“Antonio Brown’s Controversial Outburst: Is This Racist Rant Against Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift a Desperate Bid for Fame?”
The 36-year-old’s comments were coldly received by netizens, who were quick to point out Brown’s own career pitfalls and current financial situation, which led him to file for bankruptcy midway through 2024 despite earning millions of dollars in his career.
“Antonio Brown made 80 million from the NFL over 12 years. In May of this year, he filed bankruptcy, saying he only had $50K in assets,” one reader wrote. “He mentions Swift & Kelce to try to gain attention.”

Brown, who has faced multiple accusations of abusive behavior towards women, went after Kelce just after the Chiefs’ victory, which only made his comments seem even pettier.
“He is a waste of talent. He doesn’t pay child support; he has six kids, and he has multiple arrests. He had the world delivered to him and ruined it,” one fan noted, referencing how, in October 2023, Brown was arrested in Florida on a warrant for outstanding child support payments.
Wiltrice Jackson, the mother of his eldest daughter, said to TMZ that the player owed her over $30,000 in child support.

The comment also mentions the arrest warrant issued against Brown in December 2022 for an alleged incident of domestic violence. The Tampa Police Department explained that the wide receiver was arguing with a woman at his residence when the disagreement escalated and became violent.
