewhat vague.
This new addition to the family brings NBA YoungBoy’s total number of children to 12. His most recent child before Kiori was born in April of this year, although the identity and gender of that child have not been publicly disclosed. NBA YoungBoy, whose real name is Kentrell Gaulden, also shares two children with his wife, Jazlyn Michelle, whom he married in January 2023.
The Baton Rouge native’s growing family includes children with eight other women, some of whom are well-known figures, such as Yaya Mayweather, the daughter of boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, and social media personality Jania Meshell. NBA YoungBoy has continued to make headlines for his expanding family while simultaneously managing ongoing legal issues.
