Yaya Mayweather went all-in on mommy mode, baking a midnight cake with her son KJ to mark his fifth birthday. The sweet celebration follows her recent online shade toward ex NBA YoungBoy over alleged visitation snubs. Family rallied around with posts from grandma Melissa and grandpa Floyd.
Oh, the drama never sleeps in the Mayweather-YoungBoy saga! Yaya Mayweather, daughter of boxing legend Floyd, served up some serious heartwarming vibes by whipping up a homemade cake for her and NBA YoungBoy's son, Kentrell Jr. (aka KJ), on his big 5th birthday. Per her Instagram Stories, KJ requested the treat at midnight, and Yaya made it happen—capturing the duo cracking eggs into the mix with R. Kelly's 'It's Your Birthday' bumping in the background. 🔥
Fast-forward to the party: KJ, rocking a Spider-Man tee, beams at the kitchen island as loved ones, including Yaya, belt out 'Happy Birthday.' She overlaid Anita Baker's 'You Bring Me Joy' for that extra emotional punch (no original audio, naturally). The rectangular cake? Frosted half white, half light red—simple, sweet, and zero five-star bakery needed, even with daddy's reported $300 million net worth.
But hold up, roomies—this wholesome moment dropped right after Yaya allegedly put NBA YoungBoy on blast via X (formerly Twitter). Without naming names, she tweeted gems like, “The favoritism is crazy,” and “I’ve never heard of someone going to the same state their child lives in and doesn’t see them.” Oof. In response to a user, she added, “No it hurt my son’s feelings, and it’s up with anyone about my child.” Since then? Her X account's seemingly deactivated. No deets on their co-parenting setup, but last month, Yaya thanked him publicly for gifting KJ a puppy at Christmas. Mixed signals much? 😏
Enter the grandparents for the save! Grandma Melissa flooded Instagram with studio shots of KJ, captioning: “Happy Happy Birthday to my favorite person in the world. I can’t believe you’re 5 already where has the time gone…? GOD gave him to my daughter at the perfect time. He healed all of us in so many ways & has been the Biggest & Best Blessing to our family. He is the smartest, sweetest, most caring baby. I knew from the 1st time I looked into his eyes right after he was born that he’s going to be a star & somebody very special. The way he calls me MyMy, holds my hand & doesn’t play about me that’s my baby! I love you Bubb Bubbz HBD 🥳🎂🎁🎈 @kjmeezymayweather.” Adorable overload!
Grandpa Floyd jumped in too, posting IG Stories of him and KJ: gym sessions, skating fun, and chill lap time—all tagged to KJ's account. The little one's been stealing hearts with those boxing workouts for years. So, is this family feud cooling off, or just the calm before more tea? Spill your thoughts!
