Antonio Brown has drawn the ire of the internet for his comments about a reported romance between Karrueche Tran and Deion Sanders.

During a press conference on Monday, July 28, Deion Sanders revealed he was free of bladder cancer. Not long after, a video of Tran crying by the Colorado football head coach’s bedside before he went in for surgery went viral, prompting fans to speculate about a possible romance between the two.

However, former Tampa Bay Buccaneers star Antonio Brown took to X to slam the idea.

“Karrueche… baby. This man don’t have a bladder or toes. What are you doing,” Brown posted on X, also referring to Sanders' toe amputation.

"AB flew out the country and became a menace to society"

The comments didn't end there:

"He mad cause he ain’t get a reply in her DM," someone else chimed in.
"What does having toes or a bladder have to do with loving and caring about someone?" a fourth user questioned.

See how the rest of X is reacting:

"He needs a time out from social media," one user suggested.

"Ignorant," yet another asserted.

Users were visibly disappointed in Brown for his comments.


Everything we know about Deion Sanders's ailing health as the Hall of Famer says he's eager to start coaching again

In the video that is now doing the rounds online, Tran, who previously dated Chris Brown, can be seen battling tears as she explains Deion Sanders' health condition, adding that the course of treatment taken was “the best” choice for Sanders, “because it fully removes the cancer to ensure it doesn’t come back.”

Deion Sanders then asked her to "text the boys," presumably his sons Shedeur and Shilo. He added:

“This is their first day of practice today, and I’m excited.”

Deion Sanders, a two-time Super Bowl champion, shares a daughter named Deiondra and a son named Deion Jr. with his first wife, Carolyn Chambers. He also fathers sons Shilo and Shedeur and daughter Shelomi, with his second wife, Pilar Biggers-Sanders.

In his recent press conference, Deion Sanders confirmed the surgery has left him cancer-free. He plans to make it back to coaching for the Buffaloes this season, despite losing 25 pounds and struggling with bladder control.

“I’m back, baby,” he declared. “I always knew I was going to coach again. It was never in my spirit, in my heart, that God wouldn’t allow me to coach again,” Coach Prime said, via AP. “I just didn’t want to be running down to the hospital once a week when I have all of this on my plate. I don’t want that. I was like, ‘OK, can they bring one of those machines and put them in the office?’”

His surgeon, Dr. Janet Kukreja, was also present by the Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee's side as she gave insight into the head coach's health:

"Given his commitments to his family and the team, [Sanders] elected to undergo a bladder removal," Kukreja said, adding: “We’re lucky to have found it [the cancer] at this stage where I could say the word cure... because I don’t use that word lightly as a cancer doctor.”

People magazine reported in March 2022 that the Jackson State football coach had to have his big toe and second toe amputated following a dislocation and inflammation.
