MIAMI, FLORIDA: Former NFL star Antonio Brown ignited fresh controversy this week after making a remark referencing the fatal shooting of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk during a livestream at the Florida home of rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine.
Brown was recently extradited from Dubai to the United States over an attempted murder charge he faces related to a May incident at a Miami boxing event hosted by streamer Adin Ross.
Antonio Brown, Tekashi 6ix9ine and Adin Ross link up amid ongoing legal drama
Antonio Brown and Tekashi 6ix9ine spent several hours filming content at the rapper’s home, where they took lie detector tests, played pickup football, and interacted with fans who drove by the property.
The day’s footage showed Brown joking around but also addressing lingering questions about his NFL controversies. A lie detector test indicated he was lying about regretting his infamous shirtless exit from MetLife Stadium in 2022, but it also showed he was telling the truth about still liking Ben Roethlisberger and enjoying his time with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The atmosphere changed when multiple cars slowed down near the home, a sensitive issue given 6ix9ine’s history of legal confrontations and a recent break-in at the residence.
Antonio Brown faces backlash after joking about Charlie Kirk’s killing
While outside with Adin Ross and Tekashi 6ix9ine, Antonio Brown approached the streamer and asked, “No one’s gonna Charlie Kirk me, right?” The remark referenced Kirk’s fatal shooting in September during a campus event at Utah Valley University, where the conservative activist was shot while debating students. He was 31.
A similar comment had been made by 6ix9ine earlier in the day when fans drove by.
The reference instantly drew criticism online, with viewers calling it inappropriate and insensitive given the high-profile nature of Kirk’s killing and the ongoing investigation surrounding it.
Antonio Brown’s attempted murder case adds new layers to the controversy
Antonio Brown’s comment came just days after he was extradited to the US to face attempted murder charges tied to a May incident at a boxing event hosted by Adin Ross in Miami. Authorities allege Brown fired at the same man who had waved a Palestinian flag during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show in February.
The shooting gained traction after footage circulated showing Brown in a heated confrontation in a parking lot moments before a gunshot sent crowds fleeing. Brown admitted he had “slammed” a security guard earlier that night but denied involvement in the shooting.
Investigators later connected the incident to Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, who was arrested in June for disrupting the Super Bowl performance. Brown defended himself online, writing that Nantambu “[tried] to steal from me and threaten my life.”
A long history of legal troubles follows Antonio Brown
Antonio Brown, once considered one of the NFL’s most talented receivers, has faced repeated legal challenges over the years. He was sued in 2019 by his former trainer for sexual misconduct; the two sides reached a settlement in 2021. Brown pleaded no contest to felony battery and burglary in 2020. He was also arrested in 2023 for unpaid child support.
This latest controversy adds to a rapidly growing list of incidents that have overshadowed Brown’s athletic career, raising new concerns about the former Pro Bowler’s future both legally and publicly.
