Yaya Mayweather confronted her past in a vulnerable stream of posts, apologizing to her parents and to Lapattra Jacobs, the woman she stabbed in 2020 during a confrontation at NBA YoungBoy‘s home.

The 25-year-old daughter of boxing icon Floyd Mayweather wrote, “I’m not just this dumb delusional girl who lives a perfect life. … I’ve been through and I go through things just like anybody else,” opening a reflection that marked a shift from her previous silence on the matter.

The incident occurred in April 2020 when Mayweather, then 19, was arrested for stabbing Jacobs, who also shares a child with NBA YoungBoy.

Mayweather eventually pleaded guilty to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and was sentenced to six years of probation.

In her posts, Mayweather directly addressed her parents, Floyd Mayweather and Melissa Brim, saying, “I apologize to my family, more specifically my father and mother, if any of my actions over the years have embarrassed you or affected you in any way.”

She also issued a rare apology to Jacobs, stating, “To anyone i may have hurt over the years i apologize, including Lapattra Jacobs… even though yes it was self defense i apologize.”

Though she maintained her actions were in self-defense, the apology marked a notable change in tone and public accountability.

Her legal team had previously defended her actions in court, but this is the first time Mayweather has publicly expressed regret toward Jacobs.

Mayweather ended her posts with a statement about her desire to change how she’s perceived.

“I want to right my wrongs while I’m still here and able to,” she added. “I want y’all to see the real me and not this f##### up perception.”

The couple’s public display of affection unfolded under Parisian streetlights as photographers captured their kiss and coordinated fits. The outing comes just weeks after the birth of their daughter, Rocki, on September 13. She joins big brothers RZA, 3, and Riot, 2.

Their stylish date night followed their appearance at the 2025 CFDA Awards, the first red-carpet event they had attended since Rocki’s arrival.

At the ceremony, Rocky was honored with the Style Icon Award while Rihanna cheered from the audience.

“She the one, not the two,” Rocky told Access Hollywood. “She inspires me a lot. It’s really dope to see us carrying on the legacy and following tradition for our family. It’s dope, it’s sick. We’re first to do it.”

Pusha T is setting the record straight after he reignited long-standing tensions with Kanye West and Travis Scott during Clipse’s high-profile album rollout for Let God Sort Em Out.

The Virginia duo, made up of Pusha T and No Malice, didn’t just return to the spotlight—they lit it up with a barrage of pointed remarks and unapologetic interviews.

In multiple press stops, Pusha T took aim at Kanye West and Travis Scott, calling out both artists and making it clear that their reunion wasn’t about nostalgia—it was about making noise.

The controversy spilled into their music. On the track “So Be It,” Pusha T delivered thinly veiled jabs at Travis Scott, later doubling down by referring to the Houston rapper as a “w####” in follow-up interviews.

The move stirred debate, but Pusha T stood firm, telling GQ, “You can’t let the journalism be a main focus of the rollout and you tiptoe around s###. I wasn’t going to come in and give you scenarios, and be tiptoeing around the stories. I’ll take the criticism, it’s fine. But never call me a liar. Because I never lie. I never lie. Lemme tell you something: I think lying’s for b######. If you lie about s###, that’s because you’re scared of something, and I’m not scared of anything or anybody.”

Critics accused the duo of manufacturing controversy to boost attention, but No Malice pushed back, defending his brother’s approach.

“Yeah, but look who’s saying that, though. Because on the other end of that spectrum, there are people who really see clearly that Pusha don’t lean on that kind of stuff. And look how long he sat on what has been going on.”

No Malice added that the Thornton brothers don’t operate like others in the industry. “But that’s what they do on the other side. So they think that we play that over here, but nah, we don’t. And we don’t snitch and we don’t tell.”

Their strategy stood in stark contrast to the surprise-drop model dominating modern rap.

According to Pusha T, the traditional rollout was intentional. “People talk about standing on business. This is the best way to do it musically.”

Despite the backlash, Clipse’s comeback has been met with critical acclaim.

