Floyd Mayweather's daughter Yaya faces up to 99-Years in prison for stabbing NBA YoungBoy's babymama 

Floyd Mayweather's daughter Yaya is facing a possible prison sentence of up to 99 years for allegedly stabbing NBA YoungBoy's baby mama. Yaya, who is 19 years old, was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon following the altercation. The incident took place at rapper NBA YoungBoy's home in Houston and resulted in a physical fight between Yaya and Lapattra Jacobs.
