Former NFL wide receiver, Antonio Brown, says he’s going to “F*** Druski in his SSA” in response to the skit, which he believes may have been about him.
Trent Simmonian, host of the street interview show Sidetalk, then asked AB what he would do if he saw Druski. Brown responded that he and his “CTE gang,” including Kam Chancellor, former Seattle Seahawks safety, and others he didn’t want to name, were going to give Druski the “biggest wedgie.”
The comments came in response to Druski’s August 26 skit, which featured a fictional NFL player who suffered a serious injury. In the skit, the commentary suggests that the player’s injury will affect him for the rest of his life, while the character is shown spiraling out of control.
Many critics believe Druski was portraying Brown following his January 9, 2016, injury during a game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals. Brown, who was playing for the Steelers at the time, suffered a concussion after taking a hit from Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict and was placed in the NFL’s concussion protocol.

In the years that followed, Brown became known for a series of controversial incidents, including disputes involving his contracts, legal issues, his music career, and his behavior on the field – removing his jersey and shoulder pads and leaving the field during a 2022 game against the New York Jets, while playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
While some have speculated about a connection between brain trauma and Brown’s later behavior, there is no confirmed public diagnosis that Brown has CTE.
Many of Druski’s skits incorporate funny moments inspired by real-life experiences, giving his comedy a sense of reality.
