Yaya Mayweather, Floyd’s daughter could spend the 20 years prison if convicted
Iyanna “Yaya” Mayweather, the undefeated boxing champion Floyd Mayweather’s daughter, faces up to 20 years in prison for allegedly assaulting the mother of rapper NBA Youngboy’s child.
Mayweather, 21, was arrested in April 2020 after reportedly stabbing and injuring the mother of NBA Youngboy’s child, Lapattra Lashai Jacobs, at the rapper’s Houston home. According to media reports, Mayweather has been charged with aggravated assault with a dangerous weapon.
Jacobs needed months to recuperate from her injuries. Worse, the tendons in her right hand may have been permanently damaged, as Jacobs proved when she removed her cast in May 2020.
Meanwhile, Youngboy, 21, was arrested in his hometown of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in connection with a large cocaine operation in September 2020. He was charged with illegal possession of firearms by a felon and possession of an unregistered firearm on one count. He’s been in jail ever since, and a judge recently refused him bond again, agreeing with prosecutors that he’s a danger to the community.
During this time, Mayweather gave birth to Youngboy’s child in January 2021, which she announced on her Instagram page. Kantrell Lauden Jr. is their first kid together, although at the age of 21, he is the rapper’s eighth child. (On October 20, 2021, he will turn 22.)
