The life of former NFL star Antonio Brown has taken a drastic turn with the number of controversies he finds himself in. From the Tampa Bay Buccaneers game that Brown left early, to the sexual assault allegation from his former trainer Brittany Taylor, Brown has come under a lot of negative attention and criticism. After his infamous exit as a pro footballer, he now has the status of an owner with his acquisition of the National Arena League team, the Albany Empire. 

But as AB continues with his new venture in life, he finds himself in the midst of another controversy, this time involving his family and kid.

According to a recent article by TMZ Sports, AB once again finds himself in a new controversy. A Miami- Dade County judge has issued an arrest warrant to cops to put AB in jail over unpaid child support. According to the reports, Brown had allegedly evaded child support payments he was legally required to make to his ex-wife, Wiltrice Jackson, for their daughter.

But AB recently posted a photo of the $33,260 receipt claiming that he has paid what was required to Florida Child Support. Brown can be free from custody, given he pays $30,000, which is to be a part of his child support. Brown has a daughter named Antaniyah with Jackson, whom he dated during his early days in the NFL with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He is the father to six children, whom he shares with different partners.

During a news conference in Albany in March, they made an announcement making AB a part owner of the team along with Mike Kwatra, Charlotte, and Steve von Schiller. But a few days later, he went on to declare that he has complete ownership of the team. Kwatra stated that he and Brown own 47.5 percent of the team each, and the other two members hold the other 5 percent. But a recent report suggests that AB will move on to become the major owner of the Albany Empire. Kwatra sold his shares to Brown, making him the 95 percent owner while Charlotte and Schiller still retained their 5 percent.

The question that remains is if this is the last of the controversies we hear about AB. Or will something or the other come up in the near future once again? While Brown looks focused to make Albany great again, the probable future is unpredictable at the moment.
