Brown’s behavior has sparkеd widеsprеad condеmnation, lеading Clark to swiftly takе action to protеct hеrsеlf from furthеr harassmеnt. However, Brown, instead of being done with his jabs, takes Clarks’ move to make another controversial post out of it. Screenshotting the notification, AB posted it on his X, writing, “Cracker of the Day #CTESPN Blocked by Cousin It.” Notably, Clark is not the only one who blocked AB. The NFL GOAT, Tom Brady, after putting up with Brown’s antics for so long, finally opted to remove his ex-teammate from his tweet feed.

Brown’s ongoing feud with Tom Brady took a personal turn when he targeted Brady’s ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, through edited memes on his X account. Brown posted a photoshopped meme on April 12th that depicted him alongside Brady and Bündchen in an imaginary gender reveal scenario, where the revealing color was black. Brown captioned it: “Gender reveal gone wild,” fueling speculation about his alleged affair with Bündchen. While he initially accused Bündchen of infidelity during his time in Tampa Bay, neither party has publicly addressed the rumors until now.

Despite Brady’s initial support for Brown during their time together with the Buccaneers, Brown’s controversial behavior eventually led to Brady distancing himself by blocking Brown on social media. However, in response, initially dismissed the situation with laughter before doubling down on his actions, reveling in the attention with a defiant post proclaiming himself the “Black d*ck king.”
Brown’s tendency to create provocative memes extends beyond the NFL realm and even targets political figures like President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. However, the divisive nature of Brown’s posts has garnered criticism not only from Brady and Bündchen but also from President Biden, who has reportedly blocked Brown on Twitter. But for AB, it is just his way to make the NFL community remember his name until he comes back to play again.
