Yaya Mayweather Ordered to Pay a Whopping $50 Million
Yaya Mayweather allegedly stabbed the woman during a confrontation involving her rapper NBA YoungBoy, with whom she shares a son.
Court findings cited in the report also state Mayweather's conduct involved "an extreme degree of risk" and "constituted aggravated assault involving the use of a deadly weapon."
Jacobs initially sued NBA YoungBoy, but her claims against him did not make trial.
During the incident, Mayweather, who was engaged to NBA YoungBoy, discovered Jacobs at the rapper's Houston residence. Mayweather informed Jacobs that she was the rapper's fiancée. She then demanded Jacobs leave the premises.
The two allegedly engaged in a verbal altercation inside the home. Mayweather allegedly used two knives from the kitchen and stabbed Jacobs in the arm.
Jacobs was rushed to the hospital and underwent surgery.
Jacobs alleged that the attack left her with permanent impairment and loss of function in her arm.
Mayweather later pleaded guilty to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. She was sentenced to six years' probation.
Floyd Mayweather Files Massive Lawsuit
Yaya's $50 million judgment comes months after her father Floyd Mayweather filed a $175 million lawsuit against his former business partner.
Mayweather alleges that Jona Rechnitz, with the help of two associates, defrauded him over multiple years. During that time, the proceeds from sales of the prizefighter's real estate, jewelry, and a private jet totaled the $175 million sum Mayweather is seeking.
"As they say, the gloves are off," Mayweather's attorney Leo Jacobs told The Independent. "The complaint speaks for itself."
The undefeated boxing legend is suing for at least $175M. He is also seeking a full accounting of where all the money allegedly disappeared, TMZ reported.
