Rapper NBA YoungBoy, whose real name is Kentrell Gaulden, erupted in a furious online confrontation with his mother, Sherhonda Gaulden, late Tuesday night, following a controversial interview with comedian Funny Marco. The explosive exchange, captured in a live-streamed video, laid bare a deeply fractured family relationship as the 24-year-old chart-topper accused his mother of lying about him on the internet and abandoning her responsibilities as a parent. The altercation began shortly after Funny Marco posted a clip of his sit-down with YoungBoy, during which the rapper made cryptic remarks about his upbringing.
Sherhonda then apparently took to social media to defend herself, prompting YoungBoy to unleash a torrent of anger in a raw, unedited video that has since gone đżđŸđđ¶đ.
In the video, YoungBoy can be seen pacing and shouting directly at his mother, who appears to be in the same room but off-camera at times. âContra, you donât talk to me or you donât talk to your kids. Quit playing me on this internet.
I let you lie on me too many motherf times,â he yelled, his voice cracking with emotion. The rapper referenced a previous video Sherhonda had made with Funny Marco, insisting that she was not present during the actual interview. âI went down there when you did that video with that man.
That man wasnât in your kitchen while I was in your kitchen. Quit playing with me, bro. I donât give a f,â he said, his tone escalating into a near scream.
The core of the dispute appears to stem from YoungBoyâs belief that his mother has publicly misrepresented their relationship. He accused her of never calling him and of being absent from his life, while simultaneously using his fame to gain attention online. âYou donât never call me.
Just stop lying on me, bro. Where my Iranian? You supposed to come to my⊠you supposed to come to my⊠I canât say nothing about her wrong.
All I ever said is I never talk to her again,â he ranted, his words sometimes unintelligible due to his fury. The rapper then directly addressed his motherâs claim that she was present during the Funny Marco interview, dismissing it as a lie. âShe go and flash and talk about going to lie on me and this and that.
Then bro, you watch. She say she was right there while we did the interview. Man, this lady is mentally ill, but just like me though.â
YoungBoyâs tirade took a darker turn when he began to question his motherâs history and motivations. âShe ainât never been a career day in her life. You watching this s.
Yeah. You literally watching what the f is, man. Stop playing with me, man,â he said, gesturing wildly.
At multiple points, he seemed to be addressing both his mother and an unseen audience, perhaps his children or other family members. âTell man, say man story. Look, I ainât going to even do it.
Hey, just leave it alone. And it ainât right. It ainât right, son.
It ainât right, bro. Everybody want a response from me. Damn.
Damn. Nothing nothing. Now I canât go back to sleeping with you.â
The rapperâs frustration appeared to be compounded by the fact that he had tried to remain silent about his motherâs behavior. âSay nothing wrong about this stupid. I know you didnât say nothing wrong about her.
You didnât say nothing. N real talk. You ainât say nothing wrong about this stupid.
All I say I never told this b again. She come on talking about oh about my kid. My kids got to do anything.
Dumb. The f is wrong with you, man?â he shouted, his voice breaking.
The video then showed a moment of near-physical confrontation as YoungBoyâs mother attempted to approach him. âThen this gonna say she was right there while we did the interview. You ainât never been in a career day in your life.
A lot of people donât even know my relationship with her. They behind and seen this stupid my grandma face. This stupid my face before.
She ainât got no love for I donât get no going get on his say, âOh, when I see him, Iâm going to bust his head about what he said about his mom.â Boy, I will bust your stupid a.â
The rapper then directed his anger at an unnamed third party who had apparently threatened him on behalf of his mother. âYou better ask her. You better ask him how your stupid a…
You better mind your motherfing business. Then act got me so mad. He gonna post that stupid s.
You dumb. All I⊠Bro, all you had to do was call me and I can tell you brother never been a career day in LA. Oh no, you got my fing s**.
Post. Come on. Give me a hug, man.
Give me a hug,â he said, his tone shifting from rage to a sarcastic, almost mocking calm. The video ended with YoungBoy embracing his mother, but the tension was palpable.
This is not the first time YoungBoy has publicly aired grievances with his family. The Louisiana rapper, who has seven children from multiple relationships, has often spoken about his troubled childhood and his motherâs struggles with addiction. In previous interviews, he has described her as both a source of pain and a figure he still loves.
