A woman who appeared to physically attack Yaya Mayweather is clearing the air on what allegedly went down. Jaleec Pino, a podcaster, claims Floyd Mayweather’s daughter put her hands on her first. She also alleges Yaya insulted her before the caught-on-camera fight. So far, Pino is the only one who has spoken out about what happened.
Much of the online footage of the physical fight appears to have originated from Jaleec Pino, who posted or reposted it on her Instagram Stories, and possibly TikTok users. Though this hasn’t been fully confirmed. Nonetheless, the fight and its footage gained momentum on Saturday (August 8). In one Instagram Stories video, Pino is seen throwing an object three times toward a car Yaya was riding in. She added an NBA YoungBoy song to the clip, which she captioned: “Scary A** B****”A third post was a photo of Pino apparently gripping Yaya by the hair and pushing her towards the ground. She dropped an @ for Yaya in that post and included 50 Cent’s song, ‘What Up Gangsta.’
In one of her Instagram Stories videos, Jaleec showed her open palm with a small cut at the center. The caption written in the video said, “POV: Jaleec gets into a altercation with Iyanna Mayweather aka Money Yaya.”Meanwhile, in the clip, Pino said the cut resulted from a fight with Yaya, who allegedly “slapped” her.
“…So it was self-defense, so whatever she told the police she lying y’all,” Pino said in the clip.
It’s unclear at this time whether cops were called to the scene of the tussle or if a police report was filed. Later in her Stories, amid videos and screenshots of the confrontation, Jaleec shared a screenshot of her gripping Yaya by the hair while throwing punches. The text on the clip said, “Yaya Mayweather called me a messy b**** this what happened. “
Sometime after the fight, Jaleec Pino hopped online to clarify that Yaya and her crew “popped it first.” She claimed that Yaya “starts everything,” including online. This time, Mayweather allegedly accused her of speaking about her during an interview, which Jaleec denied. Rather than given an example, Mayweather then allegedly threw shade about big foreheads and buns, seemingly aimed at Pino.
“It don’t matter how y’all try to paint it out, but she really kicked it off first. Talk about that. Don’t act like I did anything. She talks too much and she thought I was overly protected.”
In Live Bitez’s comment section, more than 2,700 reactions poured in. Reactions to the footage and Jaleec’s post-fight commentary were mixed. Some people called out the podcaster for trying to force a fight with a seemingly unwilling participant. Others urged Yaya to get better security, applauded her restraint and encouraged her to press charges.
@comedian_actor_aj commented, “First off shes way to little for that girl to be running up on her and secondly yaya looks drunk asf shes clearly not in fighting mode..we seen how yaya move all fast tryna fight when sober security fired!!!!”
“Yaya is smart. She didn’t swing first so that’s assault on this girl. She didn’t agitate so no case for her to seem like the aggressors. AND she’s on probation for STABBING someone – she is hands off! Ain’t no way she is trying to go to jail,” @illestemm added.
“Thats weird. She so damn small come get me yaya I got you ,” @bodixonna wrote.
@wifeythamizfit said, “The way they would locked up right now. They attacked her and damaged her car. Where is her security?”
“Girl now you might go to jail posting this ,” @binttaa1 added.
@studewoodmike59 commented, “Security need to be fired immediately.”
@lailavland added, “This why nobody f*ck wit u jaleec, your supposed to be a pod caster and your getting in your feelings fighting the people YOUR GOSSIPING about. When tf did the podcasters start fighting the talent . Ps come pick on somebody your size.”
