Video summary
The video centers on a heated and emotional confrontation between NBA YoungBoy's mother and his close friend Funny Marco regarding the public airing of their family dynamics during an interview. The core issue arises when NBA YoungBoy discusses his childhood struggles with trauma and survival, noting that he feels disconnected from his biological mother because she adheres strictly to traditional methods taught by her own parents rather than understanding his need for emotional support in a modern context. His grandmother is portrayed as the primary source of unconditional love and stability in his life, creating a stark contrast between the two generations of women who raised him. This generational gap becomes the focal point of tension when NBA YoungBoy's mother decides to publicly address her son's comments on social media platforms like Facebook Live, accusing him of lying about her presence during specific interviews and claiming she has been marginalized by his current lifestyle choices.
The conflict escalates as both parties exchange sharp accusations regarding honesty, loyalty, and the nature of their relationship in the age of digital fame. NBA YoungBoy defends himself against claims that he abandoned his mother or failed to support her career aspirations, while simultaneously criticizing her for seeking attention online about personal family matters without first consulting him directly. His mother counters by expressing deep hurt over perceived inconsistencies in how she is treated compared to others and questions why he does not call her anymore despite being a celebrity figurehead. The dialogue reveals that the situation has gone beyond simple misunderstandings into a battle of narratives, where each side feels justified in their actions but deeply offended by the other's interpretation of events. Both parties express frustration with how internet culture amplifies private family disputes, turning what should be internal conversations into public spectacles that attract judgment and speculation from strangers.
Beyond the immediate arguments about specific incidents, the conversation touches on broader societal shifts regarding parenting styles, respect for elders, and the influence of media on youth behavior. The speakers debate whether modern parents are failing to provide proper guidance or if older generations are unfairly judging new methods of raising children in a fast-paced world filled with trauma and mental health challenges. There is also a discussion about how white American culture often sensationalizes stories involving family conflict while downplaying similar issues within Black communities, leading to accusations of bias from both sides. Ultimately, the video concludes by acknowledging that no single party is entirely right or wrong; rather, it highlights the complexity of navigating familial bonds when fame, trauma, and differing worldviews collide in an era where privacy is increasingly difficult to maintain online.

ons.
>> You close with your mom?
>> I feel like we we close, but it's I feel
like we can be closer
and it's hard to connect with her
because I try to bring her from a
getting out of survival mode.
And my mama, she only follow what her
mama showed her,
you know, food steps in section 8. So
that's crazy.
>> Um I was just one of those kids when
they I remember I was getting Wi-Fi and
the neighbor asked for the password and
I give it to him and I pissed my mom off
and she always used to just say like
what's this is ours. So and it was
always us against them and she didn't
really teach us how to love other people
but I get to experience my grandma. My
grandma was more open. My grandma was
love in church.
>> You know,
I think my relationship with my mama
used to be a big part of my anger.
>> It ain't got nothing to do with no
dollar. Uh, it ain't got nothing to do
with my trauma no more or something that
I was supposedly angry about.
>> Just love him. Yeah, cuz that's my
grandmother to daughter and I love my
grandma deeply.
>> Mhm.
>> Do you remember how you and your grandma
relationship?
>> Contra, you don't talk to me or you
don't talk to your kids. Quit playing on
me on this internet. I let you lie on me
too many times. I wasn't down there when
you did that that video with that man.
That man wasn't in your kitchen while I
was in your kitchen. Quit playing on me,
bro. I don't give a You don't never call
me. Just stop lying on me, bro.
>> [snorts]
>> Wow. Wow. Guys, let me let me just stop
this, man. I'm going to stop it right
there, man. It's it, you know, I think a
lot of people take these mamas and these
sons and these family things. We take a
lot of stuff for granted that go both
ways. But boy, let me tell you, it's not
easy to be a parent. It's not easy to be
a child and trying to figure it out. OG,
you there? [clears throat]
I don't know if OG's there. OG, are you
there?
>> What you mean, am I here? for it ain't
easy. It ain't easy to be a parent. It
ain't easy. How come it ain't easy?
>> It ain't no book to being a parent, man.
Let me tell you something, man.
>> He jumped up and he did an interview and
he didn't see this coming. He was just
talking about the mother and and and his
grandmother. He said, "I love her
because, you know, she a part of my
grandma, but you know, it's like, you
know, she heard something that he said
and and and you know, the one thing
about it, she's she's take she's brings
up the kids and all kind of stuff in
this." I don't think she should have
jumped on the internet with it. I think
she should have just let him ride it out
cuz he's the one in the limelight as a
celebrity, the NBA Young Boy.
>> So, I don't think I don't think she
should have jumped up and just jumped on
there. I think she should have just, you
know, she had something to say to him,
said it to him.
>> Yeah. When a parent gets in their
feelings and have to air out something
about their child, well, it was your
inconsistency that had them say that.
And so, well, I did the best I No. When
you was living your life and not making
sacrifices for certain things, it's
certain things that as a mother,
uh, you should put down in front of your
children.
putting everything in front of them or
taking things and then when they bring
it back to you, you feel offended about
it. And that's No, no, bro. It's a book
behind that. It's
>> I think NBA Young Boy should he should
have, you know, he he was just opening
up about his growing up as a child. I
don't think he meant no ill will at the
time when he was doing it with Funny
Marco. Funny Marco was talking about his
mom, his grandmama, his situation. I've
never seen really funny Marco do a
interview like this. He's been real
serious with uh it's like they're almost
just talking and they just having a
conversation. But this conversation led
to opening up some some wounds, man. Um
some things that hurt people that are
hurt that haven't dealt with some of the
deep down issues that they have. They
never talked about them. And so when
when you hear somebody say something,
you've been wanting an opportunity to go
off anyway. I've been when I if he say
something, I'mma go off because he ain't
called. He ain't really been looking out
like he used to. He don't even speak to
us no more, man. You know what? If he
say something, I'm going go off on him.
And I think this was a go off moment.
And you know, NBA Young Boy, he reacts
to it with uh funny Marco. He jumps on
the live after that and talks some more.
And it's gonna be hard to understand
this, but just hear me out on it.
>> I didn't came across this. I didn't came
across this [ __ ] with my uh with my
Iranian D.

