Cam Newton experienced several emotions when he reacted to Antonio Brown’s shooting incident in Miami last week. This led to the police detaining the former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver.
Video footage collected from the scene of the skirmish revealed guns going off in the background and people fleeing to save themselves. Brown also fought against another man who allegedly tried to steal his chain.
Later, police took Brown away. He live-streamed from Adin Ross’s crib and later tweeted about taking legal action against the individuals who jumped him from behind during the fight.
I was jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me. Contrary to some videos circulating, Police temporarily detained me until they received my side of the story and then released me. I WENT HOME THAT NIGHT AND WAS NOT ARRESTED.

Newton found the entire situation very confusing. To his knowledge, Brown is infamous for not being a reliable source. The former NFL MVP called Brown a ‘total crashout’ in the latest episode of his ‘4th and 1 podcast.’
[We know] Antonio Brown is a certified crash out… But when you start hearing from the opposition, his side don’t make it any better because I hear them tires screeching again.

Why did Cam Newton find it hard to believe in Antonio Brown?
Newton and Brown share a long history of facing off on the football field and later on social media. They know each other very well, and the reason for doubting Brown is simple: the individual who confronted the 36-year-old revealed his side of the story.

Zül-Qarnaįn Nantambu identified himself as the one who exchanged blows with Antonio Brown in the viral clip. Nantambu told TMZ that Brown fired a couple of gunshots in a crowded area among kids. He thanked the Almighty after escaping by just a whisker.
The dispute began over a valuable pendant, which Brown attempted to take without ensuring that he would ever return it in the future.
Now, Nantambu has another identity, which Newton discovered after his co-host Peggy showed him a clip from the Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans earlier this year. In the clip, Nantambu ran onto the field during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime performance and raised a pro-Palestinian slogan after standing on top of a black vehicle.

This made Newton glitch. If there were doubts regarding Brown’s side of the story, Nantambu’s revelation and the information on his background muddied the water even more.
If you are willing to do what you are willing to do, no matter if you are right or wrong, and it’s a protest or whatever, you wait. The clash of two crashes out happens, and we don’t know who to believe.
Cam Newton said
Fans are still waiting to see how the story progresses in the future. Interestingly, Brown went into complete radio silence after the incident. He didn’t tweet for a week until a video from his gym workout went viral.
After barely completing the chest press, Brown got up from the bench, but something heavy fell on his head. It’s unclear what happened afterward because the video cut right after the metal hit Brown’s head.

Apparently, the footage is six years old. It happened the same year Brown lifted his first and only Super Bowl ring playing alongside Tom Brady at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He played eight games, caught 45 passes for 483 yards, and scored four touchdowns that season. A year later, Brown disappeared from football and hasn’t stepped back onto it.
