If there is something one can surely say about Floyd Mayweather, it’s his unconditional support for those around him. He doesn’t hold back when it comes to giving expensive gifts to his loved ones. However, this time, the boxing legend is going to lend a hand to the father of his grandson- NBA YoungBoy.

NBA YoungBoy, aka Kentrell Gaulden, faced a setback in his federal firearms trial as a court ruling allowed a video of him holding a gun to be used as evidence. As a convicted felon, YoungBoy is prohibited from possessing firearms. As he waits for the results of his federal gun trial, he remains under house arrest. Meanwhile, Mayweather has come out to provide financial support to the rapper. Here’s what the boxing legend had to say.

Floyd Mayweather, the renowned boxing legend, is living large, showcasing his wealth in a recent social media post. Seated in his Extended Wheelbase Rolls Royce, Mayweather, often dubbed ‘Money,’ displayed his wealth. The scene showed him surrounded by two cash-filled briefcases while engrossed in the documentary of the classic Ali vs. Frazier bout.

In his own words, Mayweather shared, “Just another ordinary day. Chilling in a EWB Rolls Royce. Those that don’t know what a EWB is, that’s Extended Wheelbase Rolls Royce.” Moreover, he even joked about his height.  He remarked, “I need the leg room. I know I ain’t that tall – about 5’8″ in-a-half, some days 5’9″ – but it is what it is.” 

Furthermore, he announced that all the cash in the two briefcases is to go to YoungBoy, stating, “And the bag is crazy.” With another display of astonishing wealth, Mayweather is once again living up to his ‘Money’ moniker.

NBA YoungBoy’s legal setback…

NBA YoungBoy encountered a setback in his federal firearms trial as a crucial video, initially excluded, has been allowed as evidence. The U.S. Court of Appeals reversed the decision, permitting the inclusion of footage showing the rapper, a convicted felon, with a gun. The order read, “Kentrell Gaulden, a rapper professionally called YoungBoy Never Broke Again, or NBA YoungBoy, succeeded in suppressing a video that showed him, a felon, violating federal gun laws”.

The court order stated, “We agree with the government and therefore REVERSE the district court’s contrary judgment.”

Transitioning to YoungBoy’s legal history, in October 2021, he faced federal gun charges, securing release on $1.5 million bail with house arrest conditions. Despite a failed petition to lift house arrest restrictions in July, earlier this year, Judge Shelly Dick eased some conditions, allowing more visitors without curfew.
