Overview
- The civil judgment requires Iyanna 'Yaya' Mayweather to pay Lapattra Jacobs $40,105,000 in compensatory damages plus $10,000,000 in exemplary damages for a total of $50,105,000.
- The suit traces to an April 2020 confrontation at NBA YoungBoy’s Texas home where police say Mayweather stabbed Jacobs with two knives and Jacobs was hospitalized.
- Mayweather pleaded guilty in 2022 to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and received six years of deferred adjudication and probation separate from the civil case.
- The compensatory award covers past and future medical costs, pain and suffering, physical impairment, lost earning capacity, and disfigurement including Jacobs’ claim of lasting arm damage.
- Enforcement questions remain because Mayweather’s lawyer previously said she has no meaningful assets, so collection, possible appeals, and the judgment’s practical impact are uncertain.
