Since retiring from the NFL, Antonio Brown has done anything but fade into the background.

The former NFLer caused yet another stir on social media Monday after posting a screenshot of private messages allegedly between himself and singer Keyshia Cole – and the texts weren’t the most controversial part.

Among the messages was a half-naked photo purportedly of the singer showing off an “AB” tattoo on her back while in bed.

It’s unclear when the Instagram messages were sent, but Brown and Cole briefly dated in 2022 and the hip-hop singer currently is in a relationship with rapper Hunxho.

While it hasn’t been confirmed that Cole sent the messages in question, the username ‘keyshiacole’ is visible at the top of the screenshot.

“U want me change wording? Love u know it’s (all) respect love,” Brown wrote with a heart emoji in the alleged DM exchange. “No hate here. Want (to) meet your son one day if possible.”

“No. If that’s how u feel,” the other account responded. “My love ain’t gonna change. No n**** seen me since we met. And that ain’t gone change either.”

“Miss u miss me,” Brown wrote back. “U telling your phone tell me.”

Cole’s purported account then sent the risque photo and wrote: “I f***ing love you. And I ain’t hiding it. So what. I don’t care who KNO.”

Brown posted the exchange with the caption “KC Day” and it had been viewed more than 760,000 times as of Tuesday morning.

This isn’t the first time that the former couple has had social media drama.

In 2022, Brown posted a video of Cole showing off her tattoo with a caption that read, “You Ain’t Pimpin Until You Hit An RnB Diva. #FreeAgent #KeepPimpin.”

Cole was upset with the caption, expressing as much in an Instagram Live clip.

“It was a little harsh,” Cole said while talking with celebrity stylist EJ King, according to video captured by The Shade Room.

“Maybe he doesn’t know that it was a little harsh for him to say that. Even me speaking to him, he was like, ‘Do you want me to change the caption?’ And I was like no, ‘I don’t want you to change the caption.’”

Brown has been incredibly outspoken on social media in the past few years. He recently set his sights Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, launching a vile attack last September against the all-pro and his global superstar girlfriend.

Brown suggested a racist and misogynistic reason for Kelce’s early season slump.

WARNING: Explicit language

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

Brown also has taken numerous shots at former Tampa Bay Buccaneers teammate Tom Brady and the star QB’s ex-wife, Gisele Bundchen.
