Ex-NFL star Antonio Brown's viral dig at Patriots owner Robert Kraft rekindles massage parlor scandal
Antonio Brown takes aim at Patriots owner Robert Kraft (Image via AP) Antonio Brown is back in the spotlight not for football, but for stirring controversy. This time, he's taking aim at New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, reopening old wounds tied to Kraft's infamous massage parlor scandal. Brown's sharp jab reminds fans that some stories never fade, especially when grudges run deep. His words hint at a simmering tension still unresolved between the outspoken star and the Patriots' powerful owner. Antonio Brown's viral jab reopens old scars It started with a viral clip from the Massage Championship World Tour, showcasing bizarre techniques that had the internet buzzing. Comedian Theo Von couldn't help himself and tweeted, "Type sh*t." That's when Brown swooped in, turning harmless fun into a loaded moment with a single line, "Where the Robert Kraft special at tho?" The comment wasn't just trolling, it was a deliberate reference to Kraft's 2019 scandal, when he was charged with soliciting prostitution at a Florida massage parlor. Though the charges were eventually dropped after the court ruled the video evidence inadmissible, the episode never really faded from public memory. For Brown, this wasn't new territory. When he was released by the Patriots just 11 days after joining the team following his own off-field allegations, he tweeted in frustration, "Kraft got caught in the parlor AB speculations fired different strokes different folks clearly." Although he later apologized to Kraft on Instagram, this recent comment shows the bitterness hasn't gone away. It's not just about being funny, it's personal. Antonio Brown exposes NFL's double standard Antonio Brown's post revives an uncomfortable truth, while players often face swift backlash and career consequences, powerful owners can walk away from scandal with little damage. For a player like Brown, whose career was derailed by allegations and controversy, the double standard clearly still stings. His latest jab may read like a joke on the surface, but beneath it is a deeper challenge, one aimed at the NFL's culture of power and protection. So, was it just AB being AB? Maybe. But it was also a reminder that while he may be off the field, Antonio Brown hasn't gone silent and he's still willing to say what others won't. And when it comes to unfinished business with New England, clearly, he hasn't forgotten. Also read: Patrick Mahomes steals the spotlight as Tom Brady's Olympic dreams stir speculation

Man involved in Antonio Brown brawl claims ex-NFL star fired gunshots at him... and HE was victim of brutal attack
Antonio Brown has been accused of lying about the shocking brawl he was involved in over the weekend after the controversial ex-NFL star claimed he was simply fighting off attackers who were trying to steal his jewelry. In footage that quickly went viral on social media, Brown was seen fighting with a group of men he later claimed were attempting to rob him and 'cause physical harm to me' outside a boxing event organized by online influencer Adin Ross at Miami's Brand Risk Warehouse on Friday night. The 36-year-old was dragged to the floor by a man who, it later emerged, was a member of security trying to protect him. In the carnage, however, he kicked out at the man. Shortly after, in other clips, Brown re-appeared from behind a car carrying what seemed to be a firearm in his hand. The videos showed him rushing outside before a couple of gunshots were heard, causing panicked bystanders to flee. In another clip that appeared on social media, he could be seen being led out - with his arms behind his back - by a police officer. Zül-Qarnaįn Nantambu, 43, claims he was one of the men seen brawling with Brown outside the boxing event - but he has a completely different version of events. Brown was seen fighting with a group of men (left) whom he later claimed were attempting to rob him, before he appeared to re-appear while carrying what looked like a firearm (right) In an interview with TMZ Sports, Zül-Qarnaįn has alleged that he was actually the victim of the attack after being jumped by the Super Bowl winner and two of his friends, before Brown fired gunshots at him with children nearby. 'He's a liar,' he said about Antonio. 'If you watch the video everybody was attacking me, it was a 3v1. 'The dude with the green hoodie was with AB, the other little Puerto Rico-looking dude that was swinging the bat was with AB, and the rest was Adin's security. The guy that he kicked was Adin's security. All he was doing was pulling him away. 'He tried to swing on me, scratched my neck, and then it just turned into a brawl from there.' Zül-Qarnaįn - a Muslim 'freedom fighter' and self-proclaimed hip-hop artist, fashion designer and filmmaker - claims his feud with Brown goes back three years after the former New England Patriots star allegedly got him arrested in Dubai back in 2022. He also suggested Brown owes him $180,000 despite not clarifying why. After what he claims was an ambush from Brown and his friends, Zül-Qarnaįn Nantambu alleges the polarizing football player then went and obtained a firearm before unloading in his direction. 'He went got a gun, shot wildfire and we fight,' he continued. 'He shot at me twice, praise be to Allah I wasn't hit. They got children out their selling candy bro. He could've hit one of them kids. WARNING - THIS FOOTAGE CONTAINS EXPLICIT LANGUAGE Antonio Brown with a gun chase down man shots fired!! 😳 — (@VideoMixtape_) May 17, 2025 'He runs into me after he shoots me, we're hustling for the gun, fighting for the gun all over the ground. 'We're holding onto the gun for dear life, we both get up off the ground and then when I look up the police is pointing a gun at us, the sheriff is pointing a gun at us. 'That's when I throw my hands up, he runs inside and that's when they run after him.' has contacted Miami police for comment but officers told TMZ that they responded to a call around 3am and several people were interviewed. No arrests were made and no injuries were reported but the investigation is ongoing. A topless Brown did appear on Ross' social media stream following the incident, when he initially claimed he couldn't remember what happened. 'I blacked out... I don't know what happened,' he said. 'I have CTE,' he added, referring to chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a brain condition that afflicts many former football players. Shortly after, however, Brown discussed his run-in with the cops. 'They tried to take me to the movies,' he said. 'The cop was gripping me up... I'm like: "I didn't do nothing bro..."' He later released a statement on social media. 'Regarding the boxing event that happened last night. I was jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me,' it read. 'Contrary to some video circulating, Police temporarily detained me until they received my side of the story and then released me. I WENT HOME THAT NIGHT AND WAS NOT ARRESTED. 'I will be talking to my legal council and attorneys on pressing charges on the individuals that jumped me. 'I will keep you all posted step-by-step on the process. Thank you for the support and love.' Brown has become infamous in retirement for making controversial statements on social media, attacking the likes of Tom Brady and Caitlin Clark. Ahead of last year's presidential election, he also spoke at a Donald Trump rally.

Antonio Brown Fired Gunshots Outside Adin Ross Boxing Event, Zül-Qarnaįn Says
Zül-Qarnaįn Nantambu says he's the guy on video scuffling with Antonio Brown outside the Adin Ross boxing event in Miami ... and he claims Antonio went to grab a gun and shot at him. Zül-Qarnaįn tells TMZ ... AB squeezed off a couple shots during Friday night's incident, and there were kids around when the former NFL player pulled the trigger. Video appears to show Antonio running through a crowd with a gun in his left hand, and you see him turn a corner and raise his arm before multiple gun shots ring out. Zül-Qarnaįn says AB definitely had a gun in his hand, because he claims they got into a second scuffle and fought over the firearm. Antonio ended up being detained by police and released ... and he says he was fighting off some alleged attempted robbers. Zül-Qarnaįn is calling BS though ... he says the guys in the video fighting him were all on AB and Adin's teams ... and there was no robbery attempt whatsoever. Antonio hasn't addressed the alleged gun but Zül-Qarnaįn is pointing the finger here. These guys have a history, as Zül-Qarnaįn explains ... and he's got a message for AB.
