The parents of a young Louisiana child have been slammed for hosting a gangster-themed party where they were filmed playing with realistic looking guns and dancing to explicit rap music.
The infamous birthday party
The ‘NBA YoungBoy themed’ children‘s birthday party in Louisiana went viral online after video was released of five young boys dancing while also flashing fake cash.
After fierce backlash, the birthday boy’s mother, Devine Brooks, defended it as being innocent fun and said the boys thought they were filming a music video.

‘He wanted a NBA party and that’s what he got,’ she said.
‘My boys are well educated and even going to nationals on his football team! It was all fun and they enjoyed themselves they thought they was shooting a video.’
In the video, a group of men can be seen dancing with the children to the song, Never Broke Again, by the 24-year-old Louisiana rapper – who has 11 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 on Instagram saying: ‘This why the youth and younger generation messed up now because of people and parents like this.’
Another Instagram user said: ‘Wow this is epitome of ignorance! This is ridiculously sad and a disgrace. What type of mother allowed this?! It’s a loss cause to even mention the father.’
