Nurideen Shabazz, the influencer boxer better known online as DeenTheGreat, was booked Wednesday in Miami-Dade County on an attempted-robbery charge. Jail records show he was processed at the county’s Turner Guilford Knight correctional center. Officials have not released further details about the alleged incident or any alleged victim.
Booking Details
According to TMZ, the booking took place Wednesday morning, with the charge listed in jail records as "robbery/strongarm/attempt." TMZ also reports Shabazz’s full name and notes that his bond status was recorded as "to be set" while processing continued.
Who Is DeenTheGreat?
Shabazz built his following as a livestreamer and influencer boxer who appears on crossover fight cards and posts viral content. His recent online profile includes a series of confrontational moments, including being slapped by powerlifter Larry Wheels and later elbowed by former UFC fighter Tiki Ghosn, incidents covered by EssentiallySports. That mix of publicity and provocation has helped fuel his rise and now frames the scrutiny surrounding his arrest.
What The Law Says
Under Florida law, robbery involves taking property from another person by force, threat, or putting the person in fear. When no weapon is used it is typically charged as a second-degree felony, while the use of a firearm or other deadly weapon can elevate the offense to a first-degree felony. Acts committed "in the course of" a robbery, including attempts, are treated as part of the robbery offense under Florida Statutes §812.13. Prosecutors will decide whether to formally file charges after they review the investigative evidence.
Next Steps
After booking, cases typically move into the Miami-Dade court system for arraignment and further filings. Court dockets and public records will ultimately show any hearing dates and official charges. The county’s inmate-search and court portals provide updated booking, bond, and hearing information for people in Miami-Dade custody, according to Miami-Dade County court resources.
This is a developing story. Updates will follow as court records or official statements provide additional details, including arraignment information and any formal filings.
