She was also member of her high school’s volleyball team. In 2018, she modelled for “XXL Magazine Freshmen Class”.
Talking about having kids and her past relationships, Jania said: “I don’t want more kids. I wanted kids, but I just don’t want to have many baby daddies. I’m just not gon have no more [kids]. I’m just going to, you know, stick with Kacey and that’s it. He has brothers and sisters from his dad’s side, so he is not going to really need them on my side.”
As Jania Meshell was not satisfied with her breast size and wanted to make them bigger, so she underwent botched plastic surgery in 2019. She said she is much more confident with her body structure but has faced unwanted consequences. She shared that: “They (Doctors) had the whole implant upside down, so I felt it in my armpit and couldn’t really lift this arm, it was just the worst experience. When I went back to get it fixed it was still messed up.”
She said she would never judge anyone else who desires to “fix” their bodies before that she cautioned that young women to be careful based off of her experience. She also had a butt surgery before this.
Living in the spotlight can be both exciting and challenging at the same time. The media places a tremendous amount of scrutiny on everyone on whom they place their attention and focus. Jania has handled it well tactically. She added that men who she never hooked up with or talked to romantically are trying to make her look bad. And among men who approach her, do that because she is baby mama of Youngboy.
A video surfaced from the surveillance system of a hotel in Tallahassee in which the Rapper (Nga Youngboy) actually body-slammed his girlfriend in the hotel hallway. The video went viral in February 2018. The police arrested YoungBoy for his crimes but a year later, the authorities released the artist on 12-month long probation. Despite the violence captured on the camera, Jamia claimed that they were simply having fun and also she didn’t show up in court until the case was closed in December 2019.
Their relationship which many thought to be toxic, ended in a very nasty breakup. They broke up in mid 2018 and she gave birth to a son in 2019.The rapper used the opportunity to craft his song the “Truth About Herpes,” in which he detailed that Jania was the one who gave him the STD. Jania shot back with a couple of tweets stating that she was clean, and any mentioned of herpes was a publicity stunt.
She was in an on-and-off relationship with Devin Haney who is a professional boxer. But she broke up with him on the suspicion of he is still meeting India Love and she was just his side kick all along. Rumours are that she also dated King Von and YBN Almighty Jay.

They split back in May 2020 after Murray tried to leak some of her personal photos. Meshell removed the tattoo of Murray on her chest and replaced it with a new one. Dejounte Murray and Jania Meshell are back together after they called it quits and to spice things up and Jania has gotten another tattoo after she removed a previous one following their split.
