Who Is Floyd Mayweather’s Grandson Kentrell Jr?

The divisions, from Super Featherweight to Light Middleweight, gained a share of the limelight during the last three decades, which hitherto hogged the Heavyweight and, to some extent, the Middleweight. One of the primary reasons for this shift in attraction could be attributed to one person’s entry. From 1996 to 2017, Floyd Mayweather Jr. fought fifty times and altered the previously held perceptions about the lower divisions in boxing. He fought some of the toughest boxers in his era but no one managed to outbox or outmaneuver him. Pundits and critics were left with no alternative but to acknowledge his dominance over the rest of the crowd. ESPN declared him the greatest pound-for-pound boxer of the last twenty-five years.

Over the years, boxing brought in the riches that catapulted Floyd Mayweather Jr. among the world’s wealthiest. However, he has never been shy of displaying possessions to the hordes of fans and followers. In his personal life, Mayweather Jr. was in a relationship with actress Josie Harris for nearly fifteen years. Though their relationship was full of upheavals, the couple became parents to Koraun, Zion, and Jirah. Then he dated Melissia Brim, with whom he had a daughter, Iyanna. Mayweather Jr. adopted Brim’s son from another relationship as well.

Who are Kentrell Jr’s parents?

Iyanna Mayweather was born in Nevada, Las Vegas, on May 20, 2000. At age fifteen, she completed her education, but she reportedly returned only after three years to collect her diploma certificate. Mayweather Jr. indulged his daughter and lavished her with expensive gifts such as an eighteen-carat “Canary Pristine” ring worth $5 million and cars like the Mercedes 550 S-Class and G-Class. In addition, big shots from the music industry, such as Justin Bieber, Drake, and Future, reportedly celebrated her birthdays with their performances.

At eighteen, she embarked on a relationship with rapper NBA YoungBoy. Born Kentrell DeSean Gaulden in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on October 20, 1999, YoungBoy began his musical journey from the year 2015. Reportedly, he stopped going to school after the ninth grade, and it was during one of his stays at a juvenile center he started penning lyrics for a song. In 2022, he received a Grammy nomination in the “Best Melodic Rap Performance” category. The twenty-three-year-old rapper is reportedly a father to ten kids from eight separate women.

According to an article published in hiphopdx.com, he married Jazz Mychelle, his girlfriend, on January 7. His net worth is reported to be in the neighborhood of $6 million.
