A lot of people likely don’t understand what Antonio Brown meant when he posted a photo of himself with the caption “Super Gremlin” after he quit on the Bucs in the middle of the Jets game.
Super Gremlin is a song by Kodak Black about being betrayed by someone close to him.
This is AB implying that the Bucs, someone on the Bucs or both “switched up” on him.
Here is what the song is about.
The song sees Kodak Black rapping about “lost bonds and betrayal”, as he reflects on his time with a former close friend and how they dreamt of being “superstars” together, but he laments that the person has now “switched”. Some commentators analyzed that the song is about Kodak’s months-long beef with Florida rapper Jackboy, whom Kodak grew up with in the same neighborhood; the two had often showed respect for each other. Their relationship reportedly soured in mid-2021, with the two posting subliminal tweets about each other, one of which saw Kodak tweeting that he “made a million off Jackboy”. In June that year, Jackboy responded in an Instagram live, stating that he would not engage in public spats, and does not wish to “talk bad about my brother”. He instead hoped for a personal conversation with Kodak to air their grievances out. In November 2021, Kodak took to Instagram live, explaining that he wants to record a project with Jackboy, but implied that their issues stem from undisclosed legal matters and that Jackboy was suing him. He claimed Jackboy was trying to make him out to be the bad person, but stated that he forgives and misses him. Jackboy denied Kodak’s claims. “Super Gremlin” also finds Kodak proudly rapping about taking fake Percocets, something he mentioned in previous songs.
Do you think AB is talking about Brady or Bruce Arians?
According to Arians he was asking AB to go into the game and he refused.
Arians told Fox Sports after the game that he was trying to get Brown to go into the game and he refused, twice, as Arians told him to “get out.” Arians added to Fox Sports on Brown taking off his equipment: “Never seen anything like that in all my years.”
AB has mental health issues and one can hope that he is getting the help he needs.
Just because you don’t like someone, that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t feel empathy for someone who is clearly dealing with something deeper than football.
Tom Brady seems to understand that.
“We all love him. We care about him deeply. We want to see him be at his best. Unfortunately it won’t be with our team,” Brady said, adding that he will continue his friendship with Brown, and would encourage those around him to help him.
“I think everyone should be very compassionate and empathetic toward some very difficult things that are happening,” Brady said.
