Floyd Mayweather Confirms Yaya Is Pregnant With NBA Youngboy’s Child

The tumultuous relationship of NBA Youngboy and Yaya Mayweather has made plenty of headlines over the year but Floyd Mayweather has said very little about it. And as rumors of pregnancy have heated up on the Internet, plenty of people have been stuck speculating on whether or not it’s true.

Turns out, it is. Floyd Mayweather recently sat down with Jason Lee on Hollywood Unlocked where he confirmed Yaya’s pregnancy. “I just want the best for my daughter,” Floyd said after he was asked about the relationship between his daughter and the Baton Rouge rapper. “If that makes her happy, then we’re happy. Me and her mother is happy,” he added.

“What I try not to do is get into her personal business. Because once she’s no longer under my roof then, you know what, it’s between her and her better half,” he said of the relationship. That’s when he addressed that viral comment of NBA Youngboy referring to him as Yaya’s “bitch ass daddy.”

“My thing is this: it has to do with your upbringing,” Floyd continued. “It starts in the home first. So what I’ve always taught my daughter is this — always be respectful when you go to anyone’s home. And whatever goes on in your home, don’t talk about it to the world. And far as — ’cause I look at NBA Youngboy as a child. I can’t get upset with a kid like that. With this new generation, kids, you know, kids talk about pills and kids talk about syrup. So you know, it could’ve been one of those days for him. At the end of the day, I only want the best for them.”

Of course, that clip that Floyd Mayweather is talking about stems from NBA Youngboy’s rift with Kodak Black and co. earlier this year. Youngboy ended up going on a rant where he lashed out at everyone. “Bout, bout, bout, bout, bout my wife. You talking ’bout my wife?” NBA Youngboy asked his IG Live audience. “Inside my house that I paid for. Not her bitch ass daddy, n***a, huh?!”

Clearly, Floyd Mayweather isn’t harboring any hard feelings around his daughter’s boyfriend’s comments.

DJ Akademiks questions if Lil Durk will get bond as the racketeering case goes on

Lil Durk’s legal battle is about to take another big step, and DJ Akademiks is already sharing his expectations for what could go down when the rapper returns to court in November.

Durk is in custody, awaiting his next VICAR case in which authorities say he was running a criminal enterprise. His next trial was set for October 5, but recent developments have called into question when those proceedings will occur.

Durk’s murder for hire trial recently resulted in a not guilty verdict in November. Regardless of that outcome, he remains in custody because the separate racketeering related charges remain unresolved. Durk’s attorneys have asked for the new hearing and have been ordered to appear by U.S. Probation and Pretrial Services, which also must submit a fresh bail report.

Against that backdrop, legal commentator Bradford Cohen had previously suggested Durk could eventually get bond. That view ties in with Durk’s not-guilty verdict in the earlier case, and the argument that the outcome could make it harder to sustain the remaining allegations.

DJ Akademiks sees things a bit differently. In a recent livestream, Akademiks predicted that Durk would not get a bond at the Nov. hearing. He believes the charges will stick and cites the seriousness of the allegations in the VICAR case as his reasoning. He also doesn’t appear to expect the rapper to be released from jail anytime soon as the case moves forward.

Akademiks’ prediction concerns the bond hearing, not Durk’s chances at trial. Durk’s legal situation remains unresolved for now. His recent acquittal has altered the circumstances of his arrest, but the separate racketeering case still looms over the rapper as both sides prepare for the next phase.

DJ Akademiks Resurrects 2015 Drake vs. Meek Mill Beef With Alleged Nicki Minaj Backstory

DJ Akademiks is digging up hip-hop history buried for 10 years as he offers his supposed explanation for how the Drake/Meek Mill feud came to a head in 2015. The back-and-forth between Akademiks and Meek Mill has resurfaced the conversation. Akademiks returned to the long-running Drake-Meek beef on his stream last night, saying a comment by Nicki Minaj had something to do with what happened between the two rappers.

According to Akademiks, Meek and Minaj were shopping at a designer fashion store when they got to the register. He says that when Meek told her he didn’t have the cash to pay for Minaj, she allegedly told him he would never be Drake. Akademiks also claims Minaj left the store on her own, and then Meek went on X, and what happened next started the infamous feud with Drake.

The account remains an allegation, not a confirmed explanation. The information provided has not been independently verified, and ultimately only those involved, including Minaj and Meek Mill, could confirm the story’s authenticity.

The beef between Drake and Meek Mill started in 2015 and has become a staple in hip-hop conversation. Meek struggled after the fallout, while the beef became a defining moment in Drake’s career. However, the two eventually made up and collaborated on “Going Bad,” signaling a return to a more cooperative relationship despite the rivalry’s tension.

Now that Akademiks and Meek are throwing shots again, the events of 2015 are back in the conversation. By reflecting on the feud, Akademiks has added another possible piece of context to a story that has been a hot topic in hip-hop for years.

Whether his version of events is what actually happened, however, remains unresolved. Currently, the designer-store story isn’t factual, but it is Akademiks’ version of the events surrounding the beef.
