Life hasn’t always been easy for Yung Joc. He may have found success as a rapper, but his career took a nosedive in late 2007. But thanks to his parents and those close to him, the rapper returned to the spotlight seven years later as a cast member of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta and has been a fixture ever since.
So, who are Yung Joc’s parents? Let’s find out about his father and mother as this article continues.
Who are Yung Joc’s parents?
Yung Joc is everything he is thanks to his parents. Growing up, his parents were very supportive of him as an aspiring artist. They never said no to him. In fact, they were the ones who encouraged him to be on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta.
According to the star, when he was invited to join the cast of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, he was initially unsure of what to do. Then, Yung consulted with his parents and they encouraged him to take the leap of faith.
“My dad said look at it this way: they can only edit what you give them… He said this might open your eyes to what you want to do in the future,” Yung recalled before adding, “so I talked to my parents, my siblings about it and prayed about it.”
He then changed his life when he became the main cast member of the show. He was often the comic actor — providing humorous commentary on various situations on the show.
The comedian/rapper has been on the show since season three, when he was introduced as Karlie Redd’s new man. Surprisingly, they split that same season when Yung cheated on Karlie with her assistant Khadiyah Lewis.
But all that is in the past, now (2022), Yung is happily married to his girlfriend Kendra Robinson. The two got engaged on February 27, 2019 and married on November 7, 2021, after a series of postponed wedding dates due to the pandemic.
Before Kendra, Yung was married to a woman named Alexandria Robinson. The couple filed for divorce in July 2014 after 13 years of marriage and two years of separation. They have three children together—a daughter named Ja’Kori, and two sons, Amir and Chase.
Meet Yung Joc’s father, Stan Tucker
Yung Jocs’ father, Stan Tucker, was the person he turned to for advice. He was also the one who helped Yung get his start in music. Stan reportedly helped Joc get his first gig writing a commercial for Revlon, thanks to his connections in the industry.
On the business front, Stan owns a hair care products manufacturing company called Claudio St. James Hair Care Products, Inc. His company was registered on February 22, 2018 as a domestic for profit company in GA, USA.
Back in 2015, Stan also appeared on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, where he revealed that he had more children than Yung. And it was true. It seems Stan has had a rocky love life as well.
Stan gave his son some love advice, “You know what they always tell me? You’ll be a great man when you settle down. I thought I was a great man anyway, but I’m not. I have to slow down, slow down, and start understanding what’s most important to me.”
As of 2022, Stanley is 72 years old.
Did you know: Yun lost his beloved aunt to breast cancer a few years ago. Since then, he has held a special place in his heart for any cause related to breast cancer.
Who is Yung Joc’s mother?
Although Yung Joc has been vocal about his love for his mother, he has never revealed her name. However, the star has occasionally mentioned her on social media.
In early 2022, rapper Yung went live on Instagram to share a sweet moment between them. In the clip, Yung and his mother reminisced about old times while shopping at the mall. “Hey man, I’m gonna buy my mom some stuff for her birthday,” the rapper said before logging off.
Here’s a video of them (aired on 9MagTV) — shopping for Yung’s mom’s birthday.
It seems like the two have been together ever since he was a child.
Back in 2015, Yung also spoke briefly about their relationship. “Sometimes I start to think that my mom and [Samuel L.] Jackson is a sibling because her favorite swear word is motherfucker. My mom’s like, ‘Joc! Get your motherfucker ass in here,'” Yung joked.
Based on the conversation between Yung and his father, Yung’s mother was just one of many women in his father’s life.
It is speculated that Yung’s mother could be named Deborah R Robinson, who would be 64 years old in 2022.
Interesting Facts: Yung was so successful in 2006 that he was ranked by Forbes as one of the richest rappers of that year.
