“You Won’t Get Praise From Me!”: Former Super-Middleweight Star Slams Floyd Mayweather for Giving 2 Briefcases full of Money to NBA YoungBoy

Floyd Mayweather Jr. has extended a helping hand to a man who disrespected him. The American boxer-turned-promoter has decided to send two suitcases of money to NBA YoungBoy amid the latter’s rough patch. However, this didn’t sit well with Andre Dirrell, who learned the art of boxing from Floyd Mayweather Sr. and shares a close relationship with ‘Money’.

NBA YoungBoy is currently under house arrest as he awaits his federal gun trial this summer. In these days of uncertainty, as life takes a toll on the American rapper, Mayweather Jr. has offered to help him. In a video making the rounds on the internet, the 46-year-old is seen sitting in a luxurious ride and offering money-filled suitcases to the rapper. But Andre Dirrell is not “digg’n it.”

Andre Dirrell sees through Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s antics

“And the bag—it’s crazy. NBA YoungBoy, see all this? It’s on its way to you. Let’s go,” Floyd Mayweather Jr. announces in the clip. This irked Dirrell, who is long associated with the Mayweather family. Not only did he learn the ropes of boxing from Floyd Mayweather Sr., but he also fought under the ‘TMT’ banner.

Responding to the clip, Dirrell wrote, “Let’s keep it a buck. I ain’t digg’n it. Any young “BOY” disrespect me like nba did TBE, I wouldn’t rock wit him at all! It’s one thing to bag on one another, all good to go blow for blow, but it’s another to throw dirt on his name and treat me like dirt!!!”

“NO LOVE. Rather he’s just talking, or just hoping NBA come up on a bag! You won’t get praise from me! Giving me my respect as a grown ash man is warranted!!!,” he continued. Dirrell was upset with Mayweather Jr., who was ready to help NBA YoungBoy, despite the latter dissing him in a track. However, the former boxer has always been a fan of NBA YoungBoy, and their relationship goes beyond admiration.

What happened between Mayweather Jr. and NBA YoungBoy?

NBA YoungBoy and Yaya Mayweather have a baby boy together. But their relationship ended nastily. Since then, the rapper and the Mayweathers have had a strained dynamic. While NBA YoungBoy has thrown shade on the boxer, Mayweather Jr. is all praise for him.

“I’m proud of NBA oungBoy—a  very, very talented young kid. One of the biggest artists as far as in music. He’s got a cult-like following. I look at him just like one of my sons. I only want the best for him,” Mayweather Jr. said on The Pivot Podcast.
