Antonio Brown is back with a fresh scandal
The 34-year-old, whose net worth is around $22 million, received a package that included a rose gold and black diamond version of Shuki’s finger jewelry. The pieces were worth $500,000 each. Additionally, Shuki gave him a ring and a white gold chain.
According to the suit, Brown received some of the items on February 24, 2022, and agreed to pay $1.1 million for all the items by December 1, 2022. However, he failed to do so. Shuki’s attorney, Steven H. Stone, said that the celebrity jeweler is expected to address the claims publicly later this week.
The wide receiver turned rapper released a song called ‘Shuki Diamond’ in order to pay his respects to the jeweler. The seven-time Pro Bowler even recorded the song with Shuki Amar. He also performed the song on stage last year.
