Why exactly did powerlifter slap boxer on Rampage Jackson’s stream?

Date:

Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Rampage Jackson recently featured American powerlifter Larry Wheels and his wife, Sheyla, on one of his Kick streams. Joining them for dinner was Boxer Nurideen “DeenTheGreat,” who, by the night’s end, received a slap across his face from Wheels. The stream aired on February 16 and was titled “Double Date w/ DeenTheGreat.”

About four hours into the broadcast, Rampage and Deen, along with their dates, ran into Larry Wheels and Sheyla at a restaurant. Based on the stream’s Video On Demand (VOD), the energy was initially positive with the group laughing as they exchanged greetings.

It should be noted that Deen and Larry have collaborated in the past, specifically in training sessions and spars. Through these sessions, clips of Wheels knocking Deen down with body shots and body slamming him went viral online.

In a moment of foreshadowing, a Text To Speech (TTS) donation asking Larry to “please smack Deen,” came through about half an hour after the group sat down to eat. In response, Wheels jokingly said:

“Oh, it’s coming.” [Timestamp – 4:33:40]

As the group wrapped up their meal, Deen put forth some arguments about human evolution. Rampage Jackson contested these arguments, and as the debate dragged on, Larry Wheels stepped in, proclaiming Rampage to be the winner:

“I got to step in and [referee] this, Deen lost that argument… Let’s move on. (‘I agree with Deen,’ said Sheyla) (‘Your wifey agrees with me,’ said DeenTheGreat).”

Outside, Deen went on to mention that Sheyla agreed with his arguments and even asked for a hug from the powerlifter’s wife. This moment intensified the growing tension between the two, and Larry pulled Deen away and said:

“I know we’re streaming and sh*t… (‘Don’t disrespect this motherf**ker like that,’ said Rampage Jackson).”

Deen continued to reach out for a hug, calling Sheyla a “queen.” Visibly agitated, Larry Wheels kept his cool at this point, asking Deen to “chill.” In response, the boxer said:

“Man, f**k this ni**a. This ni**a spun me around thinkin’ I’m finna be respectful… His wife up for grabs, she smilin’, she laughin’.”

Despite Larry’s warnings, Deen continued to egg him on, reaching out for Sheyla. Ultimately, the powerlifter’s patience ran dry, and he smacked Deen across the face, sending him stumbling.


“He not bulletproof”: DeenTheGreat speaks after getting slapped by Larry Wheels on Rampage Jackson’s stream

Following the altercation, Larry Wheels seemed satisfied, saying:

“That felt good… after getting sh*t on, I was waiting for that f**king moment… (‘That was a real a*s slap… get your a*s in the van,’ said Rampage Jackson).”

Back in the van, DeenTheGreat vented his frustrations and threatened violence against Larry, saying:

“I got my strap in the car, f**k this ni**a, bruh. Ni**a just slapped the sh*t outta me in front of the girls… This ni**a ain’t bulletproof.” [Timestamp 5:34:07]

Rampage, trying to calm Deen down, suggested that gun violence was not the way:

“(I want to shoot this ni**a’, said Deen) No, no, we’re not doing that, we ain’t goin’ to prison over no slap.”


In other news, Rampage Jackson said that he stopped talking to his son after his reported attack on a pro wrestler.
