19-year-old daughter of legendary boxer, Floyd Mayweather, Iyanna “Yaya” Mayweather faces between 5 and 99 years behind bars, according to court documents obtained.
The court charged the 19-year-old with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in the attack on NBA Youngboy’s baby’s mother, Lapattra Jacobs.
According to reports, the incident occurred at around 1:30 a.m. last Saturday, when Mayweather demanded Jacobs leaves the rapper’s Houston home. Jacobs refused and demanded Mayweather to leave, which prompted a physical fight between the women.
Law enforcement told TMZ that the altercation moved into YoungBoy’s kitchen, where Mayweather grabbed two knives and charged at the mother which resulted in Jacob’s hospitalization and Mayweather’s arrest.
According to The Blast, Mayweather was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a felony that can carry a heavy sentence. If convicted on the charge, Mayweather could be slapped with a $10,000 fine or receive up to 99 years in prison. The Blast points out that it’s unlikely she will receive the maximum sentence, as she doesn’t appear to have a criminal history. It’s also worth noting Mayweather is being represented by Kurt Schaffer, a famed attorney who has worked for celebrities like Slim Thug, Pimp C, and Rap-A-Lot Records CEO J Prince.
“Iyanna is doing fine; although she remains shaken by this unfortunate incident,” Schaffer told Bossip.
The attorney confirmed Mayweather will plead not guilty to the charge and he expects her to be “fully vindicated.” Mayweather is reportedly due back in court in August.
