The notorious former wide receiver and the billionaire rapper became buddies unexpectedly. Kanye West supported Antonio Brown and his budding music career. As much as their friendship blossomed, it also created problems. Ye and the athlete-turned-rapper recently faced criticism for their roles in making inappropriate decisions. And fans did not leave the chance to laugh at their downfall.

Ye and his brand are going downhill. First came the controversial scene where Ye wore a “White Lives Matter” sweatshirt at the YEEZY fashion show. After that, many brands like Balenciaga and Adidas dropped the Grammy-winning rapper because of his anti-Semitic comments. Kanye’s comments against the Jews in an interview and a tweet was insensitive. However, the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR decided to stand by his friend. Brown is the president of Donda Sports, a sports marketing agency that Kanye ‘Ye’ West owns.

Even though the rapper hurt many groups of people, AB defended him in a long Twitter post. “I remain true to the mission of Donda and our amazing staff and community.” Therefore, the statement shows that AB will not step down as the president of the agency. However, famous athletes like Los Angeles Rams Aaron Donald and Boston Celtics Jaylen Brown broke ties with Donda Sports.
Of course, fans saw this opportunity and reacted. They mostly shredded the once highest-paid WR and the former billionaire.
Fans roast Antonio Brown
It seems like Antonio Brown cannot keep himself away from controversies. From starting them themselves (he gets trolled for them, obviously), to getting intertwined into them, the free agent stayed in the news.
This fan seemed opposed to the idea of having AB as any company’s president.
Who hires AB as the president of anything…

This fan commented that Antonio Brown’s name being associated with a company will obviously bare dire consequences.
Youd have thought AB being president would have been red flag enough to just avoid getting involved with it entirely.
