Floyd Mayweather has been described by many social media pundits as the best boxer in the past ten years.
The boxing legend is rumored to be worth 450 million dollars and has earned more than 1.1 billion dollars throughout his career. Mayweather has four biological children and one adopted son. But what is his relationship like with his two daughters Jirah and Yaya?
Jirah Has Called Out Floyd 'Money' Mayweather For Being An Absent Father
Mayweather is father to Jirah, 17, Koraun, 22, and Zion, 19, with ex-wife Josie Harris. Jirah Mayweather is the youngest of his children with Harris. In September 2010, Mayweather was sentenced to 90 days in prison after Harris claimed he beat her in front of their children. Harris says she suffered physical abuse from the boxer on "six occasions." Tragically aged 40, Harris accidentally died of a drug overdose in March last year.
Since the death of her mother, Jirah has had a strained relationship with her father. Jirah shared a message on Twitter implying that the boxer prioritized himself over his children. "Going from a parent who put ur happiness before theirs to a parent who puts their happiness before yours is probably one of the most frustrating thing ever," she tweeted.
In response to the message, Mayweather uploaded a picture of Jirah to his Instagram account but later deleted it. "Jirah, I will always love you unconditionally and always know that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. There is no limit to how far you can go in life! Always put God first and everything else will fall in place," Floyd Mayweather said in the deleted post.
A month after her mother's untimely death, Jirah is took shots at her father, as well as, her siblings in a viral TikTok video. The teen was seen lip synching throughout the video to the song “According to You,” by Australian singer Orianthi. In the background of the video, she is seen smiling in a snap as she stands next to her dad. Yet the lyrics to the song contradict the family photo.
The lyrics include: “According to you/I’m stupid/I’m useless./I can’t do anything right.” The next picture shown is that of her brothers and sisters. She points to them as the lyrics play, “According to you/I’m difficult/Hard to please/Forever changing my mind.”
Mayweather Is Close To His Daughter Yaya And His Grandchild
Mayweather seems to have a better relationship with his 21-year-old daughter Iyanna “Yaya” Mayweather. Yaya's mother is Melissia Brim a businesswoman and TV star. Yaya has been the center of controversy in the last few years. Last year, Floyd confirmed that Yaya was expecting her first child with rapper NBA YoungBoy - real name Kentrell Gaulden. The “Life Support” artist is known to have eight children with seven different women.
Yaya gave birth to her and NBA YoungBoy’s son on January 9, 2021. Her proud father shared a picture of the baby’s foot on Instagram. Floyd is very fond of his grandson Kentrell Jr. and has showered him with gifts - even a Rolex.
Mayweather Has Posted Videos With His Grandson
Mayweather is even teaching Kentrell Jr. how to box. In a video shared online, Mayweather has huge boxing gloves on his hands as he throws a couple of punches in the air, to show Kentrell Jr. how it’s done.
In an appearance on the radio show “Hollywood Unlocked,” Floyd spoke candidly about Yaya’s pregnancy. “Always want the best,” he said. “If that makes her happy, then we’re happy…me and her mother are happy.”
He was also asked about her relationship with NBA YoungBoy. “What I try not to do is be in her personal business because once she’s no longer under my roof, then you know what? it’s between her and her better half.” He continued on to say “As far as NBA… I look at NBA YoungBoy as a child. I can’t get upset with a kid like that. It could’ve been one of those days for him.”
Yaya Mayweather Faces 20 Years In Prison
Back in April, Yaya was arrested for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The mom-of-one allegedly attacked NBA Youngboy’s baby mama, Lapattra Jacobs. The attack reportedly occurred after Yaya found the pair together in his home.
The pair allegedly got into an altercation that turned violent - with Yaya "stabbing" Jacobs. Emergency workers found Lapattra bleeding on the floor at the scene. Jacobs claimed on her YouTube channel that she lost 90% of the nerves in her left arm and posed wearing a bandage and a sling in an Instagram video.
