Antonio Brown seemed to point fingers at the media for his ongoing troubles as the former NFL star confronts serious allegations in Miami-Dade County.
A judge issued an arrest warrant for him, linked to an incident that occurred outside a celebrity boxing event last month.
On social media, Brown raised questions about racial profiling, asking, “Is Antonio Brown a racial profile?” as he posted a screenshot along with a lengthy caption suggesting that “they” control the media, though he didn’t clarify who he meant.
He expressed, “How do you go from being sacrificed?” and continued, “I think they control the media. It took a month to change the story. They want to portray three types of outcomes for Black men in America: dead or in prison.”
His post ended with hashtags like “Black” and “Takedown.”
The altercation occurred on May 16 when Brown alleged he intervened in a robbery outside Brand Risk Boxing Promotion.
Online videos captured the chaos as Brown fought with several individuals before ending up on the ground. At one point, he kicked a man while the sound of a gunshot was heard, and in another clip, police led him away afterward.
While Brown insists he is a victim of bias, the warrant details police accounts, including statements from Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, who claimed Brown attacked him with a firearm, causing him to fear for his life.
Nantambu asserted that he had known Brown since 2022 and recounted a “verbal altercation” that preceded the violence.
A representative from the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office commented, “The warrant speaks for itself,” when asked for remarks last week.
Since the warrant was issued, Brown has traveled to the Middle East. Authorities have not deemed him a fugitive.
Brown has been active online while abroad, and Miami Police Chief Manny Morales indicated he believes the ex-steeler is still in Dubai. Morales stated they are in touch with Brown’s legal team and expect him to be arrested upon his return to Florida.
