The streamer, whose real name is Nurideen Shabazz, was taken into custody around 4 a.m. after officers responded to a call involving a woman who said she had been kicked off a yacht near the 200 block of North Shore Drive.

According to police, officers arrived shortly before 2 a.m. and met with the woman, who told officers she had been kicked off the yacht by Shabazz, 25, after other men attempted to speak with her.

Police said the woman told them Shabazz warned her against “entertaining anyone else but him.”

The report states that after the woman exited the yacht, Shabazz attempted to take her phone to prevent her from recording their interaction.

Officers said he grabbed her by the forearm but was unsuccessful in taking the device. Police noted that the encounter left a minor scratch on the victim’s left forearm.

The woman then called police.

According to the report, investigators later reviewed surveillance footage provided by the property owner, who told officers he had allowed Shabazz to borrow the yacht.

Police said the video showed Shabazz yelling for someone to grab the victim’s phone and make sure she wasn’t recording him. Officers wrote that the footage appeared to show Shabazz repeatedly attempting to take the phone, leading to a struggle as the victim tried to pull away.

According to the report, the footage showed the victim “cradling her body to the floor” to prevent Shabazz from taking her phone.

Police said she eventually got away from Shabazz at about 1:55 a.m. and then called 911.

Officers later learned the yacht was returning to the dock. When it arrived, police detained Shabazz for questioning.

According to the report, after being read his Miranda rights, Shabazz, of Temple Terrace, Florida, told officers he believed the victim had his phone. Police said his statement contradicted what officers observed in the video footage.

Shabazz was ultimately arrested on a charge of attempted strongarm robbery and was transported to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.

As of Wednesday afternoon, he was being held at TGK on a $2,500 bond.
