Antonio Brown has been keeping himself occupied, even while facing attempted murder charges this week.
The former NFL wide receiver recently visited rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine’s home in Florida and spent time with YouTuber Adin Ross. Together, they took a lie detector test that revealed some interesting things. For instance, Brown, perhaps surprisingly, lied about regretting his shirtless exit from MetLife Stadium in 2022 but admitted he still has affection for Ben Roethlisberger and enjoys his time with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Before the lie detector session, Brown, 6ix9ine, and Ross played some pickup football outside. A passing fan caught their attention, which is worth noting given 6ix9ine’s legal troubles and recent home incidents. Brown then made an off-handed comment, referencing political commentator Charlie Kirk, asking if anyone would “make me Charlie Kirk,” alluding to Kirk’s assassination in September. It’s something 6ix9ine has mentioned in similar contexts before.
For context, Kirk was shot during a debate at Utah Valley University, which, frankly, is a pretty disturbing backdrop for their casual get-together.
Recently, Brown was extradited from Dubai over charges linked to an incident in May at a boxing event in Miami, where shots were reportedly fired. This came after a controversial Super Bowl performance by Kendrick Lamar where a Palestinian flag was waved.
In the midst of the chaos at the boxing event, a video surfaced showing Brown struggling in a parking lot as a crowd surged. Gunshots rang out, causing everyone to scatter. He later admitted to “hitting” a security guard, but maintained he didn’t do anything wrong, leading to a warrant for his arrest reported the following month.
It’s worth mentioning, Brown has had a history of legal troubles. In 2019, he faced accusations of rape and sexual misconduct but came to settlements with the victims. He also pleaded no contest to charges of felony assault and theft in 2020, and, more recently in 2023, was arrested over alleged child support issues.
