Personal life

NBA YoungBoy, born Kentrell DeSean Gaulden in 1999 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, faced a challenging upbringing due to his father's lengthy prison sentence. Raised primarily by his maternal grandmother, his early years were marked by adversity, including a childhood accident that left scars on his forehead. He dropped out of high school as a teenager and was later arrested for robbery, leading to time in a detention center where he began writing lyrics. After his release, Gaulden moved in with his friend and fellow rapper, NBA 3Three, and turned to criminal activities to fund their studio time, setting the stage for his music career.

He has fathered eleven children with nine different women. Notably, two of his sons, Kacey and Kayden, made appearances in the music video for his single "Kacey Talk." In January 2023, he married his long-time girlfriend, Jazlyn Mychelle Hayes, who is the mother of two of his children.
