In the Tweet, AB showed a check written from Secure The Bag Record Label. The amount of the check is $150,000. While the check showed a large sum of money, it also revealed AB’s personal information, which made the fans supercritical.
You may want to cover the account and routing number at the bottom of the check 🤦🏻♀️

Helpful hint, just trying to help…you might want to hide your bank number and routing number on the check and deposit slip. Someone might hack it.

Not all fans were nice enough to instruct the 34-year-old about being responsible. Some blatantly tried to offer a reality check to the athlete-turned-rapper.
Fans continue to roast Antonio Brown
Some fans found the amount too low. And rightfully so. The Pittsburgh Steelers whipped up a contract for him. Antonio Brown received a new four-year, $68 million contract from the Pittsburgh Steelers after a couple of years of complaining about his compensation. Brown became the highest-paid receiver in the NFL because of the $19 million signing bonus contained in the contract. After accumulating 6,300 yards and 53 touchdowns over the previous four seasons, AB deserved it.
Reminiscing that, fans compare it to the $150,000 check.

Come on, man. If by “Rap”, you mean “Wrap”, then I believe it. I can help, though. What do you charge to wrap Christmas presents, this year? pic.twitter.com/UV1b1c7sD1

A record label sued AB
The record label that wrote the check to Brown, Secure The Bag (STB), sued the former receiver.
