== Relationships==
===Cop Killa Records===
Alabaster Slim
Alabaster "Pimp" Slim was Yung Dab's best friend, and one of the "homies" in Yung Dab's "Inner Circle". When they first met, Slim insisted on getting Yung Dab on to the corner, and "putting his face tattoo to work". In an attempt to show that he had talent beyond prostitution, Yung Dab freestyled a less-than-mediocre rap verse. The freestyle did not impress Slim, and he responded with his infamous baby powder slap down. Yung Dab called Slim a "bitch" and ran away, before jumping in a vehicle with Eugene Zuckerberg. Yung Dab and Eugene returned to the area, and drove by while calling out that Slim was a bitch multiple times. Yung Dab was an insecure and timid newcomer at this point in time, and immediately wanted to leave the area, screaming in fear of being met with violence by Slim. This initial meeting began a short period where Yung Dab feared " Pimp ", and would cower at the sight of him."Well, I gotta good idea for ya, muh'fuckah. How 'bout you come get that ass on the corner, we put that face tattoo of you's to work?" - Slim, attempting to make Yung Dab his "he-bitch"Yung Dab's life sentence caused Slim to become rather emotional; openly crying at the mere mention of Yung Dab's name.* Slim took most of his grief out on Outto-Tune Tyrone, in the form of physical and verbal abuse (cursing, degrading, yelling, and slapping)."Yung Dab... a legend. Everybody gonna remember Yung Dab... for the fuckin'... cold-blooded murderer he was." - Alabaster Slim, to Evita "Mother" Nimm
*Kyle has often expressed his frustration, and regret, regarding his absence during "The Last Dab". He was unable to make it through the server's queue, due to being a volunteer helper for Sun Moon's Million Dollar Race on a dedicated server earlier in the day. It can be assumed that Alabaster Slim holds the same level of regret about not being there for Yung Dab "when it mattered". Kyle has indicated that Slim's ultimate goal is to one day reunite with his best friend. Slim will occasionally repeat the phrase "when we break Yung Dab out..." during relevant conversations.
Outto-Tune Tyrone ("OTT")
While Yung Dab is rather petty in regards to other singers/rappers, he showed a fair amount of kindness to OTT. Unlike Alabaster Slim, Yung Dab never put OTT down, or humiliated him. Yung Dab treated OTT with greater respect, and was the one who promoted OTT to the official title of Senior Artist of Cop Killa Records. OTT aspired to be like Yung Dab, believing he would never live up to the legacy that Yung Dab left behind. OTT vowed to keep Cop Killa Records going, even after Yung Dab's incarceration.
Yung Dab's impact on OTT aided in his development as a criminal and gangster. OTT did his first successful bank robbery with Yung Dab, at the Paleto Bank. He served as the lookout for the crew, and called out when the police were approaching. In Yung Dab's remembrance, OTT released a song titled "It’s Been A Long Dab", as well as a music video.
===Prune Gang===
Eugene Zuckerberg
Eugene Zuckerberg is one of Yung Dab's "grandfather" figures, a fellow member of Prune Gang, and one of the "homies" in Yung Dab's Inner Circle. Eugene is also the co-founder and member of The Gnomes, being one of Yung Dab's main enablers for illegal activities. Yung Dab referred to Eugene as his crime mentor, and thanked him several times for showing him the ropes of the city. When contemplating who to bring alongside him on a job, Yung Dab brought Eugene along for a majority of the time.
Melbert Rickenbacker
Mel has been classified as "fucking insane" by Yung Dab. He was one of the "go-to" criminals when Yung Dab needed someone who was willing to do literally anything. In their official first introduction, Mel and Yung Dab shared a moment of acknowledging each other’s clout. Mel's criminal record gained Yung Dab’s respect, as both a Prune Gang superior, and fellow gangster. Mel's contact information in Yung Dab's phone was listed as "Melina", as this is what Yung Dab called him when he first arrived in Los Santos.
Gladys Berry
Just like with Eugene, Yung Dab found Gladys as a wise elder, and superior Prune Gang member. Gladys was insistent upon not being referred to as "Grandma", as she still had a sex life similar to a youthful woman. However, she eventually accepted the title, as their relationship grew. Before they were close, Gladys and Yung Dab went through a period of hostility and petty violence towards one another. Gladys' anger towards Yung Dab was provoked by him rigging a rap battle in his favor, and essentially robbing her of the $500 prize winnings. Yung Dab avoided paying Gladys the prize money when she confronted him about it the next day, and was beaten down with a bat when he tried to run. This attack caused Yung Dab to fear Gladys for a period of time, and flee at the very sight of her.
