Antonio Brown has recently released his first album entitled ‘Paradigm’. The album was released on the 20th of April or famously known as 4/20. AB started working on his album ever since he left the MetLife Stadium during his Week 17 game against the New York Jets after a sideline meltdown.

Kanye West has helped the former highest-paid WR in the NFL to make his debut in the music industry. And now that his album has been liked by many, AB feels excited about his second project. During his most recent appearance on the CigarTalk Podcast, AB also poked fun at Shaquille O’Neal’s rap career.
Antonio Brown on Shaquille O’Neal as a rapper
“I’m just breaking the mold like a Shaquille O’Neal,” Brown said. “Shaquille O’Neal… he was kind of goofy too, being honest.” Brown on one hand aims to achieve more like Shaq, whose album ‘Shaq Diesel’ received a platinum certificate from the RIAA. However, he also calls him “goofy” as a raper.
O’Neal also featured in Michael Jackson’s song ‘2 Bad’, as a guest rapper.
Though having received that much of a spotlight, many criticized the outset of his rapping abilities. And AB was no different. It was clear that AB wants to make a mark in his own way.

AB has a message for everyone
“Like I’m not saying I’m him, but I’m not them,” he added. “I’m just giving people the opportunities to, you know, be in free space and do whatever is best for them. I’m not saying everyone’s gonna be a rapper. To me. I’m just saying, ‘Be your best.’ So, have a goal. Not let anyone tell you what you can’t do. And I could do that.”
It was clear that Antonio Brown is serious about his rapping career when he revealed it so in the podcast. However, he still remains resilient in his approach to return to the NFL again. However, the question persists if anyone would bet on him after all the drama that unfolded with the Bucs?
