Yaya Mayweather Tattoos NBA YoungBoy’s Face — and Everyone Has an Opinion

While most girls unwrap flowers and jewelry on their birthdays, Yaya Mayweather took a different route: she unwrapped a Lamborghini Urus and revealed a tattoo of NBA YoungBoy’s face on her arm. No, seriously.

 

 

A birthday gift that stole the spotlight

Yaya, daughter of boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, turned 25 and celebrated in the most talked-about way possible. Her new ink — a detailed portrait of rapper NBA YoungBoy on her left forearm — quickly lit up social media. And while the car gift allegedly came from the rapper himself, the tattoo arguably got more attention than the Lambo.

Small detail: YoungBoy is married now. Just not to Yaya.

But when you ink your ex’s face on your body, people are going to notice — and post, repost, and analyze. Some praised her loyalty, others questioned her judgment. But one thing’s for sure: it was never going to go unnoticed.

 

 

A love story written in headlines

For those catching up: Yaya and YoungBoy (real name Kentrell Gaulden) first linked up in 2018. Their relationship had everything — breakups, makeups, viral drama, even legal trouble that landed Yaya on probation in 2020. They also share a son, Kentrell Jr., born in 2021, which means the bond between them never really faded.

Now she’s wearing it — permanently.

Statement of love… or independence?

Getting an ex’s face tattooed is never a low-key move. From Nick Cannon’s ink for Mariah Carey to Ariana Grande’s tributes to Pete Davidson, tattoo history is full of romantic regret — or performance art, depending on how you look at it.

Maybe for Yaya, it’s not just about YoungBoy. Maybe it’s about stepping out of her father’s massive shadow and owning her narrative — messy, bold, emotional. It’s her arm, her story, her moment.

 

 

Editor’s note:

If you get a tattoo of your ex’s face, it better be good. If you’re Yaya Mayweather, the internet is going to lose its mind over it. Is it love? Drama? A defiant power move? Maybe all of the above.

And honestly — would you be brave enough to celebrate your 25th this way?
