Raja Jackson is being probed by the Los Angeles Police Department after a video of him punching an unconscious professional wrestler, Syko Stu, went viral on social media. The incident, which reportedly took place at the KnokX Pro Wrestling Academy, was streamed live and went viral.

Rampage Jackson, who had earlier released a statement about the incident, said on a stream posted on his website that his son has "not been the same" since his mother was murdered. However, he added the disclaimer that it has nothing to do with the incident with his son.

“But, this, don't got nothing to do with nothing that's going on," Rampage Jackson said. :But all I'm gonna say is that my son hasn't been the same since his mom got murdered.”

Details about Raja Jackson's mother is not publicly disclosed. According to reports, Raja Jackson was born to Quinton Jackson from a relationship he had in college.
