Yaya Mayweather Faces 99 Years: Here's Everything You Need To Know
By: Omar Cook
Iyanna "Yaya" Mayweather faces a real life nightmare. The 19 year old daughter of Floyd Mayweather was arrested and charged with Aggravated Assault With A Deadly Weapon after allegedly stabbing Lapattra Jacobs, who is a mother to a child with Mayweather's boyfriend, YoungBoy Never Broke Again.
Last Saturday around 1:30 a.m, Mayweather demanded Jacobs to leave the rapper's home in Houston but Jacobs refused and demanded Mayweather to leave, which then exploded into a physical altercation. The fight ensued into the kitchen where Mayweather proceeded to grab a couple knives and charged at Jacobs. The incident led to Mayweather’s arrest and Jacobs being hospitalized in critical condition where she underwent emergency surgery on her arms.
Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon carries a felony charge in Texas with a heavy sentence. If convicted, Mayweather faces up to 99 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Mayweather has had a clean record up until this incident so it is unlikely that she will receive the full 99 year sentence and she is being represented by Kurt Schaffer, a notable attorney who has represented other celebrities such as Slim Thug, Pimp C, and Rap-A-Lot Records CEO J Prince.
Mayweather is expected to plead not guilty and her attorney expects her to be vindicated. She is expected to be back in court in August. Jacobs spoke out on instagram.
This is an unfortunate situation for all parties to say the least and is also a perfect example of how to throw your life away with a decision you can’t take back. This is a learning lesson that will have a lifetime of repercussions. We wish for a full recovery to Jacobs and to all young people out there, do not let a domestic situation cost you your freedom.