However, the intensity of Tuesdayâs outburst suggests a breaking point. The video, originally posted on the platform 9 Mag, has already amassed millions of views, with fans and critics alike dissecting every word.
Social media exploded with reactions, with many users expressing concern for YoungBoyâs mental health. âThis is heartbreaking to watch. Heâs clearly in pain and needs help,â one Twitter user wrote.
Others took sides, with some defending Sherhonda and others accusing her of exploiting her sonâs fame. âSheâs been doing this for years. Heâs right to be angry,â another comment read.
The hashtag #NBAYoungBoyMom trended for several hours, reflecting the publicâs fascination with the rapperâs tumultuous family dynamics.
Funny Marco, the comedian whose interview sparked the feud, has not publicly commented on the incident. However, sources close to the situation say he was taken aback by the fallout. âHe just wanted to do a fun interview, not start a family war,â an insider told reporters.
The interview itself contained no overtly controversial statements, but YoungBoyâs offhand remarks about his motherâs lack of involvement in his career apparently triggered her response.
Legal experts have weighed in on the potential consequences. While the argument was a private family matter, the public nature of the video could lead to defamation claims if either party decides to pursue legal action. âThis is a textbook case of airing dirty laundry in the most public forum possible,â said attorney Linda Carter.
âBut given the emotional state of both parties, itâs more likely theyâll reconcile behind closed doors than take it to court.â
As of press time, neither YoungBoy nor Sherhonda has issued a formal statement. The rapperâs team has declined to comment, and Sherhondaâs social media accounts have been deactivated. The incident adds another layer to YoungBoyâs already complex public persona.
He is currently on probation for federal weapons charges and has been under house arrest, but he continues to release music and maintain a massive online following. His latest album, âI Rest My Case,â debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 earlier this year.
The video has sparked a broader conversation about the pressures of fame and the toll it takes on family relationships. Mental health advocates have urged fans not to pile on the individuals involved. âThis is a cry for help, not a spectacle,â said Dr.
Rachel Kim, a psychologist specializing in trauma. âThe constant scrutiny of their lives is damaging. They need privacy and professional support, not more public judgment.â
In the hours following the videoâs release, several of YoungBoyâs peers in the hip-hop community reached out privately, according to sources. Rapper Lil Durk, who has also had public family disputes, reportedly called YoungBoy to offer support. âHe knows what itâs like to have family đčđđ¶đđ¶ spill into the streets,â a mutual friend said.
âHe told him to step back and breathe.â
The timeline of events remains murky. The Funny Marco interview was recorded last week but only posted online Tuesday evening. Sherhondaâs initial response came within minutes, and YoungBoyâs video followed shortly after.
The back-and-forth suggests that the rapper was already simmering with anger before the interview even aired. âHeâs been holding this in for a long time,â a former associate noted. âSheâs been talking about him online for months, and he finally snapped.â
Meanwhile, YoungBoyâs children are reportedly caught in the middle. The rapper has custody of several of his kids, and his mother reportedly helps with childcare. The video included a moment where he referenced his children, shouting, âMy kids got to do anything?
Dumb. The f** is wrong with you, man?â This has led to speculation that the dispute may involve custody or visitation rights.
As the story continues to develop, fans are left wondering what comes next. Will YoungBoy and his mother reconcile, or is this the final straw? The rapperâs concluding words in the videoââGive me a hug, man.
Give me a hugââhint at a desire for connection, even amid the chaos. But the damage may already be done. The video has been viewed over 10 million times across platforms, and it shows no signs of slowing down.
In the world of hip-hop, family feuds are nothing new, but this one feels particularly raw. YoungBoy, who has been open about his own mental health struggles, now faces the added pressure of a public family breakdown. His mother, too, is a figure of public sympathy and scrutiny.
The video ends with an embrace, but the wounds are far from healed.
For now, the rapper has turned off comments on his social media accounts, and his team has asked for privacy. The 9 Mag channel that first posted the video has since removed it, but copies have been re-uploaded hundreds of times. The internetâs memory is long, and this moment will likely follow YoungBoy for years to come.
As the sun rises on a new day, the question remains: can this family find a way back to each other, or will the cameras and the comments keep them apart? Only time will tell. But one thing is certain: the world is watching, and the đčđđ¶đđ¶ is far from over.
