Yaya Mayweather Ordered To Pay $50M For NBA YoungBoy Stabbing Incident

Yaya Mayweather just got hit with a massive financial reality check over a 2020 stabbing incident that’s been haunting her for years.

A Texas judge ordered Floyd Mayweather’s daughter to pay more than $50 million to the woman she stabbed during a fight involving NBA YoungBoy, and the breakdown of that judgment is absolutely brutal.

The court awarded Lapattra Jacobs $40.1 million in compensatory damages and added another $10 million in exemplary damages, which means the judge found Yaya’s conduct so egregious that she deserved extra punishment on top of the base award.

The compensatory damages got split into two chunks.

Past damages came to $8 million for medical expenses, pain and suffering, physical impairment, lost earning capacity, and disfigurement.

The court then added $32 million for future damages in those same categories, recognizing that Jacobs faces permanent consequences from the attack.

The judge specifically found that Yaya’s conduct involved an extreme degree of risk and constituted aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, which is why the exemplary damages were approved without hitting the statutory cap that usually applies in Texas.

According to TMZ, the incident went down on April 3, 2020, at NBA YoungBoy’s home in Louisiana. Yaya showed up, found Lapattra there, and things escalated quickly.

She grabbed two knives from the kitchen and stabbed Jacobs, who ended up hospitalized with injuries to her arm and bicep that required surgery. NBA YoungBoy was home at the time but wasn’t involved in the physical altercation.

Yaya eventually pleaded guilty in 2022 to felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and was sentenced to six years of probation under deferred adjudication.

The civil judgment now sits on top of that probation term, and collection efforts are next.

Jacobs initially named NBA YoungBoy as a defendant in the lawsuit, but those claims never reached trial.

The judge found Yaya 100 percent responsible, and Jacobs acted in self-defense, which protected her recovery. Yaya and NBA YoungBoy share a child, and the rapper also has a child with Jacobs, which makes the situation even messier.

The court ordered Yaya to submit documentation covering all her bank accounts, contractual obligations, revenue streams, and additional earnings to help satisfy the judgment.

That’s a lot of financial exposure for someone who’s already dealing with probation requirements.

This case shows how a moment of rage can turn into a lifetime of consequences, especially when weapons get involved and permanent injuries result.
