Yaya Mayweather Ordered to Pay $50 Million to Woman She Stabbed in YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s Home
Iyanna "Yaya" Mayweather, daughter of legendary boxer Floyd Mayweather, has been ordered to pay $50 million to the woman she stabbed during a fight at YoungBoy Never Broke Again's home in 2020.
According to documents obtained by XXL on Monday (Sept. 14) from the District Court of Harris County in Houston, Texas, a judge awarded the victim, LaPattra Lashai Jacobs, $40,105,000 in compensatory damages, plus $10 million in exemplary damages.
The payment includes compensatory damages of over $8 million for physical pain and mental anguish, loss of earnings, and disfigurement with an additional $32 million for future damages in physical pain and mental anguish, physical impairment and disfigurement. The judge awarded an extra $10 million because Mayweather knowingly committed an aggravated assault involving the use of a deadly weapon.
Although Jacobs originally named NBA YoungBoy in the lawsuit, those specific claims never went to trial.
Additionally, the judge ordered Mayweather to submit documentation covering all bank accounts, contractual obligations, revenue streams and additional earnings in order to fulfill the financial judgment.
In 2022, Mayweather pleaded guilty to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon following the stabbing incident inside NBA YoungBoy's Louisiana home on April 3, 2020.
At the time of the stabbing, Jacobs and YB were at his home together when Mayweather arrived and reportedly became angered by Jacobs' presence. The two women had a verbal altercation, which turned physical when Mayweather allegedly retrieved two knives from the kitchen and stabbed Jacobs. Jacobs was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries to her arm and bicep and underwent surgery.
In February of 2024, police bodycam footage surfaced online showing a visibly irate NBA YoungBoy trying to explain to cops why Mayweather stabbed a woman at his house.