===The Colton Brothers===
Gomer Colton
Gomer Colton is one of Yung Dab's best friends, his go-to mechanic, and one of the "homies" in Yung Dab's Inner Circle.
Buck Colton
===Los Santos Police Department===
Jackie Snow
Jenny Hall
Jenny Hall was both an enemy, and object of desire for Yung Dab. Jenny saw Yung Dab as a friend whom she wanted to help reform and heal, often referring to him as "Max", instead of Yung Dab. However, she was also scared of Yung Dab, and was determined to eventually unmask and expose him as The Gnome. Yung Dab claimed to love Jenny ("because she got a phat ass"), even sending her a text saying "LOVE YOU TOO ;)" after Jenny texted him a request to "please stay safe, Max." Yung Dab also claimed to only like Jenny "a little bit", and also declared her as his enemy, as she was a part of the police force. While Yung Dab's true feelings towards Jenny were unclear most of the time, he made it very clear that he wanted to sleep with her. Ultimately, Yung Dab was using Jenny as his own personal entertainment, and as a key piece in the puzzle to further his terrorist plans. In a case of cruel irony, Jenny Hall was the first officer that Yung Dab ever shot. 
Although Yung Dab found joy in tormenting and manipulating Jenny, he also showed her mercy, and flirted with her during every interaction they had. The affection towards Jenny was a mixed bag of genuine feelings for her, and Yung Dab's long term plan of getting close to her, in order to take advantage of Jenny's bias towards him in regards to legal matters. After the Chang Gang kidnapped Jenny, and The Gnome threatened her, Jenny texted Yung Dab to make it clear that she wanted some space, shaken by the event. Though never verbally confirmed, Yung Dab took actions to make it obvious to Jenny that he was The Gnome. 
Despite Yung Dab's plans for its release, his song I'm in Love With a Cop (She Got a Phat Ass Tho) was never created, nor performed.
"I think I'm insane. Yeah. I can't - but, I think - I think I'm a psychopath. [...] I mean, it's not like a love thing, really. I mean, a little bit. [...] But also, she might know that I'm a terrorist, and that I saved her life as the terrorist. [...] Look man, I'm a bad person. I deserve whatever happens to me." - Yung Dab, to Sun Moon, in reference to Jenny Hall
===Lawyer===
Kevin Shaw
Kevin was Yung Dab's first lawyer, one of his best friends, and part of the "homies" in Yung Dab's "Inner Circle". Yung Dab was the catalyst to Kevin's gambling addiction, and a big factor in Kevin's popularity as a lawyer. Although Yung Dab constantly teased and poked fun at Kevin (calling him a "pussa bitch" or hijacking his car); Yung Dab was a loud and proud advocate of Kevin's work. He declared that Kevin Shaw was "the most handsome lawyer in all of Los Santos". Yung Dab also argued against anyone who tried to claim that Murphy Braun as a better attorney. In addition to this, Yung Dab also convinced Chang Gang to keep Kevin off of their hit-list; vouching that Kevin was not a snitch, and that he trusted him completely.
Yung Dab's long-term personal goal was to convert Kevin to the side of crime. He wanted to recruit Kevin as his getaway driver; something he mentioned to Kevin and others a handful of times. Yung Dab/The Gnome is also responsible for desensitizing, and aligning Kevin with his owns ideals that he created as The Gnome, over the span of roughly three months.
"I'm slowly corrupting him (Kevin Shaw) by outright telling him all the illegal shit that I do, so that I, like, normalize him, right? Then I don't have to worry about him snitching, ever. It's a long con." - Yung Dab, to Happy D'Klown and Alabaster Slim
Kevin was one of the very first people to learn of The Gnome's true identity, and was in immediate support. He never actively assisted in any of Yung Dab's crimes or terrorist plans, he is a self proclaimed Gnome. Kevin often gave Yung Dab advice for criminal jobs, often under the guise of what he would do in a hypothetical scenario. Kevin could not often help Yung Dab when he was behind bars, as Yung Dab was a notorious self-snitch, and often left incriminating evidence behind as leads for the police. Regardless, Yung Dab still always called Kevin when he was in need of legal representation.
"He (Kevin Shaw) gets angry when I don't call him, okay?!" - Yung Dab, to Jenny Hall
Because of Yung Dab's charismatic nature, he was easily able to convert the lawful Kevin Shaw to the side of a terrorist organization. Near Yung Dab's final days, Kevin was fully aware of The Gnome's plan to perform a massacre, and take several innocent lives. However, Kevin did nothing to stop him; he only sighed in disapproval, and offered to help in the event that Yung Dab was caught.
