Antonio Brown has once again attacked his ex-friend and teammate Tom Brady in a social media rant.
The 35-year-old, who won a Super Bowl alongside Brady with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, branded the future Hall of Famer ‘selfish’ after a fan claimed he helped save his career.
Brown replied to a tweet of a video that showed Brady discussing building a winning mentality. In the clip the retired quarterback claimed he had played alongside some selfish players and the user who shared the clip suggested Brady was ‘dissing that clown Antonio Brown.’
The wide receiver hit back, suggesting the seven-time Super Bowl winner was the selfish one, who only wanted to pad out his stats.
‘Ask anyone is Tom Brady selfish bro want stats too you think he like Payton manning or you think he didn’t play longer then drew Brees to past his stats ok ima let the crackers thinks it’s me when I’m coming off the bench to help his team win,’ he wrote, quote tweeting the clip.

However, several fans fired back with one claiming that Brady tried to save Brown’s career.
‘He tried multiple times to save ur career and opened up his home to you, he rocked w/ you when nobody else was and you made him a fool for it. This is how you end up w/ nobody on your side in life,’ they posted.
But Brown only launched into yet another rant, this time claiming he dominated the game throughout his career.
He replied: ‘How you gone save a guy career who dominated the game his whole career! aB took hisself out the game I ain’t buying that s**t u selling! U sound like a cracker trying to make it seem like you did so much for me whole time you using me for your purpose once fulfilled just like a cracker say your Done.’
Brady had encouraged the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to acquire the embattled Brown in 2020 amid accusations of 𝑠e𝑥ual assault and harassment, which he has since settled out of court. He even allowed Brown to stay with him in preparation for the season.
A year earlier, Brady had pushed for the New England Patriots to sign Brown, only to have the team cut him after one game when the 𝑠e𝑥ual misconduct allegation first surfaced.
Yet, this isn’t the first time Brown has attacked his former teammate with the troubled star continuously blaming Brady for the end of his career.
Brown hasn’t played since his infamous shirtless mid-game exit against the New York Jets in January 2022.

Since then, he has regularly taken aim at the recently retired Brady on several platforms, including social media and podcasts, such as an episode of ‘Million Dollaz Worth of Game’ in April of last year.
‘Now when we get the ring in 2021, the next year I’m the last guy that signed,’ Brown said. ‘My agent, Ed Wasielewski, is getting called, cursed out by Tom Brady over why is he pushing back for the contract for scraps. Imagine if you heard that, the same guy that brought you in to win a ring, the same agent he told you to hook up with to get the deal, is not telling me, the guy’s calling him, saying, yo, cursing him out about scraps of a contract.’
When asked for clarification, Brown summed up Brady’s message to Wasielewski: ‘Why you not taking this deal?’
Back in June, speaking on Tyreek Hill’s It Needed To Be Said podcast, Brown explained Brady hyped him up as he struggled with an ankle injury prior to the final game of his career.
‘Tom called me like ‘Yo this week man the Jets man, they sweet man imma hit you with like 10 to 12 [targets]
‘That’s all I need to hear like ‘yo you gonna throw me the ball,’ this is like me saying like I got a new crib like you know me, you know what I’m saying.
‘Tom Brady done hit me up like ‘yo this a big week,’ so I’m like f—k it. I know my s***’s f***** up, but if he’s going to f*** with me like that, why not?’

Though, Brown only had five targets through almost three quarters. Which seemed to bring the former Central Michigan standout to boiling point.
‘You don’t want to throw me the ball and you making me like I’m crazy, so, I was like, ‘I’m crazy? F*** all you motherf******, I’m out of here.’
Brown also antagonized Brady over his divorce from supermodel Gisele Bundchen in 2022.
He has frequently posted doctored photos, playfully suggesting that he’s having a romantic relationship with Brady’s ex.
