Antonio Brown was busy this week — even as he faces an attempted murder charge back in the U.S. The former NFL star stopped by rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine’s Florida home and hung out with YouTube streamer Adin Ross. Cameras captured hours of the trio joking, filming, and trying to act normal while Brown’s legal troubles hang over everything.
Brown and 6ix9ine even took lie detector tests. The results showed Brown was lying when he claimed he regretted his infamous shirtless meltdown at MetLife Stadium in 2022. But he told the truth about still liking Ben Roethlisberger and enjoying his Pittsburgh Steelers days.
Before the polygraphs, the group played pickup football outside the house. Fans began driving past, making everyone uneasy given 6ix9ine’s long history of chaos — and the recent break-in at the property. That’s when Brown walked up to Ross and asked, “No one’s gonna Charlie Kirk me, right?”
The reference stunned viewers. Brown was talking about Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated on a rooftop in September while debating college students at Utah Valley University. Tekashi 6ix9ine made a similar remark earlier, clearly rattled as cars slowed near the home.
Brown was recently extradited from Dubai to the U.S. to face an attempted murder charge. Prosecutors say he opened fire at a May boxing event hosted by Ross in Miami. The target was reportedly the same man who waved a Palestinian flag during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show.
That man, Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, was arrested weeks later for resisting an officer and disturbing the peace. Police say his actions tie directly into the chaos surrounding the shooting incident. The case traces back to viral clips showing Brown fighting in a parking lot moments before a gunshot sent crowds running.
Brown later admitted he “slammed” a security guard. He claimed he told police officers he hadn’t done anything wrong. Soon after, a warrant for his arrest was issued, adding yet another layer to a long list of legal headaches.
On social media, Brown insisted Nantambu had “tried to steal from me and threaten my life.” It’s not the first time Brown has used the internet to defend himself as allegations pile up. But the courts — not Instagram — will decide his fate.
Brown’s legal troubles stretch back years. In 2019, he was sued for rape and sexual misconduct and eventually settled the case. He pleaded no contest to felony battery and burglary in 2020, and he was arrested again in 2023 for failing to pay child support.
