Antonio Brown has broken his silence after he was seen getting jumped outside a boxing event hosted by Adin Ross in Miami this weekend.

Clips that circulated on social media on Friday (May 16) appear to show the former NFL star being jumped by a group of men. In the footage, AB is seen getting some punches in himself as well as kicking an alleged security guard after he fell.

Some of the clips, which show the incident from different angles, allegedly show the ex-Pittsburgh Steeler holding a gun while shots are heard ringing out.

Brown would later appear on Ross' livestream despite reports he was arrested.

"You can't take him down! You can't take down AB!" Ross shouts as AB daps up a number of people in the room. "You look like a bad ass, though," Ross added.

Hours after reports circulated that Brown was taken away in handcuffs, he took to X, formerly Twitter, to explain what happened, denying that he was arrested.

"I was jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me," he wrote. "Contrary to some video circulating, Police temporarily detained me until they received my side of the story and then released me. I WENT HOME THAT NIGHT AND WAS NOT ARRESTED."

The retired athlete now plans on keeping his followers aware "step-by-step" on his process. "I will be talking to my legal council and attorneys on pressing charges on the individuals that jumped me," he added.

Ross would later livestream a recap of the jumping, saying that it wasn't "cool."

In partnership with Kick, Ross hosted nine boxing matches that included appearances from the Island Boys and Rae Sremmurd's Slim Jxmmi.