Following Yung Dab's imprisonment, Kevin fell into a deep depression for days. He felt pushed aside by Yung Dab, and is still visibly saddened at the mention of him. For the first few weeks after Yung Dab's sentencing, Kevin brought him some water, a meal containing his favorite burgers, and a personal note, every day. Following government funding being put into place in order to serve Yung Dab quality food in prison, Kevin halted his daily deliveries.
===Korean Mafia===
Tim Lee
Tim Lee is one of Yung Dab’s earliest crime enablers, introducing Yung Dab to the Korean Mafia, and his underground connections. Shortly after first meeting, Tim Lee drove Yung Dab out to the Vinewood sign and forced him to smoke crack at gun point, to prove that Yung Dab wasn’t a cop (or a bitch). Yung Dab happily complied with Tim’s demands, having been searching for drugs to take since he arrived in Los Santos. Tim Lee and Yung Dab got along easily from this point forward, working together often during Yung Dab’s first month in Los Santos.
Sun Moon
=== Marlowe Vineyard===
Otto Delmar
Joe Caine
===Leanbois===
Al Saab
Al Saab is one of Yung Dab's closest "homies", and go-to criminal partners. They befriended one another on Yung Dab's second night in the city.
Tony Corleone
Tony Corleone and Yung Dab often worked together on crimes, especially bank robberies that required a skilled getaway driver. They were fairly acquainted, but tension often sparked between them, due to Tony’s quickness in jumping to hostility. In these cases, Yung Dab would pay Tony to get him off his back; less concerned about mending their relationship, and more so to stop Tony’s nagging, as Yung Dab found it annoying.
Tony's first major interaction with Yung Dab, following their initial meeting, was destroying Yung Dab in the rap battle at the Vanilla Unicorn. They had a rocky start, as Tony threatened Yung Dab over not being immediately paid for purposely losing. Once the money was given to Tony, his hostility was satiated, and he accepted his staged defeat.
When Tony got married, Yung Dab performed a song for him with Outto-Tune Tyrone.
Lang Buddha
Yung Dab's first interaction with Lang Buddha was under "scuffed" circumstances on Buddha's part, perfectly summing up the majority of their interactions from that point onward.
In 2021, Lang led the Guild in their effort to extract Yung Dab from prison, and enlisted him in the writing of Talon’s manifesto. Seven years later, he and Yung Dab were on icy terms.
===The Watchers===
Jacob Harth
Yung Dab is very good friends with Jacob. Jacob had often giving him aide in his terrorist actions.
Evita "Mother" Nimm
Of all the women Yung Dab flirted with in Los Santos, Mother was the one he pursued to the greatest degree, and seemingly held the most care for. His feelings towards her were mostly sexual, but he also sought to inspire her, and provide her security in her times of paranoia and weakness. Because of her tight-lipped nature, Yung Dab was inclined to nag her for any bit of information; insistent that he couldn't help her unless she trusted him with her secrets. Despite her refusal to reveal information to him, Yung Dab told her many of his plans and secrets anyways.
Mother and Yung Dab went on a number of dates, and Yung Dab even bought a limousine just to impress her (and in the hopes of having sex in the back of said limousine). To outsiders, their chemistry was convincing enough to have Mother's "children" believe that they were an official item for quite some time. Mother and Yung Dab often sent one another flirty texts, as well.
Rumors of their sexual relationship began floating around the city, as pointed out by Mother's adopted son, Siz Fulker. Such as the rumor of Mother "pegging" Yung Dab, or that they have indeed had sex. Mother, for Yung Dab's sake, confirmed the rumor of them sleeping together (despite this being a lie). In regards to the pegging rumor, Yung Dab confirmed it to be false, but wishes it were true.
Ironically, as it was Mother who connected them, Yung Dab once threatened Mother over Siz's safety. This occurred when Yung Dab misunderstood Mother's intentions, and believed her to have murderous intent towards their son. Protective of his new protege, Yung Dab threatened to harm, or potentially even kill, Mother. This was quickly cleared up when Mother hastily explained she had no ill intent towards Siz, but was just a bit fed up with him at the time.
After the events of the bus tour, communication fell off between the two, as Yung Dab was too entangled in his terrorist agenda. Although their relationship was cut short due to their criminal lives being so contrasting in style, they never ended up on bad terms, and remained flirtatious friends until the end. Following Yung Dab's sentencing, Mother was saddened by the news, and regretted not spending more time with him. She confided in Alabaster Slim that she had sent Yung Dab photos of her titties, and mournfully confessed that she hoped he'd received them, and been pleased by them.
