Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown took to Twitter to mess with Raiders fans with a video message.

Brown captioned his tweet: “I owe the Raider Fans……. ❤️🆙🔥👈🏾👉🏾👈🏾👉🏾👉🏾👈🏾👉🏾👉🏾👉🏾👉🏾👉🏾👈🏾👉🏾👉🏾👉🏾”

In the video, he had a lighter in hand holding it to his old Raiders jersey, and two notes saying: “Thanks for wasting my money.”

Let’s rewind a bit: Brown was traded from the Steelers to the Raiders back in 2019, with the Steelers getting a 3rd and 5th round pick in return.

However, before he even step onto the field for a single real game, the Raiders cut him due to a multitude of issues.

During his brief stint with the Raiders, Brown made headlines for all the wrong reasons.

From his insistence on wanting to use a banned helmet, to claims of frostbitten feet, he managed to stir the pot both on and off the field.

Most notably, he got into a heated verbal altercation with the team’s general manager, Mike Mayok, during which he used a derogatory term, “Cracker”, and had to be restrained by his teammates. Mayock later fined him $54,000 as a result.

Despite being recognized as one of the best wide receivers in league history, Brown has been out of the NFL for two seasons and counting, and it is very, very unlikely he’ll ever come back.

Brown was last seen in the NFL, taking his uniform off during a Bucs-Jets game in 2021 and running off the field.

Nowadays, he spends most of his time trolling NFL fans with weird antics like the one in that video.