Let God Sort Em Out earned five Grammy nominations, including Album of the Year and Best Rap Album, with features from Kendrick Lamar, Pharrell Williams, John Legend and Voices of Fire.

Yung Lean opened up about his complicated relationship with Kanye West, reflecting on how the rapper’s antisemitic remarks and erratic behavior ultimately led him to step away, as he revealed during a recent episode of The New York Times’ “Popcast.”

The Yung Lean interview peeled back the layers of a once-promising creative relationship that unraveled under the weight of mental health concerns and public controversy.

Lean spoke openly about his decision to cut ties with West, citing personal boundaries and a desire to protect his own well-being.

“Kanye is mentally ill,” Lean said. “I’ve been there and I feel for him, and I think all this stuff that he says about Jewish people — my grandfather was Jewish … I don’t know, I can’t defend him, but it’s a mentally ill person who still did ‘Flashing Lights.’”

He added, ” I haven’t seen him for a long time now, ’cause it’s too much. I can’t really be around it.”

Lean recalled a dinner with West about three years ago that initially felt inspiring. He described it as a moment of shared creativity between two artists. But things quickly shifted.

“I mean, when I was alone with him like three years ago and we just had dinner, it was lovely,” he said. “It was fun. It was like two kids sharing ideas, and he has a big heart, and you can tell that it’s all good. But then, the next time I saw him, I could feel that the vibe had gone darker, and then the tweets started coming. It was too much.”

Yung Lean Explains Why Kanye West Collab Off The Table

The rapper explained that his decision to step back wasn’t about public backlash but a personal reckoning with his own history of mental health struggles.

“I mean, the public s###, I don’t really care too much about, but I just felt like, ‘Oh, I’m being dragged into something that I’ve been dragged into myself. And the best thing I could do is not, you know, make a song with this man. It’s more like, ‘I’ve been manic, too, I’ve been psychotic. Lithium works, this works.’ But he’s not going to listen to anyone. And that’s his thing.”

West’s antisemitic statements have led to widespread fallout in the music industry. Multiple brands and artists have severed ties with the rapper in recent years.

West recently met with Rabbi Yoshiyahu Pinto in New York City to apologize for his remarks and expressed “profound remorse,” attributing his behavior to bipolar disorder.

LGP QUA will forever be remembered in the streets where he once walked, as Philadelphia officials prepare to rename the intersection of 9th and Clearfield Streets “Voice of the Youth” in honor of the fallen Hip-Hop artist.

The 30-year-old rapper, who earned the nickname “Voice of the Youth,” was gunned down on Mother’s Day during what authorities described as a botched robbery attempt.

LGP QUA’s musical journey began after his release from prison in his early twenties, when he transformed his life experiences into powerful lyrics that resonated with Philadelphia’s youth.

His 2017 freestyle addressing Meek Mill‘s incarceration brought him widespread recognition and landed a high-profile collaboration with will.I.am, while his community outreach gained him more respect.

His Instagram documented regular visits to the blighted Kensington neighborhood, where he handed out hot coffee and backpacks to drug addicts and those in need.

City Council previously recognized LGP QUA’s charitable efforts with an official citation, acknowledging his dedication to helping Philadelphia’s youth through various community initiatives.

The investigation into LGP QUA’s murder has resulted in three arrests. Joshua Thomas-Coleman and Abdul Boyd, both 19, were initially charged with murder, conspiracy and robbery.

The third suspect, 22-year-old Amir Earley, evaded capture for two months before U.S. Marshals apprehended him on Reach Street in Northeast Philadelphia.

Earley faces identical charges to his co-defendants, including murder, conspiracy, robbery and weapons violations. He was denied bail during his preliminary arraignment and remains in custody.

Snoop Dogg and Meek Mill publicly mourned the Philadelphia native following news of his death.

“Killing ambitious young bulls like this on Mother’s Day is a Philly type of thing,” Meek Mill posted on social media.

The street renaming ceremony on Saturday (November 8) represents more than just a memorial; it symbolizes Philadelphia’s commitment to honoring those who worked to uplift their communities despite facing personal struggles.
