Antonio Brown kept busy earlier this week while facing an attempted murder.
The former NFL wide receiver visited rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine’s Florida home and connected with YouTuber streamer Adin Ross.
Brown and 6ix9ine spent hours together at the home of Ross and others, with the two even taking lie detector tests that showed Brown lied about regretting his infamous shirtless exit from the MetLife Stadium field in 2022. However, he told the truth that he still likes Ben Roethlisberger and enjoyed being with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Well before the lie detector tests, Brown, 6ix9ine and Ross were outside the home playing pickup football as fans drove by. Given 6ix9ine’s run-ins with the law and the recent home burglary, everyone was on high alert.
Brown then turned to Ross and asked, “No one wants to Charlie Kirk me, right?” referring to the political commentator’s murder in September. 6ix9ine made a similar comment earlier as other fans drove by the home.
Kirk was shot and killed while debating college students at Utah Valley University. He was 31 years old.

Brown was recently extradited from Dubai to the United States to face charges of attempted murder stemming from an incident in May at a boxing event organized by Ross in Miami in which he allegedly shot the same person who waved a Palestinian flag during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime in February.
Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu was arrested in June on charges of resisting an officer and disturbing the peace by disrupting a lawful assembly, revealing a connection between the shooting and the Super Bowl.
A video showed Brown appears to be fighting in a parking lot as a crowd moved toward an alley. Then a shot seemed to ring out, sending onlookers running in the opposite direction.
Brown admitted to “beating” someone’s security guard. He said he told one of the officers he hadn’t done anything. The Washington Post reported the next month that a warrant had been issued for Brown’s arrest.
Brown claimed on social media that Nantambu “[tried] to steal from me and threaten my life.”

The former NFL star has had several legal problems in the past. He was sued in 2019 over allegations of rape and sexual misconduct, which he eventually settled with his accuser. He pleaded no contest to felony and burglary charges in June 2020. Brown was arrested again in 2023 on charges of unpaid child support.
