Antonio Brown defends disgraced Kanye West as NFL stars cut ties after anti-semetic rant

Divisive former receiver Antonio Brown has defended Kanye West after several NFL and NBA players cut ties to the rapper following his viral anti-semitic comments.

On October 9, West sensationally tweeted he would go ‘death con 3’ on ‘JEWISH PEOPLE’ before claiming Jewish people control the media in an interview released on Monday. As a result, NFL superstar Aaron Donald and Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown decided to sever their ties to West’s Donda Sports Agency.

In the interview with podcast host Lex Fridman, West also blamed Jewish people for his mental health problems and claimed billionaire philanthropist George Soros 'would use the black trauma economy to win an election’. While many have chosen to publicly disassociate themselves with the disgraced rapper, Brown - who hasn’t played in the NFL since storming off the field in 2021 - has defended West.
