A man has claimed that he was involved in a scuffle with Antonio Brown at a recent boxing event hosted by Adin Ross in Miami, and that the former NFL star shot at him during the incident.
As reported by TMZ, Zül-Qarnaįn Nantambu claimed that he was part of the incident at the event, which was caught on video and appeared to show Brown getting jumped. "His story is a half-truth," said Nantambu. "He is a liar. I've been knowing AB since 2021. I have judgment against AB for 180, and why would I even damage that... If you watch the video, everybody was attacking me. Three versus one."
He said that he was at the event to support one of the boxers, but claimed that Brown tried to swing on him when they ran into each other. Nantambu explained that he has a history with Brown, who he alleged tried to defraud him in the past even though he helped him out when he almost got detained in Dubai.
"He went, got a gun, shot wildfire," he said. "We fight. He shot at me twice. They got children out there selling candy, bro. He could've hit one of them kids. He runs into me after shooting me. We tussling for the gun, fighting for the gun, all over the ground. ... Police out there, bro!"
Nantambu called out the former NFL player and occasional rapper for having "the audacity" to say he plans to press charges. "AB, your days are numbered," he concluded. "However you want to take that. Not that your days are numbered in life, but the days of the ignorant, wild, foolish, reckless way of living cannot sustain you. You cannot be in society living like this, 'cause you're gonna harm somebody. You're gonna harm yourself. You have children, man! Have some decency about yourself. Get some help."
Brown addressed the incident in a tweet and denied that he was arrested after videos showed him being taken away in handcuffs. "I was jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me," he wrote. "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."
Brown said that he will be speaking to his legal representatives and is considering "pressing charges" against those responsible.
