Social media erupted after Yaya Mayweather revealed a striking tattoo of rapper NBA YoungBoy’s face on her left arm as part of her 25th birthday celebration. The inked tribute, unveiled via a viral Instagram post, appeared alongside another attention-grabbing gift: a Lamborghini Urus, reportedly from YoungBoy himself.
Despite YoungBoy being currently married to Jazlyn Mychelle, the gesture reignited public fascination with the pair’s dramatic past. Yaya and YoungBoy—real name Kentrell Gaulden—have had a highly publicized, turbulent relationship since 2018 and share a son, Kentrell Jr., born in 2021.
Reactions online were split. Some praised Yaya’s loyalty and fearlessness, while others questioned the wisdom of permanently honoring a partner from a complicated past. The moment adds to a long history of celebrities using tattoos to mark personal chapters—sometimes as bold declarations of love, other times as lasting reminders of fleeting connections.
As the daughter of boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, Yaya’s decision could be seen as a statement of independence or emotional expression. Whether interpreted as romantic devotion or impulsive drama, her tattoo has once again put her at the center of pop culture conversation.
