On a serious note, we wish the woman who was attacked LaPattra Jacobs a full and speedy recovery.
The incident happened when YaYa went to YoungBoy's Houston, Texas home on Saturday, April 4 at around 1:30 A.M. and confronted the woman claiming she was his fiance and told LaPattra to leave the house before allegedly charging at her with two knives. YaYa allegedly stabbed LaPattra twice. YaYa was arrested and taken to a jail in Harris County, Texas, but later released after posting a $30,000 bond.
Money comes easy when you're the daughter of Floyd 'Money' Mayweather. Early reports suggested that she could face as many as 99 years in prison but in the time since we have learned that YaYa has been charged with second-degree aggravated assault, which carries a sentence of two to 20 years in prison. With that said, she has hired the finest lawyers who are already laying claims that the attack was in self-defense. We will have to wait to see how that all plays out.
In the meantime, our recent drops on Yaya and NBA Youngboy got a lot of attention from you guys so we decided to do a follow-up versus video squaring these two lovers off against one another in a series we have titled Versus.

Now, the reason I bring up these two is that they actually have a longstanding beef stemming back almost a year ago to when Tekashi was still locked up. At the time, Tekashi’s baby mama, Sara Molina, hopped on a local & discount / community-based podcast and told a little story about NBA YoungBoy sliding into her DM’S over something she said about him.
