Zul-Qarnain Kwame Natambuj, arrested Kendrick Lamar Super Bowl performer, was shot at by Antonio Brown
'We take any attempt to disrupt any part of an NFL game, including the halftime show, very seriously and are pleased this individual will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law,' NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said in a statement.
On February 9, during Lamar's Super Bowl LIX halftime show at the Caesars Superdome, Nantambu, hired as an extra performer, disrupted the performance by running across the field with a Sudanese flag. The Louisiana State Police (LSP) arrested him on Thursday, charging him with resisting an officer and disturbing the peace by interruption of a lawful assembly, per a press release.
Nantambu, authorized to be on the field, deviated from his role, ignored security commands, and was apprehended after a chase. He surrendered after an arrest warrant was issued and was booked into the Orleans Parish Justice Center, authorities said. Antonio Brown Shooting Incident
On May 16,, Nantambu was allegedly shot at by former NFL player Antonio Brown during an altercation outside an amateur boxing event in Miami's Little Haiti neighborhood.
Brown, 36, reportedly grabbed a security guard's handgun and fired two shots at Nantambu after a fistfight, with one bullet grazing his neck. Nantambu told The New York Post that Brown thought he'd 'get a free kill' under Florida's 'Stand Your Ground' law, citing a prior dispute over a stolen pendant in Dubai in 2022.
The former NFL star now faces a second-degree attempted murder charge, carrying up to 15 years in prison. Brown is yet to respond to the latest revelations.

Giants' defensive line is determined to live up to the hype and high expectations
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Dexter Lawrence set out to quiet the chatter minutes after the first practice of New York Giants training camp. The veteran defensive tackle had already challenged his fellow players not to listen to the outside noise. HT Image 'They want to talk about our D-line and all this,' Lawrence said, 'but we haven't done anything yet.' Linebacker Brian Burns shared the same thought process a few days later, with a little more profanity tossed in, acknowledging what the formidable front looks like on paper. And while adding No. 3 overall pick Abdul Carter to a group already featuring Lawrence, Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux has the potential to make this an elite pass rush, those involved are quick to insist they need to prove it first. "Everything looks good with the names that we have and the potential and this and that," Burns said. 'It's all on us. We can take this as far as we want to go.' Teammate Darius Muasau called it 'the best D-line in the NFL right now," which is lofty praise that can get tossed out there in the dog days of summer with camps in full swing and before any meaningful games are played. Even the exhibition season might not be an indication of what the unit can do. That will get tested in September with the gauntlet of opening at NFC East rivals Washington and Dallas and at home against defending AFC champion Kansas City, followed by then Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers. Coach Brian Daboll, among many others, is looking forward to seeing how Lawrence, free agent signing Roy Robertson-Harris, Thibodeaux, Burns and Carter handle hefty expectations. 'Hype doesn't get you anywhere,' Daboll said this week. 'Action does. So, whatever people think or they say, good or bad, the only thing that really matters is how we go about our business and ultimately producing when it matters.' Even tying for the worst record in the league last season at 3-14 — the 30th-ranked offense shouldered a bigger slice of that blame — only seven teams had more sacks than the Giants' 45. Lawrence set a career high with nine, Burns was next with 8 1/2 and Thibodeaux figures he should have had more than 5 1/2 with so many half-sacks part of his total. 'Probably would've been, you guys can do the math, maybe seven or eight if I were to finish those,' Thibodeaux said. 'Just making sure that I get everything I deserve this year.' Burns noticed a positive change in Thibodeaux at some point last season, which has continued into camp. Defensive coordinator Shane Bowen said Wednesday he routinely shows clips of the 2022 No. 5 pick running to the ball as an example to other players. 'K.T. has impressed me about how he handles himself in the building,' Burns said. 'He gets in early (and) he does his thing. All in all, he flipped that switch last year, so I expect big things from K.T." The organization — and bettors — expect big things from Carter, too. He's a heavy favorite at less than 3-1 on BetMGM Sportsbook to be AP Defensive Rookie of the Year after 12 sacks in 16 games in his final college season at Penn State, during which he also led the NCAA's Football Bowl Subdivision in tackles for loss. 'He's going to be put in positions to succeed, and that's just due to the guys we have on the line,' Burns said. 'Me, Dex, K.T., he's going to have 1 on 1s. He's going to have opportunities to show what he can do.' Bowen, going into his second season running New York's defense, is putting the onus on himself and his staff to find ways to get impact players on the field in the correct situations. That might mean Burns, Thibodeaux and Carter all lining up on an obvious passing down to show what they all can do. 'We've got to make sure we do a good job of finding ways to utilize them,' Bowen said. 'To have three guys that can roll and play and do different things for us, it really opens up the creativity for us." After not participating in all of team drills at practice Wednesday, top receiver Malik Nabers said he was fine and called it part of the plan devised by coaches and trainers. Asked if it was about managing his lingering toe injury, the second-year pro said it was about everything. It's unclear how much, if any, Nabers will play in the preseason opener Saturday at Buffalo. With standout left tackle Andrew Thomas still on the physically unable to perform list and rehabbing to return from surgery in October for a Lisfranc injury in his right foot, James Hudson has been filling in that spot with the first-team offense. That is, until midway through practice Wednesday. Hudson left the field with training staff and did not return. Rookie Marcus Mbow, a fifth-round pick out of Purdue, took over in Hudson's absence. ___ AP NFL:

Jaycee Horn injury: Carolina Panthers' cornerback misses team's practice after car accident
Jaycee Horn, Carolina Panthers' star cornerback, was involved in a car accident on Wednesday morning at the intersection of Mint and Morehead Streets, as reported by a Panthers spokesman. Following evaluation by the Panthers' medical staff, Horn missed the team's joint practice with the Cleveland Browns. However, he was present on the sideline. The incident happened at the corner of Mint Street and Morehead Streets, in the heart of Uptown and not far from the practice fields, while Jaycee Horn was alone in his vehicle. Fortunately, no significant injuries were reported, and no one involved required transport by emergency medical personnel, according to the team's statement. This update brings relief to Panthers fans, as Horn's health is a priority for a team looking to build on his standout 2024 season. Jaycee Horn, the No. 8 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft out of South Carolina, has emerged as one of the league's important cornerbacks. Earlier this offseason, he signed a four-year, $100 million contract extension, with a potential value of up to $108 million. At the time, this deal made him the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL, though he was later surpassed by Derek Stingley Jr. and Sauce Gardner. Horn earned his first Pro Bowl selection after recording 68 combined tackles, a career-high 13 passes defensed, one interception, and his first two career sacks. His coverage skills were exceptional, allowing just a 51% completion percentage as the nearest defender, ranking second among NFL players targeted at least 75 times in 2024. Notably, over four seasons and 37 games, Horn has amassed 153 tackles, 26 passes defensed, and five interceptions. Jaycee Horn's absence from Wednesday's joint practice with the Cleveland Browns is likely a precautionary measure, but it highlights the team's commitment to protecting their star player. With the Panthers set to open their preseason schedule against the Browns on Friday night, featuring a matchup against quarterback Shedeur Sanders, Horn's status will be closely monitored. The Panthers will be eager to see Horn continue with the strong momentum after a breakout 2024 campaign. His ability to lock down opposing receivers and contribute in multiple facets of the game makes him a significant part of Carolina's defensive strategy. As the Panthers prepare for the regular season, Horn's health and performance will be pivotal. His recent contract extension reflects the team's confidence in his ability to anchor their secondary for years to come.
