Former NFL star Antonio Brown is facing attempted murder charges in the Miami shooting case, which has led to the end of his high-profile friendship with Tom Brady. Brown, 37, was extradited from Dubai to the US and is currently awaiting trial. Brown is accused of grabbing a handgun from a security staffer after a celebrity boxing match on May 16 and firing two shots at a man he had gotten into a fistfight with earlier. The victim, Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, told investigators that one of the bullets grazed his neck. Sources close to the situation revealed that Brown's friendship with Tom Brady, his former teammate and NFL icon, has come to an end due to the shooting incident. Despite Brown's past taunts, including teasing Brady about his divorce from Gisele Bundchen, Brady had initially stood by him. However, the friendship soured in 2024 after Brown apologized to Brady for his behavior, stating that he had 'nothing but the utmost respect' for him. However, sources claim that Brady had grown tired of Brown's negative behavior and felt that he needed to distance himself. An insider told the Daily Mail that Brady had been supportive of Brown for many years, but had finally reached his breaking point. 'Tom looked after Antonio for so long and supported him through many of his ups and downs, but once Antonio started talking more about Tom in a negative way, Tom continued to take the high road but eventually decided it was time to end their friendship,' the insider said. As for Brady, he has remained silent on the matter, with no public comments made on Brown's arrest. Brown, on the other hand, is currently awaiting trial and is facing serious consequences for his actions.
