Ex Patriots' WR Antonio Brown 'Announces' 7th Child ... in the Most Antonio Brown Way Ever

Arrested last year for failure to pay child support, former New England Patriots' receiver Antonio Brown uniquely "announced" he will be a father for the 7th time.

In his prime, Antonio Brown was a prolific receiver. In retirement, he's proving to be just as ... productive.

The split-second New England Patriots' receiver "announced" Wednesday that he will soon be a father for a seventh time. And he did it, of course, in the most Antonio Brown way ever.

Now 35 and far removed from his 11-day, one-game stint with the Patriots in 2019, Brown responded on social media to an unidentified woman holding up a pregnancy test by quoting the extremely insensitive lyrics of a rap song: "(Bleep) it, I'm rich. Let's do it!"

Five years ago Brown played in the season opener for New England and caught a touchdown pass from Tom Brady. He was released the next week, however, after being accused of sexual assault and rape by a physical trainer. He last played in the NFL in 2022 when he infamously stormed off the field at MetLife Stadium and away from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers - shirtless - in the middle of a game.

Last May he briefly owned an indoor team in Albany and unsuccessfully attempted to persuade former Patriots' quarterback Cam Newton to join him. The team essentially kicked Brown out of the league within a month.

Brown's recent actions have ranged from the illegal to the outrageous and everywhere in between. He's been in frequent conflict with friends who have tried to help him (including Brady) and he's been in conflict with everyone else, too, from romantic partners to potential employers to law enforcement officials.

He was arrested in Florida last October for failure to pay $31,000 in child support for his oldest daughter, Antanyiah.
