Who is Yung Joc's mother?

Yung Joc has never revealed his mother's identity to the world, although he has been open about his sentiments for her. Mama Joc appears to like to stay out of the spotlight, but she has made a few appearances on the rappers' social media.

The rapper went live on Instagram in early 2022 to share a sweet moment between the two. Joc and his mother talked about previous times while in the mall in the video. "Aye man," he replied before signing off, "I'm finna get my mama some stuff for her birthday."

Since his childhood, the two appear to have been close. In a 2015 ad for VH1's 'Dear Mama' special, Yung Joc mentioned their relationship briefly. "Sometimes I'd start thinking that my mom and [Samuel L.] Jackson was brothers and sisters ‘cause her favorite cuss word was motherf****r," he remembered affectionately. "My mother be like, 'Joc! Get your motherf*****g’ a** in here.'"

According to a chat Yung Joc had with his father, Stan Tucker, during a 2015 episode of 'LHHATL,' the Atlanta native's mother was one of many women in his father's life. We don't know much about Joc's father, either, but he did acknowledge being a rolling stone. "I got more kids than you got," Stan said to his son. Joc is said to have nine children from five different mothers.
