Yaya Mayweather Posed A $1000 Challenge To Her Instagram Live Viewers This Past Weekend

Roommates, we all know Yaya Mayweather is the right one when it comes to speaking her mind. This past weekend was no different. While on Instagram live, Yaya posed a very interesting challenge to her followers.

“Find the lace. If y’all can find the lace, I’ll CashApp you a $1000,” Yaya said.

 

At the time of the live, she appeared to be spending some time in these streets. Yaya was sitting at a table near a wall with white tiles. In the background of the live, guests near her can be heard having an independent conversation. The clashing of dishes can also be heard.

Yaya was wearing a white hoodie with diamonds adorning her ears, wrist, neck and fingers.

Prior to stating the challenge, Yaya began admiring her free-flowing hairstyle in the camera. She tilts her head to the side and pulls some of her loose curls behind her ear exposing her large diamond stud earring and slicked baby hair. While looking at the camera, she partially compliments the hair stylist.

“Jasmine did so good on my uh…” Yaya said.

Before finishing that sentence, Yaya poses the challenge to the live viewers. She offers the $1000 chunk of change with a smirk and pointed finger.

Shortly after, she looks away from the camera to address someone off-camera and begins repeating back the challenge.

This isn’t the first time Yaya has been candid about her thoughts while on Instagram live.

Let’s not forget back in February when Yaya grabbed social media’s attention by demanding guests at a yacht party turn off a popular song. Yaya yelled several times about turning off the song “Bad Blood” by Pooh Shiesty featuring Lil Durk. Initially, the song continued to play and Yaya offered her thoughts on it.

Why yall playing that weak a** song for?, she said.

Social media seized the opportunity to host a drag session calling Yaya a hater.

Yaya Mayweather is the daughter of professional boxer, Floyd Mayweather. The 20-year-old is a mother toa baby boy with rapper and ex-boyfriend NBA Youngboy.
