The recent extradition and arrest of former NFL star Antonio Brown on an attempted murder charge has ignited a media firestorm, one that the liberal press is all too eager to fuel without providing the full, complex context of the situation. It is crucial to remember that Brown is a public supporter of President Donald J. Trump, having taken the stage alongside former teammate Le’Veon Bell at a massive rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, to endorse the America First agenda. During his remarks, Brown demonstrated a clear-eyed view of the political divide, telling the crowd, “I know the media is going to call me crazy, me and Trump crazy, for having me speaking here. But I want to make this clear: we are not. They are.” He then pointed to the insanity of the left’s policies, stating, “You know, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, do you really know they want to put tampons in the boy’s bathroom? Is that crazy? That’s really insane, right?” This alignment with President Trump makes him a prime target for a media apparatus that relentlessly attacks the President’s supporters.
The incident in question stems from a May altercation at a celebrity boxing event in Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood, where Brown allegedly pulled a gun on Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, a leftist performer known for waving a Palestinian flag during a Super Bowl halftime show. While the mainstream media rushes to paint Brown as the sole aggressor, they conveniently omit the alleged victim’s own troubling history and the circumstances that led to the confrontation. Brown has consistently maintained that he was acting in self-defense, arguing he was “jumped” by Nantambu. In his own account of the events, Brown has labeled Nantambu a “fraud, liar, stalker & criminal,” and revealed a deeper, more troubling pattern of harassment.
According to Brown, this was not an isolated incident, but the culmination of a prolonged campaign against him. He stated, “He was arrested in 2022 for stealing 6 figures of jewelry from me. He then showed up at my show at rolling loud in 2023 trying to assault me.” Brown further claimed that the May confrontation occurred because Nantambu “snuck into a gate at the event and came right up to me trying to steal from me and threaten my life.” This narrative of a repeated and escalating threat is critical to understanding the event, yet it is largely dismissed or buried by a press corps more interested in a sensational headline about a Trump-supporting athlete than in a balanced presentation of the facts.
That guy is a fraud, liar, stalker & criminal
He was arrested in 2022 for stealing 6 figures of jewelry from me

The liberal media’s gleeful coverage of Brown’s legal troubles stands in stark contrast to their often sympathetic treatment of left-wing activists arrested for violent acts. Their focus is not on justice, but on scoring political points by tarnishing a figure associated with President Trump. They ignore the principle of self-defense and the right to protect one’s life and property, values that are foundational to the American spirit and fiercely defended by the Trump administration. As this case develops, it is imperative to view the media’s narrative with extreme skepticism and demand a full airing of all evidence, including the alleged victim’s own criminal background and his documented history with Antonio Brown.
