Floyd Mayweather’s daughter Iyanna Mayweather was reportedly arrested this weekend for allegedly stabbing the baby mother of rapper NBA Youngboy.

Mayweather's daughter whom the former boxer shares with Melissa Brim, was taken into police custody in the early hours of Saturday morning (4 April) for felony aggravated assault.

According to TMZ, Iyanna was being held at the Harris County Jail in Houston. Police sources told the publication that NBA Youngboy was at home with Lapattra Lashai Jacobs when Iyanna arrived at the house.

Jacobs reportedly told Iyanna, also known as Yaya, that she was NBA Youngboy’s fiance and that Iyanna should leave. However, an argument ensued and moved into the kitchen where Iyanna allegedly had two knives. When Jacobs reportedly stepped towards Iyanna, Floyd’s daughter charged at her with one of the knives.

Jacobs is said to have told the police that she didn’t feel the first knife wound but then Iyanna allegedly charged at her with the second knife, stabbing her again.

Paramedics found Jacobs laying on the floor and transported her to a hospital. Her current condition is not known. It’s claimed that NBA Youngboy, real name Kentrell DeSean Gaulden, was briefly handcuffed as a precautionary measure before being freed.

Giving her own account of the incident to police, Iyanna reportedly claimed Jacobs had initially pulled her hair outside the house before running into the kitchen where the main incident took place. Iyanna is said to have told police that she had never met Jacobs before.