"It's, uh, funny, um- one of the last things that Yung Dab said to me was that I was capable of doing something. That I need to stop being so scared." - Mother, to Alabaster Slim
Siz Fulker
Siz Fulker is Yung Dab's adopted step-son and official apprentice, intended to be the next on the throne as "The Gnome". When they first met, Yung Dab laughed at Siz's injured face; giving him five dollars as charity, and setting their relationship off on the wrong foot. Later that day, before Yung Dab's date with Mother, he took Siz on a car ride and explained to him in great detail how he planned to have sex with her. Yung Dab needed Siz's full compliance in order to do so, even going so far as to threaten to kill Siz if he refused to help Yung Dab "get it in". Despite calling Siz a number of insults and roasting him to his core, he took on the role of "Step Dab", and gave Siz advice on being more confident and hitting on women. At the end of the date, Yung Dab gave Siz a SNS pistol, and declared him an honorary Gnome. Yung Dab assigned Siz with the task of taking down the Chief of Police, Jackie Snow, for a $50,000 reward.
From this point on, Siz looked to Yung Dab as a source of guidance and role model for his own behavior, even adopting one of Yung Dab's catchphrases: "Boom, bitch." After the events of The Gnome's Bus Tour, Siz was invited to Yung Dab's Inner Circle. Because of this, Siz was introduced to a world of criminal connections, such as Eugene Zuckerberg, Alabaster Slim, Gomer Colton, and Al Saab.
After Yung Dab's imprisonment, Siz grew notably hostile towards the police. His desire to be a high-tier criminal strengthened. Siz stepped up as a guns dealer, and actively sought out crime in order to both gain clout on the Dark Web's bounty board, and to have fun at the expense of the police. Furthermore, a month or so later when Siz had gotten to the point of financial and social stability he also began to emulate Yung Dab's treatment towards him (when was still new to crime). Siz would often make an effort to get new criminals he encountered into their first high stakes job. (At the time, robbing Fleeca Banks was relatively easy to prepare for and potentially quite profitable.)
Griselda "Zelda" Harth
Siz asked Yung Dab if he could ask Zelda out on a date for him, and Yung Dab obliged. Siz and Zelda are still together. Yung Dab said that Zelda was kind of like Jacob (her brother).
Uchiha Jones
Yung Dab hated Uchiha, simply because he believed Uchiha to be a "freak", and found his chicken anatomy to be repulsive. Yung Dab's dislike of Uchiha turned into tolerance when Uchiha accompanied him on some of his heists. If anything, Yung Dab saw Uchiha as a joke of a being, and was humored by his pathetic existence.
Uchiha was one of the hostages used in The Gnome's scavenger hunt, and was the only casualty. Yung Dab felt no remorse for shooting Uchiha, as he was a robot, and his parts were replaceable.
"Some people just deserve to die." - Yung Dab, to Mother about Uchiha
While visiting Mr. Chang in prison, Uchiha gave Yung Dab his first two rounds of AK gun ammo, for a price of $8k. Yung Dab often teased Mr. Chang and Uchiha for the amount of sexual tension between them.
===Chang Gang===
Mr. Wang Chang
Mr. Chang is one of the "homies" in Yung Dab's Inner Circle. They often committed high-stakes crimes together, such as taking down cops at the Power Plant, or robbing the City Bank's Vault, with a high success rate. They had a flirty, playful relationship, that did not often breach serious or dramatic territory.
"You are one handsome man." - Yung Dab's first words to Mr. Chang
A major factor of why Mr. Chang and Yung Dab connected so well was due to Mr. Chang sharing a similar affinity to committing extremely high risk crime, for little to no reward. In their eyes, the reward was committing the crime itself. This mindset was why Mr. Chang was present for many of Yung Dab's attempts at taking down the Power Plant, and during all of The Gnome related terrorist operations.
===Other===
Cheryl Smith
Cheryl was Yung Dab's first consistent love interest, as he spent many of his "clout chasing" days by her side. She was very discouraging of his rap career, often trashing his poor rap skills and appearance. He rarely ever called Cheryl by her actual name, instead calling her "Sheila" and "Shirley".
Cheryl, along with Yung Dab, regularly rolled with Jaclyn "Jackie" Hyde and Otto Delmar. On March 23rd, 2019, the Leanbois murdered Jackie, and shot Cheryl, putting her in the ICU. After this incident, Yung Dab lost most contact with Cheryl, and they only greeted one another in passing.
