The parents of a young Louisiana child have been criticized for hosting a gangster-themed party where they were filmed playing with realistic-looking weapons and dancing to explicit rap music.
The ‘NBA YoungBoy themed’ children’s birthday party in Louisiana went viral online after a video was released showing five young boys dancing while also flashing fake money.
Following strong backlash, the birthday boy’s mother, Devine Brooks, defended it as harmless fun and said the boys thought they were filming a music video.
“He wanted an NBA party and that’s what he got,” she said. ‘My boys are well trained and are even going to the national championship with his football team! It was all fun and they were enjoying themselves, they thought they were shooting a video.”
The video shows a group of men dancing with the children to the song Never Broke Again by the 24-year-old rapper from Louisiana, who has eleven children.
The party decor included champagne bottle balloons, diamonds, wads of cash and very realistic looking Glocks.
But the video has sparked outrage online, with one person saying on Instagram: ‘This is why the youth and younger generation are messing up now because of people and parents like this.’

NBA YoungBoy may be a questionable theme for a little boy’s birthday party, but the rapper recently stated that he plans to be baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — once his ankle monitor is removed.
The American rapper – whose real name is Kentrell DeSean Gaulden – has 11 children with nine different women – but he married his long-time girlfriend, who is mother to two of the children, in January 2023.
Gaulden often raps about guns and money, which likely inspired the finishing touches to the birthday party.
‘I made more money, I had to buy more guns to get through the day’ and ‘I just walked out of my show with a dirty gun’ are some of the lyrics from his songs.
The rapper was charged with possession of a firearm and was arrested in March 2021, after which he spent time in jail before posting a $500,000 cash bail. His release was conditional on being monitored and under house arrest at his home in Utah.
