Antonio Brown, the free-agent NFL wide receiver who left the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the middle of a game last season, performed at the Rolling Loud festival in Miami on Saturday night.
Brown has focused on his rap career as he continues to recover from injuries he suffered during his final season with the Buccaneers, and managed to get all the way to Rolling Loud on the same day when top acts like Future, DaBaby, Gucci Mane, Action Bronson and others were slated to perform.
