As a result, she now faces six years of probation for the assault, which may include community service, restitution, or a combination of both. Mayweather was potentially facing up to 20 years in prison for the offense. A court hearing has now been scheduled for June 16, 2022.
After her arrest, Yaya was taken to the Harris County jail in Houston but was later released on bond. Jacobs sustained multiple injuries to her arm and received medical treatment at a hospital, where she underwent surgery.
Fortunately, her injuries were determined to be non-life-threatening.
The circumstances leading up to the stabbing remain unclear. It is known that NBA Youngboy, whose birth name is Kentrell DeSean Gaulden, and Mayweather were previously in a relationship. Jacobs is the mother of one of NBA’s children.
In response to Jacobs’ civil suit, NBA Youngboy’s attorney stated that he should not be held liable for damages as Mayweather bears sole responsibility for the assault.
