Former NFL player Antonio Brown has ignited romance rumors with rapper Lil Kim after they were seen getting close at a yacht party in New York over the weekend. The event, hosted by celebrity music manager Big Fendi on Saturday night, saw the pair engaging in intimate interactions.
During Lil Kim’s performance, Brown, the former wide receiver, sat beside her and placed his hand on her buttocks, as shown in a clip he posted on Instagram. "Put that s**t on," he captioned the video. At one point, Brown also placed his face on her breasts, adding to the speculation about their relationship. Later in the night, the duo was spotted locking lips in the VIP section of the party, further fueling rumors.
Lil Kim, known for her hit "Lady Marmalade," has previously been linked to Maino, Scott Storch, and the late rapper Biggie. She shares a 10-year-old daughter, Royal Reign, with rapper Mr. Papers. Brown, on the other hand, most recently dated singer Keyshia Cole. Despite their split, Brown attempted to reconcile with Cole in May, asking her to "come back" in a social media post.
Brown’s social media activity has often landed him in controversy. Last month, he faced backlash for mocking WNBA rookie Caitlin Clark after she scored only 10 points in an Indiana Fever game. Clark, the No. 1 Draft pick, had been left off Team USA for the Paris games, leading her to tell her coach that the Olympic committee "woke a monster" by excluding her. Brown's post on X, formerly Twitter, featured an AI-generated image of Clark with masculine features and criticized her performance with the caption, "10 Points 0 Rebounds 2 Assists 3 Turnovers."
Antonio Brown’s latest actions at the yacht party and his social media controversies continue to keep him in the spotlight, often for the wrong reasons.
