Antonio Brown is taking a break from breaking defenders’ ankles on the field. The Former Steeler is on a different career path right now. A random camera caught Antonio Brown puffing on a ‘foot-long’ blunt at Rapper Gunna’s new strain launch. After the seemingly heavy session, Brown made his way to the stage. Where he performed some of his classics along with new music.

On stage, Brown was in full AB mode. He wishes the audience happy 4/20 and goes off by chanting, “I gotta whole lotta money.” And then someone from the stage starts throwing wads of cash into the crowd. It is definitely a very AB move. His song is called ‘Business is Boomin’ and aptly Brown curated the whole performance around that. During the event, he performed several of his classic numbers.

The former Bucs Receiver recently released his first music album, called ‘Paradigm’ which features artists like Young Thug, DaBaby, and Keyshia Cole amongst others. Brown’s antics and behavior in his previous stints without the NFL have been much less creatively inclined.

Before this professional pivot, whenever Brown found himself outside of the confines of the NFL, he’d seem to land up in trouble. More often than not. So to watch him channel his energies for creative output is a welcome change.

Changing Career Paths With Antonio Brown

AB’s outreach to the league for a comeback has also been much more subtle, by his standards. The receiver-turned-rapper asked his crowd if they wanted to see him go back and play. And the crowd rightfully agreed to watch him on the field again.

Antonio Brown has been one of the most lethal wide receivers in the league. The Super Bowl Champ was on the path to a Hall of Fame career and might still just make it. But his off-the-field antics plus his locker room behavior meant that the difficulties in his career would extend beyond injuries and penalties.

There are very few players in the league who are as talented and as dedicated to the game as AB. But he has definitely slipped and dropped the ball on multiple occasions. His bid to get back to the field is still very much active and aloud. But the number of options has gone even down.

Currently, if you talk to AB, he is looking to join the Dallas Cowboys. It would be a weird combination and a big clash of egos. But if they can get along, AB and America’s team could actually make some noise in the NFC East. Which isn’t big by itself, but still the two might just be the combo that makes headlines in an off-season that has been full of such trades. The Cowboys have stayed silent and pretty much botched the off-season. Such a dynamic move will rise some fire in the locker room. Or worsen things further.
