Rapper NBA YoungBoy, known for his prolific music career and equally headline-making personal life, has once again made waves by welcoming his 12th child — all at the young age of 24.
The Baton Rouge-born artist, whose real name is Kentrell DeSean Gaulden, took to social media to share the joyful news with fans. In a heartfelt yet confident post, YoungBoy expressed immense pride and happiness about the newest addition to his growing family.
“Blessed beyond words. My lil one just touched down. We good over here, love just keeps growing,” he captioned, alongside a photo of him holding the newborn. The rapper didn’t stop there. In classic YoungBoy fashion, he made sure to remind everyone that he’s more than capable of handling a large family.

“My mansion got enough space for 10 more, easy. We built for this,” he said in a live stream, gesturing around the lavish property he currently resides in — a sprawling estate complete with multiple wings, a private theater, indoor gym, and a massive backyard perfect for kids to run free.
Known for balancing a fast-paced music career with fatherhood, YoungBoy has often spoken about how deeply he values being a dad. While his lifestyle may raise eyebrows, he’s unapologetic and fiercely proud of his children, frequently featuring them in his music videos and public appearances.
