DeenTheGreat, the influencer boxer known off camera as Nurideen Shabazz, was arrested in Miami-Dade County on a felony attempted robbery charge, according to jail records obtained by TMZ. He was booked Wednesday morning and was being processed at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in Miami, with bond still listed as “to be set.”
Police say the arrest stems from an incident on a yacht involving a woman identified as Destiny Aleman. In the report, she claimed Deen tried to take her phone after forcing her off the vessel, and said the situation began after he became upset that other men were allegedly speaking to her.
Allegations described in the police report
According to the report, Aleman told officers Deen grabbed her forearm and tried to snatch her phone after she got off the yacht. She also said the encounter left a minor scratch on her arm, while she tried to stop him from taking the device.
Police say the yacht owner later handed over Ring camera footage from the property. Investigators said the video showed Deen yelling for someone to grab the woman’s phone and make sure she was not recording him.
The report also states that Deen allegedly put his hands on her several times while trying to take the phone as she attempted to get away. Officers said the footage showed the woman curling up on the ground before eventually breaking free.
Who DeenTheGreat is online
DeenTheGreat built a following through viral livestreams, internet feuds and influencer boxing matches, becoming a familiar name in the crossover fight scene. He has also been known for collaborations, including content with looksmaxxer Clavicular.
Up until late yesterday, he was still streaming with Tekashi 6ix9ine, making the arrest a sudden turn for a creator who remained active online shortly before being booked. With the charge listed as robbery/strongarm/attempt, the case now adds a legal problem to a public profile built around high-energy streaming and boxing content.
