Iyanna Mayweather pleads guilty to aggravated assault with deadly weapon
Floyd Mayweather’s daughter Iyanna Mayweather pleaded guilty Wednesday to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for stabbing Lapattra Lashai Jacobs in April 2020.
Court documents obtained by Page Six reveal Iyanna, 21, agreed to the prosecutor’s recommended punishment, which is six years of probation, 40 hours of community service and “no harassing, threatening or abusive contact” with Jacobs.
Since Iyanna, who is known as Yaya, participated in a “plea bargain case,” she waives her right to appeal a judge’s decision. She has a hearing scheduled for June 16.
“We resolved the case between Iyanna and the state,” Iyanna’s attorney, Kent Schaffer, said in a statement to “Entertainment Tonight” Thursday. “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.”
Iyanna, who was 19 at the time of the incident, was arrested following an altercation over rapper pal NBA YoungBoy. The boxing legend’s daughter allegedly went to YoungBoy’s Houston home at about 1:30 a.m. and confronted Jacobs, who was with him.
Iyanna allegedly claimed she was YoungBoy’s fiancée and told Jacobs to leave the house — then charged at her with two knives, stabbing the woman twice. Jacobs suffered multiple lacerations to her arm and was transported via ambulance to a hospital where she underwent surgery for non-life-threatening injuries.
Iyanna told cops she had never met Jacobs but that the victim had provoked her by yanking her hair before the alleged attack.
Iyanna was arrested and booked in Houston’s Harris County Jail and later released on bond.
