Former NFL receiver Antonio Brown always finds time for controversy. The 35-year-old loves life in the fast lane and expects no day to be quiet. Rather, he welcomes turbulence to spill over the banks at top speed. It’s hard to imagine Brown staying out of the headlines, sometimes for his antics, sometimes for his loose conversations and disparaging comments.
The former Steelers player will likely spend more time with his lawyers this season than making music or watching football. This comes after a company that shaped his rap career filed another lawsuit against the retired NFL star.

A Wisconsin-based company has filed a lawsuit in Broward County, Florida, against the former football player and current rapper for allegedly not paying them for services already rendered. The company is seeking $28,000 in compensation after Brown verbally agreed several months ago to have Avanti Solutions work on his performance at a hip-hop concert in Los Angeles. CAB Records, a company owned by Antonio Brown has also been named in the lawsuit.

Avanti Solutions claim that the work was completed from their end, but Antonio Brown failed to make the payments, despite repetitive attempts were made asking him for payments. The lawsuit also mentions that Brown has been a regular offender when it comes to non-payment to vendors in the past.
The anticipated trial date is set for December, but a video hearing is scheduled for August 08 in Broward County, Florida. That means Brown’s attorneys have a limited amount of time to make their case and get it knocked down.

Antonio Brown & Lawsuits: A Never-ending Story
Antonio Brown has long faced instances of default, both during his time as a player in the NFL and now as a performer. He last played in the NFL in 2021. In October 2022, a Broward County jury ordered Brown to pay $1.2 million to a truck driver. It was alleged that Brown had assaulted him in 2020 for failure to pay moving expenses. He was also charged with burglary and assault.

The 35-year-old former NFL player is scheduled to appear Aug. 25 in Broward County for a hearing in another lawsuit. He is accused of selling a Sarasota man a luxury watch worth $4 million for $1.6 million. It later turned out the watch was a fake and was purchased by Brown himself for $500. First a three-worded bomb on Twitter, and now a fresh lawsuit filed against the former Steelers and Bucs star. His short stint as team owner could also land him in some legal hot water. Will this bad boy image hurt Antonio Brown in the days ahead, or will he manage to laugh off the current litigation situation as he has often done in the past?
