In the interview, NBA YoungBoy and Funny Marco discussed fatherhood, family, and their relationships with their parents. While discussing their mothers, YoungBoy opened up about how his relationship with his mom contributed to the anger he carried. He accepted they may never have the bond he wanted and said he plans to love his mom from a distance.
YoungBoy also made it clear that he does not plan to speak to his mother again.
He stated, “I think my relationship with my mama used to be a big part of my anger. And so I told myself, like it’s just certain s**t you can’t fix. Like certain people you’re not going to just bond with in the way that you expect or the way that you desire, basically just long for and just hope for. So I just started loving my mom from a distance. Like today I never like speak to her again. Like we’ll never talk again. I know this for a fact. But I love her, like I care.”
YoungBoy continued, explaining that his decision is no longer about money, past trauma, or anger. “I hope she know that too. I want her to know that. 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 ’em, ’cause that’s my grandmother’s daughter and I love my grandma deeply.”

Following his mother’s response, NBA YoungBoy took to his Instagram Story to deny that Sherhonda was present during the interview.
“Sherhonda never been to Korea a day in her life. Y’all just believe anything dumb f**ks,” he said.
Funny Marco also stepped into The Shade Room Teens’ comments to back up YoungBoy and clarify what happened during their conversation. He wrote, “He never said anything bad about his mama & nobody was there when we did the interview.”
Sherhonda later admitted she had mixed up the interviews and thought YoungBoy’s conversation with Funny Marco had been filmed in Utah earlier. Despite the mix-up, she stood by her message and again told her son to keep her name out of his mouth.
YoungBoy later joined Funny Marco on live and maintained that he never said anything disrespectful about his mother during the interview. He also questioned why Sherhonda mentioned his children before opening up further about their strained relationship over the years.
YoungBoy explained that one part of her response especially hurt because he felt his mother could not recognize how he looked today. The rapper ended by sharing a message for women as he reflected on the situation and his relationship with his mother.
