In a heartwarming family celebration, Yaya Mayweather orchestrated a memorable surprise for her son, KJ, who celebrated his fifth birthday on Saturday. The event was made even more special by the presence of his legendary grandfather, boxing icon Floyd Mayweather.
A Surprise Filled with Joy and Family Love
The birthday party was themed around basketball and overflowed with happiness and cheer. Videos circulating on social media captured the precious moment when young KJ entered the room blindfolded, completely unaware of the celebration awaiting him. Upon removing the blindfold, his face lit up at the sight of a room decked with balloons, vibrant decorations, and the beaming faces of loved ones.
In an instant, the little boy dashed across the floor and leaped into the welcoming arms of his grandfather, Floyd Mayweather. The gathered crowd erupted in loud cheers, celebrating this tender family moment. KJ's grandmother, Melissia Reneé, was nearby, diligently recording the entire heartwarming scene for posterity.
Yaya Mayweather Addresses Co-Parenting and Issues Public Apology
The festive occasion followed a period of online tension from Yaya Mayweather, who shares her son KJ with rapper NBA YoungBoy. Initially, Yaya had expressed frustration on social media, stating that the rapper had not contributed to the birthday plans and acknowledging her father's role in making the day special.
However, Yaya later returned to her Instagram Stories to set the record straight and offer a sincere apology. She expressed regret for airing private co-parenting matters in a public forum. "I want to apologize for bringing personal issues between me and my child’s father to the internet," she wrote. "That was something that should have stayed private."
She admitted to acting out of frustration, acknowledging that high emotions and a disagreement did not justify her public posts. Crucially, she retracted her earlier statement about NBA YoungBoy's involvement. "I also want to correct the things I said about him not helping with our son because that was wrong," Yaya clarified. "He does help. Anytime I ask him for anything no matter what it is… even if it’s for me he makes it happen."
Focusing on Growth and Peace for KJ's Sake
Yaya explained that the disagreement stemmed from a delay in receiving funds intended for KJ's birthday celebrations. "We spoke and he said he would give me the money that was paid for our son’s birthday back," she shared. "I just got upset because it wasn’t happening as quickly as I wanted and I let my emotions take over."
Concluding her message on a forward-looking note, Yaya emphasized the importance of healthy communication for their child's well-being. "We’re both learning how to communicate and co-parent in a healthy way for our child’s sake, and for our own peace," she stated. Despite the preceding online friction, KJ's fifth birthday ultimately stood as a powerful testament to the enduring pillars of love, family unity, and unwavering support.
