Yaya Mayweather, daughter of boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, has publicly expressed regret about a 2020 stabbing incident involving Lapattra Jacobs, the mother of her ex-boyfriend NBA YoungBoy’s child.
In April 2020, Mayweather stabbed Jacobs, reportedly after discovering her unexpectedly at NBA YoungBoy's Houston home, which led to a confrontation. For this, Yaya Mayweather received a six-year probation sentence in 2022.
On November 4, Mayweather shared a series of posts on her X account, offering an apology to Jacobs and her family, as well as to her own parents, Floyd Mayweather and Melissa Brim.
“I’m a young woman that’s growing. Yes, I’ve made mistakes along [the way], but I’m striving to be better every day. I apologize if, over the years, y’all haven’t perceived me in the best way.”
“I apologize to my family, more specifically my father & mother, if any of my actions over the years have embarrassed you or affected you in any way.”
Mayweather also shares a son, Kentrell DeSean Gaulden Jr., with NBA YoungBoy.
