Antonio Brown Wants Only Athlete Features On Next Album

Antonio Brown just released his new album, but he’s already thinking about the next one – the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers player just revealed he only wants athletes on his follow-up project.

Brown – who won a Super Bowl with Tom Brady in 2021 — joined “TMZ Live” to discuss the success of his “Paradigm” album … as well as what he plans to do next.

“The next album has to be with all the athletes,” Brown told Harvey and Charles. “We want to give every athlete a chance to be creative – NBA players, baseball players, football players.”

“We just want to give top athletes the opportunity to express themselves, to be themselves. I know a lot of players who do it on their own and maybe won’t turn it off,” said added Brown.

AB’s current album contains features from some big names in hip hop…and the project is doing well, with the help of his friend, Kanye West.

brown said TMZ Sports although Ye is not on the album, Kanye had a big hand in its production, with West overseeing everything and paying a lot of studio time.

Of course, artists like Foreign Fivio, DaBaby, young thugand Keyshia Cole are all featured on the project…but AB is eyeing names like Melvin Ingram, Shaquille O’Neal, Miles Bridges and Darren Waller the next time.

Finally, AB admitted that Shaq’s success as an athlete and a rapper helped fuel his hustler side… and opened up about working with him in the past.

“Absolutely, Shaq was the only athlete to achieve a hit album that went platinum,” Brown said. “And he was still a great player.”

“He changed the fact that athletes were one-dimensional.”
