Deen the Great hasn’t learned his lesson. The 25-year-old influencer/boxer recently joined Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson for a collaboration on KICK for his double date live stream. However, things turned ugly when popular powerlifter Larry Wheels and his wife, Sheyla, joined the duo. Deen, aka Nurideen Shahid Shabazz, decided to flirt with Wheels’ wife while also insulting Wheels. The 6′1″ bodybuilding veteran slapped the controversial influencer, leading to a tussle. Thankfully, Rampage Jackson and his security took Deen away to ensure it didn’t escalate further. However, since then, the fight between the two has moved to Twitter, with Deen the Great issuing an open threat to Wheels.

According to most people online, the 25-year-old boxer seemed intoxicated during the incident, which led to him disrespecting Wheels and his wife. However, even hours later, it looks like Deen is issuing threats.

In the clip, Shabazz can be seen talking to Jackson right after the slap, claiming he has his “strap” in the car, adding, “he isn’t bulletproof.” While Wheels didn’t go further than that with his tweets, Shabazz wasn’t quite done milking the viral moment. He shared another clip with Jackson, who asked him to apologize. However, Deen had other ideas.
“Larry… your wife’s good… From the bottom of my heart, I want to apologize to absolutely nobody,” Shabazz said in the video captioned, “Am I wrong tho?”
It’s worth noting that such behavior isn’t anything new for Deen The Great. He previously made a vile comment about his last opponent, Amado Vargas’s mother, during their press conference last year. Vargas ended up beating Great in their six-round boxing match. And Shabazz hasn’t fought since.
Regardless, this wasn’t the first time Shabazz and Wheels had crossed paths.
Deen The Great asked a burning question to Larry Wheels’ wife
Before their altercation during the livestream, Shabazz had joined Wheels on his KICK stream. Several clips of the duo training together flooded social media. In one, Wheels can be seen spinning Shabazz around by his wrist while wrestling after the 25-year-old claimed weight classes don’t matter.
In others, Wheels can be seen punching the boxer with a boxing glove on the stomach, which sent Shabazz crashing. Meanwhile, other clips showed the 25-year-old choking out Wheels with a rear-naked choke. However, the most revealing moment in their stream together came when one of Shabazz’s viewers asked Sheyla a question—why she hasn’t posted any pictures of Wheels on Instagram, even though the latter has posted several of hers.
“She would get so many trolls, it was getting to her,” Wheels explained. “At that time, I [was] hardly on social media. Now I don’t care, but I just archived it all.”
“You post him, you’re clout chasing. You don’t post him, you’re hiding him,” Sheyla added. “We are ALL THE TIME together. I’m not hiding this man.”
From the looks of it, the newly sparked rivalry between Deen The Great and Larry Wheels is beginning to intensify. Whether it ultimately leads to a full-blown showdown remains to be seen. Still, despite the significant gap in their weight classes, the possibility can’t be ruled out. What did you make of Deen’s threats?
