HangupsMusic.com – Houston, TX – Iyanna "Yaya" Mayweather, the daughter of boxing icon Floyd Mayweather Jr., has been ordered by a Texas court to pay a substantial sum of $50 million to LaPattra Lashai Jacobs, the victim of a violent altercation that occurred at the home of rapper YoungBoy Never Broke Again in April 2020. The judgment, handed down by the District Court of Harris County, represents a significant financial consequence for Mayweather’s involvement in the incident.
The court’s decision allocates a considerable portion of the award to compensatory damages, totaling $40,105,000. This amount is intended to address the physical and emotional toll the assault took on Jacobs. Specifically, the award includes over $8 million for immediate suffering, encompassing physical pain, mental anguish, lost income, and disfigurement. An additional $32 million has been designated for future damages, recognizing the long-term impact on Jacobs’ physical pain, mental anguish, physical impairment, and potential for ongoing disfigurement.
Beyond compensatory damages, the judge also imposed $10 million in exemplary damages. This punitive measure was levied due to the court’s finding that Mayweather’s actions constituted an aggravated assault involving the use of a deadly weapon, implying a deliberate and reckless disregard for the safety of others.
While Jacobs initially included NBA YoungBoy, whose legal name is Kentrell Gaulden, in her lawsuit, those specific claims did not proceed to trial. The legal focus remained squarely on Mayweather’s role in the stabbing.
To ensure compliance with the financial judgment, the court has mandated that Mayweather provide comprehensive documentation detailing all her financial assets. This includes a full accounting of her bank accounts, any existing contractual obligations, all sources of revenue, and any additional earnings. This measure is designed to facilitate the collection of the awarded sum.
The legal proceedings stem from a highly publicized incident that took place on April 3, 2020. Mayweather pleaded guilty to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in 2022, acknowledging her role in the stabbing. The altercation reportedly began when Mayweather arrived at NBA YoungBoy’s residence and allegedly became agitated by the presence of Jacobs.
According to accounts of the incident, a verbal dispute between Mayweather and Jacobs escalated into a physical confrontation. It is alleged that Mayweather then retrieved two knives from the kitchen and proceeded to stab Jacobs. The victim sustained non-life-threatening injuries to her arm and bicep and required surgical intervention to address her wounds.
The legal ramifications of the incident have continued to unfold over time. In February of 2024, police bodycam footage from the night of the stabbing surfaced online. The footage depicted a visibly distressed NBA YoungBoy attempting to explain the circumstances of the assault to law enforcement officers present at the scene.
This significant financial judgment underscores the serious legal and personal consequences associated with violent altercations. As the situation develops, further details regarding Mayweather’s compliance with the court’s order are anticipated. The case highlights the far-reaching implications of assault charges, extending beyond criminal penalties to substantial civil liabilities. The events of that night in 2020 have undeniably left a lasting impact on all parties involved, and the $50 million judgment represents a pivotal moment in the legal aftermath.
