Alleged victim of Antonio Brown shooting breaks silence and reveals years-long feud
Zül-Qarnain Nantambu claims Antonio Brown attacked him over a long-standing dispute (Image via AP) Former NFL star Antonio Brown is once again at the center of a legal storm—this time, involving an alleged shooting that has prompted Florida authorities to issue a warrant for his arrest on attempted murder charges. The controversy deepened after the alleged victim, Zül-Qarnain Nantambu, came forward with shocking allegations that trace the conflict back years. A celebrity boxing event turns violent as old feud reignites The incident occurred in mid-May during a celebrity boxing match hosted by social media personality Adin Ross under his Brand Risk Promotions banner. According to multiple reports, what started as a confrontation quickly spiraled into a violent brawl—and then, gunfire. Zül-Qarnain Nantambu, who spoke publicly for the first time in an interview with TMZ Live, claims the run-in with Brown wasn't random. 'That's when the attack happened,' Nantambu stated, referring to their encounter at the event. He alleged that after confronting Brown about a years-old dispute over stolen jewelry, Brown became physically aggressive. A long-standing personal dispute may have triggered the attack Nantambu says their history goes back to an encounter in Dubai during a Floyd Mayweather fight. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cervecería Nacional CFD: Calcula cuánto podrías ganar invirtiendo solo $100 Empieza a invertir Inscríbete ahora Undo There, he alleges Brown stole jewelry from him, leading to a legal battle. 'A judge ruled in my favor,' Nantambu claimed, although he did not provide court documents to verify this. Fast forward to May 16, when the two men reportedly crossed paths again. What followed, according to Nantambu, was an all-out assault. He claims Brown landed the first punch, after which several members of Brown's entourage joined in. Gunfire, injuries, and a fugitive NFL icon Witnesses and law enforcement accounts support much of Nantambu's story. Reports state that in the chaos, Brown allegedly grabbed a security officer's gun and fired at Nantambu. One bullet reportedly grazed Nantambu's neck, and he later required stitches for a gash near his eyelid. Despite the seriousness of the charges, Brown appears unfazed. He recently posted an Instagram photo of himself smiling and riding a bicycle—just hours after news broke of the arrest warrant. The gesture struck many as a deliberate taunt.

As the investigation continues, the public—and the authorities—await his next move.
