Ex-NFL star Antonio Brown attacks Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce on social media

Antonio Brown is at it again. 

The former NFL wide receiver took to X this weekend in an attempt to stir up some attention and took a shot at none other than Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. 

While Kelce was busy breaking the Kansas City Chiefs’ team record for most career receptions, Brown launched a vile attack against the all-pro and his global superstar girlfriend. 

Brown suggested a racist and misogynistic reason for Kelce’s early season slump on the social media platform. 

WARNING: Explicit language

“Travis Kelce needs some black p****,” Brown wrote on X. “Bro washed #CTESPN.” 

For the second straight game, Swift wasn’t in attendance to watch Kelce play after being spotted at the Chiefs’ first two games of the season in Kansas City. 

Her absence has stirred rumours that the couple’s relationship has run its course, although several outlets including TMZ and the Daily Mail report that is untrue. 

The Chiefs’ game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday came a day after an alleged “breakup date” that appeared in a fake “leaked” contract of the couple’s relationship last month. 

This isn’t the first time that Brown has set his sights on Swift, either. 

After having targeted Gisele Bundchen — the ex-wife of former teammate Tom Brady — in the past, Brown posted an AI-generated picture of himself in a Pittsburgh Steelers uniform kissing Swift, who was wearing a blue cheerleader outfit. 

“Move over Jizelle, what these Swifties talkin bout? #CTESPN,” he wrote alongside the image on X earlier this year, which has since been deleted. 

In July, Brown also posted a satirical photo of what Kelce and Swift will look like in 2040. 

Earlier this year, Kelce had actually said that Brown was one of his favorite people to follow on social media. 

When Kelce broke the record for most post-season receptions during the Chiefs playoff run, Brown called the tight end one of the “dopest crackers” he knows. 

During an episode of Kelce’s New Heights podcast with his brother Jason Kelce, the retired Philadelphia Eagles centre said that Brown’s post was “probably the biggest compliment.” 

“I appreciate you AB, man. Feels good to be one of the dopest crackers,” Travis said while laughing. “I love that s***. He’s one of my favorite follows on Twitter, you’ve got to follow him.”