help me out. But you won't get that,

about going to lie on me and this and
that. Then bro, you watch. She say she

Damn. Damn. Nothing.
Now I can't go back to sleeping with

In my face before I got no love for that

All, bro. All you had to do is call me

alone. What the [ __ ] y'all better do,
[ __ ]
He He didn't He didn't see that about to
happen. She jumped on there and people
start reacting. You NBA Young Boy, of
course people going to stop start
reacting and he thinking people going to
post it when they see it. I get it. He
could have called you. But man, if he
don't do it, somebody else going to do
it. What do you think's going to happen?
You're NBA Young Boy. She's your mother.
As soon as she jump on the vlogs is
going to pick it up automatically. So, I
wouldn't be getting mad at nobody about
that. But the thing is, just to get this
stuff, you know, on the internet, jump
back on the internet with Funny Marco.
go back in on it again. I I don't know
about that. You know, I This is your
This is your This is family stuff now.
Y'all got it out here looking real
crazy. And she came back and said, "I
didn't even realize this wasn't the same
interview I sit in on."
>> I thought this was the video y'all made
in Korea. I mean, in Utah when I was
down there in front of Michael down
there. I thought you said that in that
video when Marco came to Utah and you
were supposed to be doing the interview
with him. And when I was at your house
in the kitchen and he was there, I
thought you said that and you talk. I
thought this was THAT VIDEO. NO, I AIN'T
NEVER BEEN CAREER. SO YOU AIN'T GOING TO
NEVER MAKE ME no liar about nothing.
So keep my name OUT YOUR MOUTH AND YET
YOU SAYING SOMETHING BAD. YOU ALWAYS
TALKING BAD ON ME.
>> WOW, MAN. This internet, man. OG, what
do you think about it, man? Did I mean,
let's go back in your day. If you had
have had the internet back then, would
would you and your mom would have got on
here and went back and forth?
>> Oh, no. No. I mean, uh, I would have no
reason to go back and forth with my mom,
you know, because I mean, that's why I'm
in the position I'm in with women right
now because uh to me, my mom was the
best mom I could see. I I can't see
another woman doing what my father died
in 1963. My mother never had another man
in our house over the top of us. Uh and
she had to come to San Quinn when she
was going to get married again in 1975
and that you should have been we all in
prison and this and that. But she held a
standard to what she did with her family
in her house. I don't know what she did
outside, you know, but she didn't
include us in any kind of tom foolery.
So when I see a female that will leave
her children with her with they mothers
to date me, if you'll abandon your
child, you'll abandon me. So you got a
different kind of female that's up today
that want to live a life uh that is
unbecoming of what motherhood is and
fatherhood too, you know. So no, it's
it's completely different. Mothers was
mothers. Even with the teachers, our
teachers were teachers. They weren't
trying to be friends. They wasn't trying
to deal with your hip-hop music. If you
had a math teacher, he was about math.
If you had a te a history teacher, he
wasn't about the streets or dressing the
way you were dressing. We had teachers
that either you learned from or got
kicked out of school. So, the world has
changed so much. And you have so uh
young boy, he's like in his 20s.
>> Yeah. Yeah. He's in his late 20s, I
believe.
>> So, mid 20 mid 20s.
>> Yeah. So, his mother may be 35. She had
him at 10. No.
>> So she ain't
>> she ain't even grown up yet. You dig
what I'm saying? So he's speaking from
his heart. He spent a lot of time with
his grandmother when she was out uh you
know doing Felicio or whatever she was
doing.
>> Man, she you know you you say some of
the damnest thing. He's 26 years old and
Yeah. Yeah.
>> So she's 36.
>> Yeah. She she's she's probably almost 50
40ome. But the crazy part is, man,
that's still his mother.
>> Okay. But yeah,
>> wait a minute. Wait a minute. You let me
let me say my part.
>> Say your part.
>> That's still his mother.
>> Okay.
>> And let me tell you something about your
mother.
>> The book that I read said, "A
disobedient child days shall be
shortened." So let me tell you
something. You got to respect your
mother and your father.
>> You got to respect your parents and you
got Yes, you do. Yes, you do. respect.
>> You you you respect your parents. You
learn how to how to watch your mouth
when you're dealing with your parents.
You don't you don't say certain things
to your parents. You don't want nobody
else saying nothing to them. You got to
watch how you deal with your parents,
man. Period. I I wish I had my mama. I I
I lost my mama in the very early 20s. He
he he way further along with his mother
than I would because I didn't have her.
And you know, this is the crazy part. We
we we forget about the fact that that
woman a lot of times if this your
biological mama for show, she her she
her her inside fed you. When you
couldn't chew up meat, she was the first
one put meat to your to your mouth. When
