Jai Malik Wiggins Jr. Is Jai Wiggins' Son

Jai is Yung Miami's oldest child, born into her long-term relationship with Jai Wiggins Sr when she was just 19. The relationship was turbulent and ended in 2015 amid accusations of domestic violence.

Jai Sr. and Yung Miami overcame their issues to become loving and amicable co-parents to Jai. Father and son had a loving bond, and Yung Miami described Jai Jr. and Jai Sr. as "best friends."

Yung Miami acknowledged Jai Sr.'s place in her son's life and spoke warmly of his devotion to their son and Jai Jr.'s affection for his father. She said:

"Babies' 1st words are DADA & that’s what you are a FATHER to Jai. You & Jai is peanut butter & jelly always together one thing about you, you don't play about your son! So humble, quiet & uplifting (sic)."

Yung Miami's First Child's Father Was Killed

Jai Wiggins Sr was wounded in June 2020 in a shooting, and very little is known about who shot him or why. While Jai Sr. was lying in intensive care, Yung Miami had to continue with her work.

She revealed that she was making a video for a City Girls song with Doja Cat. The devastated rapper performed flawlessly in front of the cameras and dissolved in storms of tears between takes.

JT would later describe Yung Miami's courage and resilience, calling her the strongest person she knew as she dealt with her grief and gave her love and support to little Jai, then seven.

In a Twitter post, Yung Miami confessed that it saddened her to see how much her son missed Jai Sr. and that she couldn't fill that absence. She posted a photo of Jai Sr. on her son's Instagram page and captioned it:

“Happy birthday daddy! I miss you so much 💔"
