NBA YoungBoy, born Kentrell DeSean Gaulden, is one of the most prolific and controversial figures in modern hip-hop. Beyond his chart-topping music and legal battles, he is also a father to a large and growing family. As of early 2026, the rapper has at least 11 children—some reports suggest as many as 13—with several women, including his wife, Jazlyn Mychelle. His children have appeared in his music videos and have inspired song titles like '4 Sons of a King' and 'Kacey Talk.' Here is a detailed look at every one of NBA YoungBoy's known sons and daughters.

Kayden Gaulden (Age 9)

Kayden Gaulden was born on July 4, 2016, in Louisiana to YoungBoy and his then-girlfriend Nisha Keller. At the time, YoungBoy was only 16 years old, but he was already building his music career. In a 2017 interview with The Fader, the rapper stated, 'I got f---ing children. I got a family that depend on me.' Kayden and his half-brother Kamron were featured in the accompanying photo shoot. YoungBoy has often said he tries to keep his kids with him everywhere he goes.

Kamron Gaulden (Age 9)

Kamron Gaulden was born on July 19, 2016, to YoungBoy's ex-girlfriend Starr Dejanee. Dejanee also has an older son from a previous relationship. YoungBoy initially believed Kamron was his biological son and raised him as such. In 2018, however, he learned that Kamron was not his biological child. In a since-deleted Facebook post, he expressed being 'hurt' but vowed to continue raising 'Baby K' as his own. The decision reflects his commitment to family, regardless of biology. Kamron continues to be part of YoungBoy's life and appears in family photos.

Taylin Gaulden (Age 9)

Taylin 'Tay Tay' Gaulden was born on March 19, 2017, to YoungBoy and a woman named Nia. The relationship was brief, and YoungBoy did not announce Taylin's birth until after Kamiri's arrival. In June 2018, Taylin and his mother were involved in a serious car accident that left the boy hospitalized. YoungBoy later released a song titled '4 Sons of a King' dedicated to his sons, and Taylin appeared in the music video alongside Kayden, Kamiri, and Kacey.

Kamiri Gaulden (Age 8)

Kamiri Gaulden, also known as 'K3,' was born on July 6, 2017, to YoungBoy and Starr Dejanee. He is the couple's second child together. Following the paternity revelation regarding Kamron, YoungBoy and Dejanee split, but they maintain a co-parenting relationship. In 2021, Dejanee wished YoungBoy a happy Father's Day on social media and shared a TikTok describing Kamiri as 'the one who try anything with no fear,' showing him water-skiing. Kamiri also appears in the music video for 'There Go Dada.'

Kacey Alexander Gaulden (Age 7)

Kacey Alexander Gaulden was born on February 13, 2019, to YoungBoy and influencer Jania Meshell. The couple's relationship was highly publicized and tumultuous. In February 2018, YoungBoy was arrested on charges of aggravated assault and kidnapping related to an incident with Meshell caught on surveillance video. The charges were later dropped, and he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor battery and family violence in December 2019. Despite the legal issues, Kacey remains close to his father. YoungBoy dedicated the song 'Kacey Talk' to his son, and both Kacey and Kayden appear in the music video.

Armani Gaulden (Age 6)

Armani Gaulden was born on June 19, 2020, to YoungBoy and Nisha Keller. She is the couple's second child together and YoungBoy's first daughter. In July 2020, during an Instagram Live with Rich the Kid, YoungBoy clarified how many children he had, stating, 'I got four little boys and I got one daughter. Her name is Armani. I got another daughter on the way though.' The clarification came after his song 'death enclaimed,' in which he mentioned 'four lil boys and two lil girls.'

Kodi Capri Gaulden (Age 5)

Kodi Capri Gaulden was born on November 26, 2020, to YoungBoy and model/actress Drea Symone. Symone celebrated her first birthday with an Instagram post in 2021, writing, 'November 26th 2020, God blessed me with a little feisty Sagittarius and I named her Kodi Capri. Happy 1st Birthday to my sweet wild child.' Kodi is YoungBoy's second daughter and has appeared in family photos shared by the rapper.

Kentrell DeSean Gaulden Jr. (Age 5)

Kentrell DeSean Gaulden Jr. was born on January 9, 2021, to YoungBoy and then-girlfriend Iyanna 'Yaya' Mayweather, the daughter of boxing legend Floyd Mayweather. The birth was widely covered due to the high-profile parents. YoungBoy shares custody with Mayweather, and the child is often seen in the rapper's social media posts. Kentrell Jr. is named after his father, continuing the Gaulden legacy.

Alice Gaulden (Age 4)

Alice Gaulden was born on August 30, 2021, to YoungBoy and his now-wife, Jazlyn Mychelle. Mychelle announced the birth in December 2021 with an Instagram post captioned 'Love Alice Gaulden.' YoungBoy confirmed to Billboard that Alice was named after his beloved grandmother, who raised him for much of his childhood and passed away in 2010. Her portrait hangs above the fireplace in his home. The rapper often credited his grandmother with spoiling him, and the name carries deep emotional significance.

Klemenza Tru Gaulden (Age 3)

Klemenza Tru Gaulden was born in September 2022 to YoungBoy and Mychelle. The couple did not reveal his exact date of birth. Mychelle shared the news on Instagram with a photo of YoungBoy feeding their newborn, captioned 'Father and son.' YoungBoy told Billboard that Klemenza's name was inspired by Peter Clemenza, a character from The Godfather, whose loyalty he admired. Like his sister Alice, Klemenza represents a new chapter for the rapper, who has settled into married life in Utah after being pardoned by President Donald Trump on federal gun charges.

YoungBoy and Mychelle's Third Child (Born February 2026)

On February 22, 2026, YoungBoy announced via Instagram Stories that Mychelle had given birth to their third child. The rapper posted a video of himself sitting on a hospital bed beside Mychelle, saying, 'My gangsta had her baby.' Mychelle expressed she felt 'relieved.' The sex and name of the child have not been disclosed. This marks the couple's third child together, adding to their growing family. YoungBoy's children have become a central theme in his personal life, often appearing in his music and social media. He has spoken about the importance of being present for his kids despite his demanding career and legal troubles.

NBA YoungBoy's journey as a father has been as complex as his music career. From his first son Kayden, born when he was a teenager, to his latest child with his wife in 2026, the rapper has navigated paternity tests, custody battles, and public controversies. His children have inspired some of his most personal songs and have been featured in videos that showcase both his tender and volatile sides. As of 2026, he continues to co-parent with multiple mothers while raising his youngest three with Mychelle in Utah, where he now focuses on family life. The ever-expanding Gaulden clan remains a testament to his deep commitment to fatherhood, despite the challenges that come with fame and a troubled past.
