Antonio Brown was busy earlier this week as he faced an attempted murder charge.
The former NFL wide receiver visited rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine’s Florida home and teamed up with streamer YouTuber Adin Ross.
Brown and 6ix9ine spent hours together at home with Ross and others, where the two even took lie detector tests that showed Brown was lying about regretting his infamous shirtless walk off the MetLife Stadium field in 2022. He told the truth, however, that he still loves Ben Roethlisberger and loved being with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Long before the lie detector tests, Brown, 6ix9ine and Ross were outside the house playing football when fans walked by. Given 6ix9ine’s run-ins with the law and the recent home burglary, everyone was on high alert.
Brown then approached Ross and asked, “No one’s going to make me Charlie Kirk, right?” referring to the assassination of the political commentator in September. 6ix9ine made a similar comment earlier when other fans walked past the house.
Kirk was shot and killed while debating with students at Utah Valley University. He was 31 years old.

Brown was recently extradited from Dubai to the United States to face an attempted murder charge stemming from a May incident at a boxing event hosted by Ross in Miami, where he allegedly shot the same person who waved a Palestinian flag during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show in February.
Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu was arrested in June for resisting an officer and disturbing the peace by disrupting a lawful gathering, 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 moves toward an alley. Then a gunshot rang out, sending onlookers running in the opposite direction.
Brown admitted he “slapped” a person’s security guard. He said he told one of the officers that he didn’t do anything. The Washington Post reported the following month that an arrest warrant had been issued for Brown.
Brown claimed on social media that Nantambu “[tried] to rob me and threaten my life.

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