Antonio Brown defends Kanye West and sticks with Donda Sports

Los Angeles, California - Kanye West doesn't have many allies left, but one big name who's sticking by the rapper is Antonio Brown, who has confirmed he'll remain president of the Donda Sports marketing agency.

While Kanye is no stranger to drama, neither is former Buccaneer Antonio Brown.

The two are like two peas in a pod when it comes to making headlines through controversy.

Ye, who is currently experiencing a lot of backlash after making and doubling down on antisemitic comments, has been losing business partners left, right, and center.

But Brown, who was appointed president of Donda Sports in February, bucked the trend on Tuesday by releasing a lengthy statement defending his friend.

"I remain true to the mission of Donda and our amazing staff and community," Brown said in a statement shared on his Twitter. "I remain dedicated to helping clarify statements taken out of proportion by the media. I remain committed to bringing new ideas, experiences, and designs to our world. I remain in support of the humanity that is Ye."

When he's not supporting "humanity," the retired wide receiver has been trolling former teammate Tom Brady amid the superstar quarterback's reported divorce from supermodel Gisele Bündchen.

On Monday, Brown unveiled new T-shirts featuring an image of himself and Bündchen hugging.

Meanwhile, Donda Sports lost two of its biggest clients on Tuesday, with Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald and Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown. Both athletes announced they will drop the agency that handled their brand marketing.
