In early 2020, Iyanna found herself on the wrong side of the law after she was arrested for allegedly stabbing one of NBA Youngboy’s baby mamas. Iyanna reportedly found the woman, Lapattra Jacobs, at the NBA house and had a verbal confrontation with her. The couple’s altercation turned physical after Jacobs told Iyanna to leave the NBA residence.
Iyanna responded by stabbing Jacobs in the arm. She pleaded not guilty to the attack and was released on $30,000 bail. It wasn’t the first time Iyanna had fought a woman for the NBA. In February 2020, she attacked one of her classmates outside a hotel in Dallas.
After the alleged stabbing incident, people criticized Mayweather for his parenting skills. In response, Floyd posted a video on Instagram showing Floyd teaching Koraun some boxing moves. Floyd captioned the post: “I never claimed to be perfect, but I do strive to be the best dad I can be.”
Koraun was key witness in Floyd Mayweather’s domestic violence conviction
Floyd and his ex-girlfriend Josie Harris had a long but unhealthy relationship. Harris accused Floyd of domestic violence six times. In 2010, Floyd spent two months in jail for assaulting Harris. He was arrested after Koraun saw him beating Josie and reported Floyd to authorities.
In an interview with USA Today in 2014, Koraun referred to Floyd as a “coward.” “(My dad) told him to close my door and stay in my room,” he added. “I went back to my room and closed the door and then ran outside and then jumped over the door and went to the front door. I just told (the guard) that my mom was getting hurt and for her to call the ambulance and the police.”
Floyd stated in a later interview that he was simply trying to hold Harris back because she was high. Harris denied Floyd’s claims and filed a $20 million lawsuit for defamation and intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress.
Sadly, in early March 2020, Josie was found dead in her car outside her California residence. She was allegedly writing a revealing book about her relationship with Floyd and the abuse he inflicted on her when they were together. It is unclear if she finished the book or if it will be published.
Josie previously spoke about Floyd’s abusive behavior during an interview with USA Today. “I was a battered woman,” she said. “I was ashamed to say that I was a battered woman. I felt embarrassed. I felt it was my fault. What did I do? I did not understand what a battered woman was at that time. I now know that she was in a very dysfunctional and hostile relationship and that she was a victim of domestic violence.”
Koraun and Iyanna have successful music careers

One of the highlights of Koraun’s career was when he performed in front of 40,000 people as Floyd walked to the ring for one of his title fights. Josie, Koraun’s mom, spoke with elite magazine about that performance. She said, “It takes someone special to be able to perform in front of so many people for the first time, and to be able to do it effortlessly says something.”
Floyd was accused of strangling his ‘adopted’ son Devion Cromwell after the couple argued
Devion Cromwell is the son of Floyd’s ex-girlfriend, Melissa Brim. He is referred to as Floyd’s ‘adopted’ son because Floyd raised him, but never formally adopted him.
The alleged choking incident took place on Halloween 2014 after Floyd unexpectedly arrived at Melissa’s house to find Devion with some friends. Floyd ordered everyone to leave the building and proceeded to angrily argue with Devion. As the couple argued, the boy yelled, “You’re not my father.”
Floyd then put Devion in a rear naked choke. Devion spoke to the police after the incident and friends of his assisted in his statement. However, Devion reportedly refused to pursue the affair due to the influence Floyd had on him and Melissa. A source talking to Sun saying:
“He controls our entire family through fear and money. It’s only a matter of time before it happens again or, God forbid, worse… Devion worries that if he betrays Floyd, he’ll stop giving money to his mother.”
Devion and Floyd stopped speaking after the incident and it is unclear if they reconciled.
