Mother, father and early life
Iyanna was raised in Las Vegas alongside her three half-siblings by her father and her mother Melissa Brim. Her half-siblings are from her father’s relationship with his ex-girlfriend Josie Harris, who was found dead in her car on 23 June 2002, reportedly from drug overdose.
Iyanna attended a local high school at which she was mostly focused on playing sports and shaping her body to prepare herself for the modelling career she was hoping to launch.

Career as a singer

Who is Iyanna’s father Floyd Mayweather Jr.?
Floyd Joy Mayweather Jr. was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan USA, on 24 February 1977 – his zodiac sign is Pisces and he holds American nationality. He fought as a boxer from 1996 to 2015 and during those 19 years won fifteen world titles, while he retired with 50 wins and no defeats.
He was raised in Grand Rapids by his father Floyd Mayweather Sr. who was also a boxer, and his mother who was a housewife. His father sold drugs and was eventually sent to prison, while his mother was addicted to them. Floyd studied at Ottawa Hills High School, but quit to focus on boxing.
Floyd was 16 when he won the Golden Gloves national championship, and by that time had an 84-6 amateur record.
He entered the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia USA, and there won a bronze medal in the featherweight category. He fought his debut professional fight on 11 October 1996, when he beat Roberto Apodaca in the second round by a knockout. Floyd won his first world title in 1998 when he beat Genaro Hernandez in The Ring in the eighth round by a technical knockout, and he was then named the eighth best boxer on Earth. One of his hardest and most notable battles was against Diego Corrales who was a former International Boxing Federation (IBF) super featherweight champion and had a 33-0 record before facing Floyd. Floyd won after Corrales’ cornermen stopped the fight as he was knocked down by Floyd five times by round 10.
Floyd beat every opponent he faced, and after his retirement in 2015, he only returned for one match in 2017, to fight the Irish mixed martial artist Conor McGregor on 26 August 2017, and won with a technical knockout in the tenth round.
Although he has always spoken against the men who are violent towards women, Floyd was charged with domestic violence in 2002, and sentenced to spend two days under house arrest and do two days of community service. Similar thing happened in 2004, when he was convicted of misdemeanor battery against two women.
