Floyd Mayweather's Daughter Sentenced To 6 Years Probation For Stabbing Attack at NBA YoungBoy’s Home

Iyanna Mayweather pleaded guilty to the 2020 attack which required surgery for the female victim.

The 22-year-old daughter of world champion boxer Floyd Mayweather has been sentenced to six years probation for stabbing a woman at the home of her child's father, rapper NBA YoungBoy.

The attack happened in April of 2020, when Iyanna Mayweather, then 19, attacked a 35-year-old woman with a knife. The victim was identified as Lapattra Lashai Jacobs, the mother of one of rapper NBA YoungBoy's seven children. Jacobs suffered multiple lacerations to her arm and was transported via ambulance to a hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. She underwent surgery and ultimately recovered from her injuries.

Click2Houston.com is reporting that Iyanna, who is also known as YaYa, pled guilty to an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charge. On Thursday, she received Deferred Adjudication of Guilt and was sentenced to six years of probation as well as 40 hours of community service and “no harassing, threatening or abusive contact” with Jacobs.

Entertainment Tonight reported that Iyanna pleaded guilty back in April 2022. "We resolved the case between Iyanna and the State," Iyanna's attorney, Kent Schaffer, told ET earlier this year. "The agreement calls for Iyanna to be on deferred adjudication for a period of 6 years after which she will have no felony conviction and the case will be dismissed. She is eligible to have the deferred adjudication end after two years pending her good behavior."
