Floyd Mayweather\u2019s daughter, Iyanna \u201cYaya\u201d Mayweather<\/strong>, has been ordered to pay more than $50 million<\/strong> to Lapattra Jacobs over a 2020 stabbing that happened during a dispute connected to rapper NBA YoungBoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Harris County, Texas, judge signed the final judgment in May 2026, awarding Jacobs $50.105 million<\/strong> in total damages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Case That Began in 2020<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The incident happened at NBA YoungBoy\u2019s home in Houston in December 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mayweather was later charged in connection with the stabbing of Jacobs. In 2022, she pleaded guilty to felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and received six years of probation through deferred adjudication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The criminal case, however, was not the end of the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jacobs also pursued a civil lawsuit seeking compensation for the injuries she suffered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The $50 Million Judgment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to the latest judgment, the court awarded Jacobs approximately $40.1 million in compensatory damages<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That amount included past medical expenses as well as damages related to pain and mental anguish, physical impairment, lost earning capacity and disfigurement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The judgment also included another $10 million in exemplary damages<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The court found Mayweather fully responsible for the assault and determined that Jacobs acted in self-defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why the Award Was So Large<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The judge found that the conduct involved an intentional assault with a deadly weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exemplary damages were intended as an additional punishment and deterrent because of the seriousness of the conduct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reports say Mayweather did not appear at the civil trial, and the court assigned 100% of the responsibility to her and 0% to Jacobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Happens Now?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The huge civil judgment now exists alongside Mayweather’s criminal probation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next stage is expected to involve efforts to collect the judgment, although a court award does not automatically mean the entire amount will be paid immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The case has once again brought attention to the violent 2020 confrontation and its long-lasting consequences for everyone involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Jacobs, the judgment represents compensation for injuries that the court found caused significant physical and emotional harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than six years after the original incident, the case has now resulted in one of the biggest financial judgments connected to the confrontation.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
