Antonio Brown doesn’t have anything nice to say about Colin Kaepernick as during his recent appearance on ‘Cigar Talk With Naji’, he called the 34-year-old activist “trash” on the field. He went on to slam Kaepernick for agreeing on a settlement with NFL after accusing the league and its officials of conspiring to remove him and Eric Reid from NFL rosters because they knelt during the national anthem in 2016 at NFL games.

Not just that, the 33-year-old football wide receiver also claimed that Kaepernick won’t want to play anymore and questioned his charity work. “He took a deal. We don't feel sorry for you. You took the deal. F**k outta here,” Brown said while expressing his confusion over people empathizing with the former football quarterback.

In a sarcastic way, Brown remarked: “‘Oh, Kaepernick!' Man, you on f***ing Nike, man. F*** outta here,” before continuing, “All that is cap. We ain't respecting that, bro. You took the money, the commercials. We don't see you outside. We don't see him in the hood. He don't do nothing. Like, we cool. But, nah, we ain't even stan Kaepernick.”

“He not even from the hood. He haven't even been in the trenches. We like Kaepernick and all, but we ain't really on that. He built a foundation. What it do, though? I'm being real. What superhero he enforce? Who he put on? Who he help?” he added.

Brown did not stop there, though, as he appeared on ‘This is 50’ and again called out Kaepernick while saying: "He's being treated good. You got [a] Netflix documentary. Don't get it twisted. See that's the wrong thing about the world. We didn't all [think] Kaepernick [was] treated so bad because they don't let him play football, yet they didn't let them play football.”

“It gave him commercials. They gave him money, you know, I'm saying. So we are not trying to tell you nobody's ... I'm just telling you the facts. I'm not trying to tell you none of what they did. I'm telling you the reality of what happened,” the free agent stated.

However, Brown’s statements against Kaepernick seemed to upset many on the internet as a user tweeted: “Kanye vibes.” The second one wrote: “I’m not listening to a dude who gets mad and throws furniture off balconies!! Therapy is a friend.” The third user noted: “He’s off his meds or they aren’t working or he never was on any……..it’s giving me Kanye with the blond hair.”

A person shared, “I feel like he's trying to be famous like in his mind he hasn't made it yet so he's always so extra now.” Another one tweeted: “I question AB on everything that is him. Washed, been washed for awhile now. Can't fix stupid nor crazy.” “Why does anyone give this mental case a forum to talk? He needs a padded room and to get off his own hype train. Literally describing himself…throwing his pads off on the field. What a joke,” tweet read.