you couldn't when you spit up milk, she
was the first one wiped the milk off of
you. This is the person that taught you
how to walk, pushed you around and moved
you around when you couldn't move. So to
to to to be very frank with you, you got
to be careful how you approach your
mama, man. And I'm going to say that I I
don't care if nobody don't agree with
me. But as a person as a as a person
that that that has made it through and
you know your mama helped you to make it
through and for you to get be so selfish
and to make it about you and not have
and and not be able to hold your tongue.
I think that's the weirdest craziest
thing OG.
>> Well uh all that you said all mothers
didn't help them walk. All mothers
didn't breastfeed. all mothers to some
of them uh put Cisco and some of them
put uh Old English 800 in the bottle
just to put him to sleep. So yeah, you
got them type right there too. So it is
what it is and you're the book you read
say you respect your child too.
>> It definitely say that. It definitely
say that. It goes both ways. And you
know, you can see uh no matter what a
mother do, 90 time 90% of the time a
child would take a mother's side and
will never take the father's side. And
you don't know why your father wasn't
around. But you know what kind of mother
you had and the only reason your father
is not around with you because he can't
stand your mother.
>> Yeah. And and he was talking good about
his father as well. Um, I I I you know,
like I said, NBA Young Boy has been
through a lot of trauma, uh, mental
illness. Um, I think he's had parent
issues. Who's the parent, if they going
to be there for him? He's really trying
to understand things. Even though he is
the age he is, he's still trying to
understand life. Success brought him up
fast. So, he's still trying to figure it
out. And so I mean she knows his
triggers as well. She knows what makes
him trigger.
>> Go ahead.
>> And she don't know nothing. She's about
her own selfish ways. And just like you
said about blueprints, these youngsters
do not have no blueprints for how to be
successful. old old lames and old they
didn't got so you got heroes like uh
Al Sharpton Al Shitty Sharpton and do uh
Trump uh Ben Champ and Tyler Perry. You
have these gay
images, these these images that are not
holy. And these young rappers, they
don't have nothing to grab on to. white
America is spoiling their mind with
success and mourning them and they allow
them to say anything. So, you know, I
just throw it out there and see what
what what cap they don't they don't have
anybody to really hone and bring them
around. I remember when Suge was going
through death row records. white America
had. They wanted his mentor to be Don
Cornelius and Shu didn't look at Don
Cornelius as a strong man and would they
try to here this is how you be
successful in this industry and just by
his rebellion he went the other way and
it wasn't successful for him but one
thing I can say about him he never sold
out
but it wasn't good for him and his
career
>> so who who Who's wrong in this
situation?
>> Ain't nobody wrong. The the wrong in the
situation is podcasters bringing these
kind of things out.
>> I don't see how you could say that
because once it starts, it's not vlogs
is is this this ain't nothing new. This
stuff has always spiraled once somebody
says something. So at at any rate, yes,
it has. You remember the inquirer and
all that stuff? All that stuff was on
the magazine. You either choose to
digest it or you don't.
>> The inquire didn't have no negroes in
it. You show me one [ __ ] who talked
about his mama in the inquire.
>> This is a different time, man. Are you
serious? All you do is you try to flip
something out a different way. This a
different time.
>> You when it's when when we do it, we
sensationalize. When white folks do it,
they did it moderately.
>> A whatever you man. What happened with
David Caress? What happened with these
people? every sex successful story and
that they told in the 60s and the 70s
and the 80s when white folks wanted to
diss their parents. My my mother and
father were killed in an accident when I
at an early age and you're like damn
it's so many white folks had accidents
[laughter] at early and find out
>> this man crazy they their [laughter]
parents did it was dead to them.
>> No man, this is getting that insurance
money way back then. Nobody was up on
game.
>> Hey, hey, hey. Oh, my my parents uh they
died in a tragedy and I was raised in
the orphanage and I just came up and
you're like, "Dang, you was scared to
get in a car because you didn't want
your mother and father to die in the in
the accident cuz all white people died
in in car accidents in the 60s."
>> Listen guys, OG is on one guys. Get in
the comments. Let me know who was at
fault. Was NBA Young Boy wrong or was
his mother wrong? Or or was they both
wrong or should this have ever been
placed on the internet, guys? Had it
became public and it came it became
public fast. Get get in there and let me
know what you think, guys. And if you're
still watching, y'all already know Kefi
Dev all day long getting to it in that
trial. Boss Talk 101
