YB's just throwing out smoke these days.

It seems like no one's escaping NBA YoungBoy's wrath these days, even if they're on the right side of the story. Moreover, the Baton Rouge MC recently responded to the mother of one of his children, who called him out on Twitter. "Idk whether to get Ms. Sherhonda a Mother's Day gift or a fathers day gift... or both." For those unaware, Drea Symone referred to YB's mother Sherhonda, who's apparently been carrying the weight in raising their child Kodi Kapri. After that tweet, he took to Instagram to voice his frustration with the "entertaining" message and question her timing.

"I ain't gone even say nothing," YoungBoy paradoxically posted on his Instagram Story. "You obviously miserable tf you thinking bout me for and the tweet was too random you too grown. Stop entertaining them that's my job. & that's funny how you pop out trolling at a time like this wide p***y b***h." Yikes. Then, Drea returned to Twitter with a more serious takedown. "'At a time like this' I'll speak on a mf not being a father to my child any day of the week. I could gaf less about anything you got going... must've hit a nerve. Nobody on my mind bu Sherhonda... honestly."

NBA YoungBoy & Baby Mama Trade Social Media Shots

Of course, this is quite the ugly development, especially after the Don't Try This At Home artist's dismissive response. However, he's been on somewhat of a rampage these days, dissing Lil Durk, DJ Akademiks, and India Royale in one fell swoop. That beef is leading up to Friday (May 12), as both Durk and YoungBoy are dropping projects that day (Almost Healed and Richest Opp, respectively). Maybe YB will take a step away from social media and the drama afterwards, or he'll double down again and keep the heat on.

Regardless, the 23-year-old has a lot of kids to split his time with, although it's no excuse for the alleged neglect. Recently, news broke that he reportedly welcomed his 11th child, even if little to no details around them surfaced along with those reports. Hopefully he can put all his affairs in order and seek that personal balance that's only beneficial to his life, family, and peace of mind in the long run.
