NBA YoungBoy is defending his parenting choices.

NBA YoungBoy has responded to fans on social media labeling him a bad parent after his recent admission that he's not "really big" on fatherhood. Taking to social media after his interview on The Bootleg Kev Podcast was published on Monday, YoungBoy defended himself.

"You want me to show you every time I'm with them?" he asked fans rhetorically. "It don't matter if a house full of h*es in this b*tch, I got children running around." During the aforementioned interview, Kev described YoungBoy as a "great father" as one of his kids climbed on his lap. In response, YoungBoy admitted: "I'm not really big on it to be honest. This is a crazy topic because I'm not the type to sugar coat nothing, but I'm four walls everyday."

Another wrote: "Getting mad because somebody pointed out that you said that you’re not big on fatherhood is crazy." Check out YoungBoy's full remarks below.
