Before he landed his big break in 2016 by signing to Yo Gotti’s Collective Music Group (CMG), Moneybagg Yo already had several children with multiple women.

Born Demario DeWayne White Jr., Moneybagg Yo revealed to Shade 45 in 2017 that he had “two or three children” by the time he reached his senior year of high school. By the time he reached his late twenties, he had seven children with four women. As of 2023, the rapper has eight kids: Demya, Demario Jr., O’Marrion, Ta’Riyah, Mariah, Demonel, Ca’Marian, and Spring.

According to The Sun, two of Moneybagg’s baby’s mothers have opted to stay out of the spotlight. However, the outlet confirmed that Whitney White is the mother of at least two of his children. Moneybagg also has two other baby mamas whose identities are unknown.

Although Moneybagg doesn’t discuss his kids or their mothers in the media much, in June 2023, he opened up to Angie Martinez about the death of his fourth baby’s mother, Kennedy Lynette, who also went by Chyna Santana. In April 2022, Chyna was murdered by someone she believed to be a friend.

Since Chyna’s death, Moneybagg gained custody of the three children they shared. The rapper revealed to Angie on the radio host’s IRL podcast that he felt anger toward the way she died and thought it was a preventable tragedy.

“I instantly broke down, I couldn’t believe it,” the “Wokesha” rapper revealed to Angie. “I was more mad at her than anything. I was like, ‘How did you let this happen? How you let your kids — and it was so crazy ’cause when I talked to my daughter, she was just telling me at the airport, ‘I told my mama not to go.'”
