Yaya Mayweather Pleads Guilty To Stabbing Mother Of NBA YoungBoy’s Child

Mayweather appeared in court in Houston on Wednesday, where she pleaded guilty to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

While Mayweather was originally facing a minimum of two years, with the max being 20 years behind bars, The Shade Room reports that prosecutors recommend six years of probation instead.

Mayweather’s attorney, Kent Schaffer, spoke to XXL about her plea.

“We resolved the case between Iyanna and the State,” Schaffer said. “The agreement calls for Iyanna to be on deferred adjudication for a period of six 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.”

“Although we believe that Iyanna was defending herself after being attacked, we thought this was the safest resolution for her. This is especially true since her boyfriend and his bodyguards refused to testify, probably due to their own legal problems,” he added.

The original matter unfolded in April 2020 after Mayweather, while dating NBA YoungBoy, found him and Jacobs together at the “Slime Belief” rapper’s Houston home.

Once she discovered a pair together, an argument ensued between Mayweather and Jacobs. At one point, Mayweather allegedly retrieved a couple of knives from the kitchen and proceeded to stab Jacobs twice.

The victim was treated for her injuries at a nearby hospital, and Mayweather was ultimately arrested. Later, news broke that Mayweather could face a maximum of 20 years over the matter.

Neither Yaya nor Floyd Mayweather have publicly acknowledged this development on social media.

Additionally, NBA YoungBoy is largely inactive online and preparing to face his own federal legal troubles and has remained silent.

She’s due back in court for a hearing on Jun. 16.
