Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown is ready to make it big in the music industry. Brown recently played his last football game in January and released a music album named ‘Paradigm’ in April 2022. The name Antonio Brown is again trending as he has struck a multi-million dollar deal. This time he has not signed a contract with any NFL franchise but with a famous music streaming platform.

Brown has signed a $5 million deal with the music streaming platform Fwaygo Music. The streaming platform announced on Friday, “A $5 million deal. AB. He’s the face of Fwaygo. Plain and simple. That’s what we’re doing,” the company’s founder says as AB’s ‘Pit Not The Palace’ plays in the background. “Everybody’s wondering what he’s doing after football. He’s doing music.”

The main motive behind this music streaming platform is to help independent artists kick-start their music careers.

Antonio Brown after the announcement of his deal said, “Fwaygo is the first move. Fwaygo is a platform that gives artists an independent opportunity to be able to drop.”

Brown made a shocking move after he took off his uniform in the middle of a game and left the football field while waving to the crowd. Brown’s meltdown happened during Week 17 when Tampa Bay Buccaneers faced New York Jets.

Though Buccaneers won the game by 28-24, they instantly released Brown which proved to be an expensive exit.
