What has happened to my 4yo

Hi all
I can't work out why my sons behaviour has changed so much.
He has been disrespectful,disobedient,nasty (especially to his 2yo sister) and has major melt downs and tantrums over seemingly small things.
I have tried all sorts such as, talking to him calmly and trying to listen to him or his replies. Asked if I can help him or tried to help resolve what's upsetting him. He just screams and lashes out at me. I've got cross and angry. Tried time outs for this and had a 3 strike system before he loses out on things. (Which he has).
When told no to things he completely goes against me or his dad and carries on. If his sister is told to stop doing something he then does it and grins at me.
I'm at a total loss as to what to do now. I don't want him growing up to be some nasty child who other kids won't want to play with.
Please help me.

How long has this been happening for @Fazel? Has anything changed like daycare or pre-school? Has he had any illness just before this started?
