Iyanna “YaYa” Mayweather has called on J. Prince’s lawyer, Kurt Schaffer, to defend her in her court case for allegedly stabbing NBA YoungBoy’s baby mama.
Iyanna “YaYa” Mayweather is seeking the best the best legal counsel to represent her in court, as she is facing a felony aggravated assault for allegedly stabbing her “fiancé” NBA YoungBoy’s baby mama, Lapattra Jacobs. After the news broke last weekend that YaYa, daughter Floyd Mayweather, had been arrested for her alleged involvement in the stabbing Lapattra at YoungBoy’s home, the incident led to tons subsequent drama. Not only did it ignite (or possibly reignite) beef between Kodak Black and YB, but it also caused YB to call YaYa’s famous father a “bitch ass n*gga” in front her. YaYa has also been ordered to stay away from Lapattra, who ended up needing emergency surgery on both her stab wounds. The situation is pretty serious, YaYa is making sure she has the best legal representation out there.

Schaffer has successfully defended founder and CEO Houston’s Rap-a-Lot Records, J. Prince, in the past. Prince was accused ordering Ronnie Bookman to be jumped in 2007 at his gym complex due to Bookman’s alleged refusal to sell his ownership stake in a local recording studio. According to Prince, Bookman ultimately admitted to committing perjury in a deposition for a separate $10 million civil suit against Prince, and prosecutors subsequently dropped the case.
