On Tuesday, March 19, a social media feud unfolded between Sexyy Red and Antonio Brown after a video surfaced of the musician singing along to WWE legend Shawn Michaels’ theme song. Brown took to Twitter to mock Red with a post featuring an image of individuals covering their noses, accompanied by a derogatory caption.
In response, Sexyy Red insinuated that Brown may have suffered brain damage from his NFL career, highlighting the potential impact of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) caused by repeated head injuries in contact sports.
Red further escalated the exchange by sharing a visual representation contrasting a normal brain with one affected by CTE, emphasizing the cognitive implications of such injuries. Mocking Brown’s mental acuity, she also posted a meme depicting a football player struggling with a cognitive task.
In a seemingly retaliatory move, Brown responded with a suggestive comment, adding a sexual innuendo to the exchange.
In a recent interview with DJ Vlad, Antonio Brown addressed accusations of having CTE, attributing head injuries to the nature of football and questioning the validity of CTE as a detectable condition during a player’s lifetime.
Brown expressed skepticism about the NFL’s handling of head injuries, suggesting that the league may use CTE as a convenient explanation to avoid long-term disability settlements for players post-career. This exchange shed light on the contentious issues surrounding head injuries in sports and the ongoing debate over player safety and accountability.
Last Friday, March 15, Red unveiled her latest solo track titled “Get It Sexyy,” which stands as her first independent release following the Deluxe version of Hood Hottest Princess. The rapper showcased this new song during her performance at Rolling Loud California over the weekend.
