Another said something like, “Man, okay, this is amusing AF on the surface! I may be more clingy with age, but my goodness, I feel horrible for that poor girl! He is being made fun of by everyone, but mostly at her cost! If my sister or daughter were being forced to trust him through the muck, I would be furious.
Amidst these remarks, a few people spoke up to support the girls and denounce those who were making fun of people’s appearances. Adebayo choose to say nothing about the matter in spite of the extensive online conversations regarding his sightings with girls.
Inside Bam Adebayo’s family background
Adebayo was born in Newark, New Jersey, to Marilyn Blout, an African American mother, and John Adebayo, a Nigerian Yoruba father.
His mother gave him the moniker Bam Bam when he was a little child due to an incident that stuck in his memory from when he was one year old and he fell over a coffee table while watching The Flintstones, looking much like Bamm-Bamm Rubble from the program.
His mother reared him in Newark following the divorce of his parents. The NBA player later moved to North Carolina with his mother when he was seven, which was a big turning point in his life. Regretfully, he didn’t spend as much time with his father after moving.
Due to the physical separation and lack of communication with his father in his early years, Adebayo harbored anger toward his Nigerian background and last name.
Afterwards, Adebayo actively set out on a quest to discover more about his Nigerian heritage when he was sixteen years old. He has consciously chosen to embrace and assimilate his background into his identity, in addition to finding peace with it over time.
Sadly, though, the basketball player’s father died in 2020 while living contentedly in Nigeria. All that’s left for him is his mother’s love and support.
Adebayo has publicly shared many memorable times with his mother on Instagram, demonstrating their strong relationship and love for one another. In a touching photo he published on February 20, 2020, he was standing next to his mother, who was carrying his award with pride.

He wrote, “The bond between mother and son is a special one,” as the caption for the photo. Regardless of distance or time, it stays the same. It is the purest form of love—true, unconditional love. It’s being understanding of all circumstances and tolerant of errors.
In a similar vein, the NBA player posted a cute photo of himself and his mother lounging on a yacht on December 7, 2021. The heartwarming caption, “Sons may grow into men and outgrow their toys, but in their mothers’ hearts, they are still little boys,” went with the photo.
“Happy Birthday to the woman who made me… me,” he went on. I’ve watched the best people do this shit called life, and you’re still the best.
Following the post, a plethora of admirers showered the comments section with words of praise for the touching relationship between the NBA player and his mother.
Someone said, “Very adorable!!!!” Observing how you pamper her makes me melt as a mother. I miss my lovely mother more than anything as a daughter when we spend these moments together!
